Planning for Network Growth and Migration

SP Guru Network Planner’s predictive design environment makes it ideally suited for understanding the impact of traffic growth, new network and service deployments, and network migration.

Key features:

• Determine if the network supports current traffic demands and identify any bottlenecks that exist
• Understand how much additional traffic the network can support and what sections of the network need to be upgraded when traffic volume increases in the future
• Explore alternatives such as hardware upgrades, IGP metric tuning, traffic engineering, and QoS implementation
• Predict capacity and performance impact of rolling out new offerings such as VoIP, IPTV, multi-play, and VPN-based and managed services.
• Plan ahead for migration to MPLS and other next-generation network architectures.
• Validate proposed topology and configuration changes prior to deployment
