Site Configuration Survey

The ECLIPS Site Configuration Survey (SCS) is an detailed customer-view of the their network. This survey is required as part of the Customer Infrastructure Readiness Survey process. The ECLIPS SCS questionnaire must be filled out as completely as possible, and can require the Account Team's regional Sales Engineering resources to assist. In addition to the SCS the customer must provide a topology map of their existing network (LAN/WAN and hardware/ software configuration listings). When the SCS is complete, the customer provides both the SCS and Topology Maps with detailed descriptions of topology components (routers, Ethernet switches, PSTN linked systems, firewalls, servers, E-mail systems, etc.). This information goes to the CVDN Professional Service engineering team that reviews this information and prepares for the Vital Agent Analysis, the second component of the Basic network readiness assessment service.
