The Detailed network readiness assessment process
To begin the Detailed network readiness assessment process, the customer must have
completed the:
● Basic network readiness assessment service. If a customer has already concluded that
their network is not ready for the implementation of Avaya IP Telephony, they can skip the
Basic service.
● Site Configuration Survey (SCS).
● Network topology map.
During a Detailed network readiness assessment service, data collection utilities and network
simulation tools are loaded onto a customer’s network at pre-determined endpoints. Traffic
with similar characteristics injected onto the network and monitored for performance under load
conditions. After the performance analysis, a comprehensive report documenting network
performance, problem areas, and suggested resolutions is given to the customer. The CVDN
Professional Services organization can also provide a separate proposal to assist the customer
in configuration and integration/administration engineering services to prepare the network for
the proposed Avaya IP Telephony application.
