Digital transformation and growing security demands require flexible business networks. To keep up to date, swift adaption to technological progress is necessary. Companies not only have to be able to react to business requirements such as office extensions or the opening of a new location, but they also need to be able to ensure hybrid work models, Cloud and IoT integration or to assure compliance and conformity.
Due to these framework conditions, companies are increasingly procuring their services as “…as a service”.¹ Thus, initially required large investments (CAPEX) will become continuous operational expenses (OPEX) that are easier to finance. That way, regular adaptions can be implemented much easier.
NTS ON DEMAND NETWORK² by NTS is a solution that keeps the network equipment up to date and supported whilst controlling the budget. NTS ON DEMAND NETWORK is growing with the requirements of the customer, completely without hidden costs and it is upgradeable: You only pay for what is being used.
In a symbolic sense, NTS ON DEMAND NETWORK is a rental building with additional benefits. The customer themselves use and operate the network infrastructure (rental building) and view the current status online of their network inventory. In the case of an incident, they get in touch with the “facility management”, which in this case would be NTS. The NTS experts immediately take care of the troubleshooting and – if required – also coordinate the RMA. Expansions are possible during the service life as well. Thus, the network can grow with the business in a flexible and fast way.

NTS Support Services support NTS customers in case of a fault. The NTS Standard 24×72⁴ support that is included ensures:
- 24×7 availability (email and phone)
- Case handling and RMA processing for hardware replacements
- NTS as an interface between manufacturer and customer
- Fault analysis and troubleshooting (remote and – if required – on site)
- Provision of software versions
For all this, the NTS experts of the Operations Centers (OC) are available around-the-clock.
By creating an inventory of the network infrastructure and due to centrally saved configuration information, NTS INVENTORY4ALL (I4ALL) is an efficient tool for the transparency and the control of the network inventory. I4ALL takes care of the continuous capturing of technical data (for instance: serial numbers, modules and interfaces) of the managed devices and it amends these with lifecycle information (service level, EoX data) by NTS and Cisco.
Additionally, I4ALL generates configuration backups (for instance: running config and startup config) of devices that are supported and that are managed in the inventory. The backups can be retrieved in the NTS portal in a quick and simple manner and can shorten the configuration time during the recovery.
