Network Management Solutions Brief

Keeping up with technology is no easy feat. And neither is keeping a network up and running continuously. Managing your organization’s network on your own can be complicated, requiring significant time, effort, and staff. Plus you need to keep it upgraded, install new technology, and troubleshoot issues.

To keep your business running smoothly, you need to keep your network going. But maintaining your network doesn’t have to tie up your IT personnel. They should be helping you move into new markets or improve experiences for your customers.

Fortunately, network management is our business. We have the expertise to manage your network, devices, and more—including global IT professionals to monitor your network 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

We have more than 25 years of experience managing some of the most complex networks in the world, so you can connect users to applications simply, securely, and reliably.

We offer a comprehensive managed services portfolio that includes complete network design and implementation, and provides broad visibility into your network infrastructure. If and when something does occur—a natural or man-made event—our team of experts can promptly address the issue and work toward a speedy resolution.

We can also help you stay ahead of technology trends. We’ve modified our offerings to support capabilities—like Application-Aware Routing—that can help you begin building a software-defined network or implement network function virtualization. Our Managed Network Services roadmap will keep pace with future advances so you can transition smoothly to these new technologies.

Choose from simple monitoring and notification to co-management or full outsourcing. We’ll even manage third-party networks. We also offer industry-leading service level agreements (SLAs) for many of our managed network services. So whether you’re looking for partial or full network management, your network is in good hands.

Leverage our team of network management experts—including engineering staff and global IT professionals to monitor your network 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Our innovative IMPACT rapid fault isolation and restoration capabilities help us reduce fault isolation and correction time—and provide time-to-repair SLAs as low as 3.5 hours on select Verizon networks.1
