IT Network Assessment Tool

Discovery and Assessment of the customer’s actual network

Discovery and assessment of a customer’s actual network are critical steps in understanding the current state of their IT infrastructure. These processes help organizations get a comprehensive, real-time view of their network environment, which is essential for making informed decisions about upgrades, security, compliance, and overall network health.

We are seeing a glaring, urgent, and widespread need to know exactly what is in network(s) right now. Not what was planned, but what is really out there. We call that accurate network view the Network Source of Truth. Consultants, solution architects, and sales engineers are all being tasked with new and different types of projects that are reliant on having a comprehensive network view.

Need for an accurate network scan

Understanding the actual state of a customer’s network, not just the planned architecture, is critical for baselining, various assessments and projects, such as security posture evaluations, vulnerability scans, health checks, compliance reports, and managed services proposals.

The easiest path for network baselining and design proposals

Netformx AssetXpert allows for the rapid baselining of network inventory, enabling a detailed audit and analysis of multivendor networks. It can discover and document the network down to the node level, identifying security vulnerabilities.

After establishing the network baseline, Netformx DesignXpert conveniently supports the creation of detailed network designs and proposals. It integrates with Cisco Commerce Workspace (CCW) for streamlined design processes.

Increase revenue with network refresh and upgrades

Netformx AssetXpert identifies equipment that is underpowered, outdated, or has security vulnerabilities (end-of-life or out-of-service, CVEs). This capability is useful across the network lifecycle, including pre-sales, managed service maintenance for MSPs, and renewal stages.

AssetXpert can be the easiest and fastest path for Cisco partners to earn rewards from Cisco’s new program that launched mid-September 2024 “Customer Assessment Incentives for Networking”. The program also covers Security and Collaboration.

The program requires conducting thorough assessments of a customer’s network. That means you need an assessment tool that will collect the data, provide a complete view of the network, and then enrich that data. AssetXpert simplifies the discovery process and program fulfillment requirements
