Three Ways You Can Prepare for the Collector

[marobbs]

The collector performs three distinct tasks:

• network discovery
• data collection
• secure data upload

The sooner you have the collector up and running, the more quickly you can realize the value of your Network Optimization Service. You can help speed this process along by:

• filling out the collector questionnaire
• creating a seed list of your network devices
• working with your information security team to make sure of data access and protection.

One note - be aware the demand.cisco.com/cspc link above references the Advanced Services - Network Optimization Service (NOS), which is a fee-based / subscription service.

Just don't want Cisco's customers to be expecting Network Consulting Engineer high-touch services in the free/base-level Smart Net Total Care service now available to all customers.
