Effective Managed Network Services, (MNS) Monitoring can be daunting, especially for clients using network devices currently migrating APIs, such as Palo Alto. Today’s businesses rely on various robust, flexible solutions to maintain operational efficiency. Additionally, IT resources are generally limited. EnTelegent Solutions undertook a project that exemplifies the impact of leveraging our adaptable and comprehensive MNS Monitoring platform. We addressed complex challenges and delivered remarkable results for a prominent medical retailer with 19 locations.
API Connectivity
The project involved managing two circuits per location. These were either Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) or Broadband, plus a Managed WAN and two Palo Alto devices at each site. One of our biggest challenges was navigating the complexities of Palo Alto’s ongoing platform migration, specifically, identifying the correct API versions.
Our first task was to determine which API version the client was using. Then, once we secured access to the appropriate API, most of our services became “out-of-the-box” solutions. Our adaptability allows us to provide connectivity options for old and new Palo APIs. This ensures that we can manage transitions seamlessly. It also minimizes the effort required from both our and the client’s end. Thus, allowing us to establish API connectivity to the customer tenant with minimal disruption.
Customized Reporting
Our next step was consulting with the customer regarding their reporting needs. Every customer is unique. After understanding the nuances, EnTelegent Solutions provided customized reporting capabilities, adapting to the client’s distinct deployment scenarios and connectivity requirements. We can tailor our reporting to meet specific customer needs, providing insights that are just as comprehensive as those offered in the Palo Alto portal. Our flexibility in reporting ensures that our clients receive the most relevant and actionable data, tailored to their operational requirements.
A Comprehensive Platform
One of the standout features of our MNS Monitoring service is its breadth and depth. Unlike the Palo Alto portal, which retains data for only seven days unless additional costs are incurred for enhanced reporting, our platform maintains data for a full two years. This extended data retention aids in troubleshooting, analysis, and long-term planning. Our monitoring platform isn’t limited to Palo Alto; we essentially monitor anything with an IP address. We provide visibility across a broad range of vendors, all within a single, user-friendly interface. This multi-vendor support is particularly valuable for enterprises looking to consolidate their network management efforts.
Cost-Efficient Solution
In today’s competitive market, cost efficiency is a significant consideration for any enterprise. Our service platform offers considerable cost savings while delivering high-quality service and 24/7/365 Network Operations Center (NOC) support.
The value our customers receive—combining top-tier managed services with competitive pricing—underscores our commitment to providing exceptional solutions. Often, the cost of our platform, including NOC support, is less than other offerings in the market.
Partnership Success
The medical retailer, with its 19 locations and dual-circuit setup, required a level of expertise and reliability that EnTelegent delivered flawlessly.
“Our Partnership with EnTelegent Solutions on a recent project for a prominent medical retailer with 19 locations was truly transformative. The project involved two circuits per location, either DIA or Broadband, Managed WAN, and two Palo Alto devices at each site. EnTelegent’s team managed the deployment of the circuits and brought a unique value to the table by seamlessly managing the Palo Alto devices, a task that others had previously failed. Their exceptional service and technical expertise have impressed us and the client. We initially sought out EnTelegent due to a glowing recommendation from another major player in the medical industry, and they did not disappoint. EnTelegent Solutions has proven to be a reliable and innovative partner in our endeavors, particularly where Palo Alto devices are involved.”
