Whether you're looking to add new products to your current installation or seeking to adopt entire new technologies, getting products from multiple vendors to work together is a risky, sometimes un-workable proposition. Let us look at the products and technologies you're interested in. We'll tell you what works and what doesn't, before you've thrown your network into chaos.

Although the most important "feature" of any networking product is standards-compliance, other features help to make some products more palatable than others. Although we don't do usability and large-scale performance testing, we will look at features that improve managability. For example, the kinds of alerting mechanisms that a particular product supports can mean the difference between being able to know when a criticial condition occurs and sleeping through a major crisis in blissful ignorance.

Product releases rarely go as well as you hope. We've been there, and we feel your pain. In order to help you develop and ship the best possible product, we also make our testing and review services available on a pre-release basis, giving you the feedback you need to enter the market with confidence, or to wisely delay delivery until problems are addressed. This process helps everybody, but only when you take advantage of it.
