TRaDE Tools - Project Automation |
Deployment Solutions, Inc. has developed TRaDE Tools as a suite of
automation processes and tools designed to facilitate large-scale, rapid,
and accurate deployment of technology. DSI has developed proprietary
configuration software and software enabled processes to automatically
load the Internetworking Operating System (IOS) and custom configuration
settings onto several internetworking systems including, routers, switches,
DSUs, etc. We also apply this approach to the operating system (OS),
applications and customization for POS, servers, desktop and laptop
computers. By automating the configuration process, DSI has virtually
eliminated the defects of manual configurations. We work with our clients
to electronically receive details of the software configuration including
any associated data files. The system then automatically configures
each device and runs a comprehensive list of test procedures. We can
test slot assignments, component additions, memory upgrades, revision
levels, device type, etc. In most cases, we can reduce the time it takes
to configure and test a device by 30-70% while ensuring there are no
defects in process. At the end of a successful configuration, the tool prints customer-required
documents. If anything goes wrong during the earlier steps this documentation
is not printed. This prevents the accidental shipping of incorrectly
configured devices. The real-time production of documentation, such
as installation instructions, configuration detail, packing lists, asset
tags, shipping documents and labels, insure that all the required documents
accompany hardware to the installation location. We can interface with
many Project Management Websites. Configuration status information can
be produced and transmitted via hard copy, e-mail, or website. Our TRaDE tools are current focused in two areas of technology. The
internetworking technology automation solution is called ICON and the
computing technology solution is called PC GenIE. The TRaDE tools are
a combination of physical hardware and proven processes designed to
remove time, task, and risk from field deployments. Instead of trying
to implement and debug technology onsite, the TRaDE Tools create well-documented
defect-free, pre-configured device kits insuring predictable,
efficient, trouble-free Plug-and-Play installations. ICON Internetworking Configuration is a software-enabled process that can accommodate the requirements of most major operating systems and platforms in the internetworking space. ICON allows for individual builds via a set of automated processes that encompass network requirements and site specifics related to our clients individual internetworking environment. Our engineers can create ICON modules for almost any device that has a com port interface. PC GenIE DSI has developed the PC GenIE solution to accommodate the staging
and configuration of computing deployment solutions (CDS). PC GenIE
allows for custom builds via an automated process that encompasses the
unique settings related to todays image management within a computing
environment. This environment includes servers, desktop and laptop computers,
etc. from a hardware, software and user setting perspective. With PC
GenIE, DSI can:
