Nakina Systems provides Network Integrity Management solutions to the telecommunications industry worldwide. Our solutions enable service providers to introduce new services and grow networks more rapidly and with fewer outages by automating the discovery of network equipment, reconciling with inventory systems, auditing software in the network, and centralizing management of network security. Nakina’s solutions power integrity in the world’s largest networks, and they are provided in partnership with the world’s largest and most advanced equipment manufacturers.

The next generation of networks – whether LTE, Ethernet, IMS, or optical – replaces centralized architectures with highly distributed functions. In theory, costs go down, flexibility goes up, and service providers profit. In practice, the increased complexity of maintaining hardware and software configurations inhibits growth, encourages configuration errors that lead to outages, and degrades customer experience. Nakina’s customers deploy our solutions to:

• Accelerate network upgrades and new installs by providing a baseline readout of network element software configuration before and after the upgrade;
• Reduce the ‘drift’ between the gold standard network design and the network in operation through online auditing, discrepancy checking, and locking down the network with centralized security management; and
• Improve asset utilization and reduce network hardware maintenance expenses by identifying discrepancies in inventory and asset records through automated network discovery.
