Ease of Use

Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

Managing hipersocket connections is both complex and tedious. Implementation of this would dramatically simplify the definition operation of hipersocket   networks. Also gives much more granular security  to controlling access to VLANs, VSWITCHes, etc via ESM, and lower overhead to manage the connection.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

     

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)

 

We will continue to waste effort managing mappings of HS triplets to guests.
