The primary objective of the Standard Operating Environment was to develop the platform baseline for the Network Management Systems for Corporate campuses (Corporate NSM).   This standard methodology would then be applied to all campuses in the implementation of the Enterprise Network Management Platform.

· Detail the NSM solution including hardware architecture, software architecture and Operating System;
· Detail system build sequence including environment variables, file partitions, network interfaces and dependencies;
· Identification of integration process to include any scripts, adapters and custom code written to build the platform. (Run and Build Docs);
· Document all maintenance issues necessary to keep platform performing optimally;
· Identify any other issues regarding normal operations and use of the NSM.

MIL-STD-100 Deliverables

The NSM deliverable is defined as a fully functioning Network Management Platform.  The NSM database product is delivered to Corporate for a pre-determined trial period, after which, application tuning and architectural hardening will be applied.  The NSM Deliverable is:

· Document and provide training on the NSM Product / usage and turn it over Corporate Staff;
· Allow Corporate to put the product into production;
· 30 day follow-up to address any issues of note raised by initial deliverables to Corporate;
· 60 day followup to do additional tuning as needed;

Please note that the NSM rollout Test and Acceptance (T&A) phase, for the remaining campuses, will be a 30-day period
