Description
The Remote Implementation Service for a SonicWall Global Management System (NSM) or Analytics is a deployment service (“Activity”) that deploys and integrates the SonicWall Global Management System (NSM) or Analytics into a customer environment. This Activity is typically implemented within 15 business days after the SonicWall Advanced Services Partner receives the completed implementation planning document(s). The Activities will be limited to those stated herein.
What is RIS for SonicWall NSM?
SonicWall Remote Implementation Services are delivered by SonicWall’s Advanced Services partners who have completed extensive training, certification and have demonstrated expertise in all aspects and products of SonicWall’s solution platform. Upon the completion of purchase and processing, the Advanced Services partner will begin the coordination of the Remote Implementation Service within five (5) business days. Upon completion of the Remote Implementation Service, the Advanced Services partner will continue to support the configuration for thirty (30) calendar days.
What is Included?
The planned Activities include the following:
Configuration
- Register unit and upgrade firmware (for a Virtual Appliance implementation, the customer is responsible for deploying the appropriate Virtual Machine)
- Will provide configuration for an All-in-one or Distributed configuration (Distributed configuration requires multiple NSM servers) Installation
- Configure NSM appliance with appropriate role and network configuration for access, reporting, and management of supported SonicWall devices
- Assist with any necessary Network Address Translation (NAT) policies and Access Rules for management and reporting
- Provide LDAP integration (if applicable) for management access

How long will the network be down?
There is no downtime associated with NSM On-Prem deployments.
How long does the entire process take?
While we will not know exact time frames until we have more specific information about the configuration and environment, we strive to have most remote implementations completed in about 10 business days after we receive the completed implementation planning document(s). This is of course subject to change based on complexity of customer’s environment/ configuration.
Are same-day or after hours installs supported?
Same-day configurations and implementations are not supported due to the ongoing support and other scheduled appointments of our customers. After hours appointments are done on a case-by-case basis and largely depend on the engineer’s schedule. Under NO circumstances will MSS do a Sunday install.
Does MSS provide support after the implementation?
Yes! We provide 30-days of post-implementation support. During this time, all support by MSS is included at no charge. Support is provided during MSS’s normal business hours (Monday - Friday, 8:00am - 5:00pm EST).
Is there anything NOT included?
- Adding additional units
- Troubleshooting database issues
- Training/Consulting Services
- Configuring Customer LDAP system
- Deploying a Distributed Server Configuration
