Patent ID: 7684321

Claim:
A method for providing substantially measurable network service comprising: capturing by a processor one or more of a user's network service requirements in one or more data structures stored in a computer readable medium; outputting one or more design solutions in substantial compliance with the user's captured network service requirements; provisioning network devices configured to implement a selected one of the outputted design solutions, which is modifiable and which comprises at least one of network infrastructure and network services; activating said provisioned design solution for use by the user; monitoring by the processor said activated design solution for variation in at least one of delivery performance and usage, said monitoring being of the network devices used in said activated design solution; maintaining by the processor performance metrics data on said activated design solution in one or more data structures stored in a computer readable medium; comparing by the processor said performance metrics with the user's captured network service requirements to determine whether delivery of said activated design solution, is in substantial compliance with the user's captured network service requirements; and modifying the activated design solution if the delivery of said activated design solution is not in substantial compliance with the user's captured network service requirements.
