Systems Analysis Service
We consider the components of a system. The systems we analyze are network services that support humanoid robots.

Most systems require some form of hardware that has certain capabilities. We consider the hardware you have or what you could get and how that can interact with a bigger system.

We consider options for housing and protecting the hardware.

We consider what is needed to maintain the system.
What we think the future looks like

(1) Robots are going to make you think about economics. If someone makes a robot that can do a task that normally cost X. How many times a day does a robot need to do the same task to justify a rental price of Y.

(2) Services running in data centers can easily measure and charge customers for only the amount they use. These services will be applied to rental robots.

(3) If you want to connect on and off to cloud services as you need them and you what to add or subtract rented robots as tasks dictate, then you will need some capable network gear.

(4) All this connecting and disconnecting, scaling up and scaling down needs to happen automatically. You need the part you control and trust to look after all this detail. You control the network gear in your local area network.

(5) Your local area network gear is going to need a lot complex configurations if it has to deal with new secure cloud connections and new demanding clients coming and going.

(6) The only practical way to make this work is to have a controller manage your network gear.

(7) We have only talked about a practical solution to make it possible to connect to cloud services and connect new clients. There is another major consideration. You will be empowering robots capable of manipulating your physical environment. The integrity of the system must be a top priority.

(8) Integrity of your system starts with what’s going out and what’s coming in. We have to ensure your network gateway is watching and controlling this.

(9) The integrity of your system on the inside your local area network requires that all network traffic be checked going into a switchport and going out of a switchport.

(10) Integrity is not just about threats and corrupt data. It is also about user experience and performance. Your network needs to perform and know what network traffic gets priority.
