Website icons that will be used throughout our new site. We need probably 3 icons to start:
1) Network visualization insight and control. Our software uniquely shows users what is happening in real-time on a very complex network through an easy to use, web based graphical interface. If there's a problem, they can take immediate action (control)
2) Service assurance. Services are mission-critical revenue-producing services that ride on a network. For example, credit card transactions for Visa or MasterCard, delivering the video content for CNN to all of its viewers across cable, and the military communicating critical data from the battlefield via satellite and other networks, etc. Monitoring, managing, and protecting those services.
3) Automation. Configuring networks often takes hundreds of skilled engineers having to manually type in commands and interact with various applications and equipment. Much of this work can be highly automated.
We need viewers to understand we are a powerful, unique, enterprise and military grade software firm providing disruptive technology that changes the way networks are typically managed.
The name CodeMettle: Code is software. Mettle is defined: a person's ability to cope well with difficulties or to face a demanding situation in a spirited and resilient way.
