For each subscriber, the policy management server maintains the quota amount and keeps track of quota usage. Each subscriber’s quota is maintained based on the subscriber’s assigned subscription plan (package). Periodically — for example, monthly or weekly — the quota can be replenished automatically, based on the service provider’s policy.

In addition to the policy management server, NIL offers a self-care portal that gives subscribers control over their own quota management:

  • Subscribers who exceed the assigned quota amount before the end of the automatic replenishment period are redirected to the self-care portal, where they are offered the opportunity to increase the quota by purchasing additional quota.
  • At any time, subscribers can view the remaining amount of quota for the active subscription plan.
  • To transfer data at greater speeds temporarily, subscribers can turn on high-speed functionality by using a turbo button, which grants greater transfer speed for a certain amount of data. After the granted amount is spent, the system automatically returns the subscriber to the original subscription plan.
  • Subscribers can change their subscription plans by purchasing a different plan.

The portal has been already introduced to public on Cisco Networkers in Barcelona in January 2010. For any details on SCE portal please contact us at info@nil.com or call +386 1 4746 500.

NIL actively participated in the development of this training and has recently been approved for the Cisco UCS Special Practice program, which recognizes NIL’s capabilities in the area of UCS and the Data Center in particular.


NIL’s expertise in the Data Center and virtualization was recognized in development of the Data Center Unified Computing Design (DCUCD) course, which supports the new Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Design Specialist certification. NIL also offers the Data Center Unified Computing Implementation (DCUCI) course, which supports the new Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Support Specialist certification.

The knowledge gained by attending NIL’s DCUCD and DCUCI courses enables learners to design and implement scalable, reliable and intelligent Data Center Virtualization solutions based on the Cisco UCS system, along with other Cisco Data Center products, server virtualization software and server operating systems.

Learners will benefit from NIL experts who have almost a decade of experience with virtualization, data center infrastructure, storage and unified computing. NIL’s proven expertise has resulted in its being one of the first Cisco Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) partners for UCS in the region. NIL has been actively involved in the development of related learning solutions for Cisco; the Data Center Unified Computing Design (DCUCD) and the Data Center Network Infrastructure 1 (DCNI-1) courses were developed by NIL experts.

TelePresence makes it possible to organize both intra-company and inter-company (business-to-business) meetings via safe connections, and the number of TelePresence conference centers has grown rapidly.

TelePresence systems enable organizations to expand business activities and work teams, while enjoying additional benefits:

  • Enriched communication and cooperation among co-workers, partners and clients
  • Improved responsiveness and faster decision-making processes
  • Higher productivity with more frequent communication and less travel
  • Enhanced efficiency and reduced costs
  • Faster introduction of products to market
  • Better quality of life
  • Smaller environmental footprint

NIL was the first company in central Europe to set up TelePresence for demonstration purposes. As the only Slovenian Cisco-specialized partner for the TelePresence technology, NIL provides cutting-edge knowledge of Cisco global standards, which continues to strengthen its position as the leading Slovenian company for network communications.
