How long does network deployment take in the Philippines? A comparison of 1IX Subscription IT deployment timelines vs. traditional procurement across 6 scenarios.
1IX Subscription IT deployments go live in 2-6 weeks across all scenarios, compared to 16-52 weeks for traditional procurement-driven deployments. The largest time savings come from eliminating the procurement cycle (budget approval, vendor RFQ, bidding, import) and from Zero-Touch Provisioning, which automates device configuration. For ISPs, this means 33 weeks of additional billing revenue; for government agencies, it eliminates the PhilGEPS bidding cycle for agencies with existing IT maintenance budgets.
| Scenario | Traditional (weeks) | 1IX Subscription (weeks) | Time Saved | Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Office (20 users) | 16w | 2w | 14w | 88% |
| Enterprise Campus (200 users) | 24w | 3w | 21w | 88% |
| ISP Core (5,000 subs) | 36w | 3w | 33w | 92% |
| Datacenter Fabric (200 servers) | 28w | 4w | 24w | 86% |
| Multi-Site Enterprise (5 sites) | 40w | 6w | 34w | 85% |
| Government Agency Network | 52w | 5w | 47w | 90% |
1IX pre-stages equipment with Zero-Touch Provisioning, eliminating the procurement cycle entirely.
Traditional budget approval alone takes longer than the entire 1IX deployment.
ISP can start billing subscribers 33 weeks earlier with subscription model.
EVPN fabric automation enables parallel configuration of all leaf switches simultaneously.
1IX deploys all 5 sites in parallel; traditional model installs sequentially due to staffing limits.
OPEX subscription avoids PhilGEPS bidding entirely for agencies with existing IT maintenance budgets.
Traditional deployments spend 6-16 weeks on budget approval, vendor RFQ, bidding, and purchase orders. 1IX owns the equipment, so deployment starts immediately upon contract signing.
All Juniper devices are pre-staged and pre-configured at our staging facility. When equipment arrives on-site, it downloads its configuration automatically via ZTP, eliminating manual CLI configuration that takes 2-4 weeks in traditional deployments.
1IX deploys multiple sites simultaneously using our engineering team and ZTP automation. Traditional deployments install sites sequentially due to limited staff and configuration complexity.
We maintain tested configuration templates for ISP, enterprise, datacenter, and government scenarios. New deployments start from proven templates, reducing design and configuration time from weeks to days.
1IX maintains local inventory of the most-deployed Juniper platforms in our Manila staging facility. Traditional imports of carrier-grade networking equipment face 2-4 week customs clearance delays.
