listed in the slide include:Simplified operations is attained
through a single view of the entire network. Prime Central provides
unified inventory view and fault management across the entire IP
NGNWorkflow consistencies is enabled by single sign-on access to
cross-domain operator workflows with point and click capabilities
for provisioning, troubleshooting and performance analysis Support
for standards-based northbound interfaces and integration probes
reduces overhead and time for integration of applicationsLower
costs can result from flexible rate of adoption for new components
of the Prime suite (i.e. Lowers upfront costs, can pay
incrementally with added components) Out-of-the-box integration
with Cisco Prime components also reduces deployment costs
Cisco Prime provides a web based portal for operators and
administrators who can access all lifecycle management functions
together with cross launch capabilities for each functional
module.
The portal allows single sign-on and Role Based Access Control
(RBAC) to limit and control operator coverage area.
Web-based portal to access Cisco Prime lifecycle managers Common
user experience with integrated operator workflows Unified
Inventory for both transport and packet networks Common Event/Alarm
management with correlation MTOSI rel 2.0 API for OSS integration
(MTOSI = Multi-Technology Operations Systems Interface (MTOSI), an
XML-based Operations System (OS)-to-OS interface suite.) MTOSI
covers both service and resource level interfaces. At the resource
level, MTOSI includes interfaces for inventory, provisioning, fault
management, and performance management. At the service level, MTOSI
has interfaces for service activation and for service
inventory.8Thank you.C97-707260-00 2012 Cisco and/or its
