At a Glance

Objective• Establish a single network view for ease of management.• Improve the e�ciency and accuracy in fault management and resolution.• Reduction in the number of systems used to manage complex networks.• IP provisoning accross multiple Vendor equipment.

Solution• CNMS-NG – a turnkey Network Management System and IP Provisoning tool.

Outcome • Single view of the entire network.• Management of multiple devices types accross multiple technogies.• Integrated Fault Management, Performance Management, Con�guration Management and Security Management.• IP provisioning through a single framework.

CNMS-NG’s highly customisable portal o�ers �exible layout views that you can easily tailor to present only the desired information, in the format that you prefer.

�e ownership and maintenance of networks has become complex and diverse. In many cases this includes operating multiple technologies (PDH, SDH, IP, MPLS, DWDM, Radio etc.) and maintaining devices from di�erent vendors. �is has led to challenges that include:

• �e need to plan, operate and manage all the networks and devices separately • �e need to manage multiple vendor software systems • Operating a complex Operating Centre requiring multiple screens to view all networks and devices • Increased OPEX in maintaining multiple software solutions and associated training• Network Owners and Operators are seeking consolidation

CNMS-NG provides an NMS platform with a single consolidated view to manage devices from multiple vendors, across multiple technologies.

�is consolidated view provides owners with the following technical and �nancial bene�ts:

• View the entire network through a single interface• View ‘End-to-End’ network services across multiple devices• Faster fault detection and correction• Performance metrics based on decision making rules• Integration with other operational software solutions• Centralised con�guration management for each device• IP Service Provisioning across multiple vendor devices• Reduction in the number of entities required to manage the entire network

PERFORMANCE &SLA MONITORING

IP/ MPLS Service Provisioning – Service Studio Service Studio transforms service provider operations by provisioning “any IP service” for “any IP device”. �e Studio toolset quickly models IP services without any programming required. �is eliminates the need for complex deployment strategies typically required to deliver customer services.

Operators can model any IP service, including FTTx, mobile backhaul, Ethernet, LTE and Multi-media. Alarm correlation can be applied to links and services for enhanced management with no programming required. Service Studio empowers administrators to implement service modi�cations without delay.

Complete End-to-End Service Can be Modelled, Provisioned and Monitored Services across multiple devices can be con�gured within one service module. End-to-End Service Modelling has the following advantages:

• Consistency in Programming

• Single Point for fault diagnoses

• Single Point for Health/SLA monitoring

• Easy Visibility

• Signi�cantly quicker to deploy with less operator skill involved
