MANAGER OF MANAGERS SERVICE ASSURANCE

SOLUTION

For large-scale management architectures, NetBoss Manager

of Managers offers multi-technology, multi-vendor serviceassurance. Scalable over a range of event and device volumes,

it enables network management at abstracted levels of detail.

Supporting high-volume event processing with advanced,

flexible filtering and correlation, NetBoss enables operators to

find and focus on network issues. This happens without

examining thousands of low-level events to determine root

causes and isolate trouble spots.

ALARM AND EVENT COLLECTION FOR

GEOGRAPHICALLY BROAD NETWORKS

Centrally managing a large, geographically dispersed network

is a challenge: operators can be overwhelmed by high volumes

of alarms and events. NetBoss summarizes,aggregates and

prioritizes events, significantly reducing volume of alarms and

events, expediting important ones. This ensures smooth,

efficient operation, simplifying and lowering cost of data

communications. Operators can configure summary and

aggregation functions per alarm and event management

policies, providing additional operational flexibility.

MULTI-TECHNOLOGY, MULTI-VENDOR

MANAGEMENT

For mid-range management architectures, NetBoss domain

manager offers multi-technology, multi-vendor service

assurance. It is scalable over a range of event and device

volumes. With both high-volume event processing and

advanced, flexible filtering, configure NetBoss to show only

events you need to see, rather than flooding you with low-

priority events. With NetBoss efficient filtering, operators can

find, focus on and correct network problems faster, reducing

troubleshooting, repair times and outages.

NetBoss XT solutions span all horizontal applications of the Service Assurance ver

as defined in the TM Forums Operations area of the Business Process Framework

also known as eTOMenhanced Telecom Operations Mapping.

SATISFY HIGH COMPLEXITY MANAGEMENT

ARCHITECTURE NEEDS WITH NETBOSS XT

Even forlarge, complex networks, NetBoss XT can manage

their infrastructure with the most complete and versatile

architectural building blocks for management systems. The

value is considerable: cost and capacity are scaled to your

network, compared tosettling on a generic product.

NETBOSS XT INCREASES ROI, LOWERS OPEX

The latest technologies and open industry standards are at

the heart of NetBoss XTs advantage. They deliver improved

ROI and OPEX, while adding valuable interface and platform

flexibility. These advantages ensure that your NetBoss XT

management solution will serve future and current needs.

DMTF COMMON INFORMATION MODEL

The Distributed Management Task Forces(DMTF) Common

Information Model (CIM) is the standard for NetBoss XTs

presentation of management information. CIM is a

significant differentiator that simplifies and reduces cost of

interfacing to CIM-compliant solutions. Aviats User

Information Model refines andcomplements CIM, reduces

complexity and enables presentation of only needed data.

JAVA TECHNOLOGIES

NetBoss XT is completely Java-based. Among the most

important of the NetBoss XT Java technologies are Java

Management Extensions (JMX), Java Authentication and

Authorization Service (JAAS), Hibernate (object persistency),

Java Swing GUI widgets and theJview Telecom Graphics

Objects (JTGO) interface. These advanced Java technologies

deliver multiplebenefits, including modularity, platform

independence, ease of integration and use and consistent

easy-to-learn GUIs, lowering operational and training costs.

TMF STANDARD INTERFACES

The TM Forum (TMF) defines standard interfaces such as

MTOSI (Multi-Technology Operations System Interface) and

OSS/J (Operations Support System through Java) that are

critical to and flexible for connecting a multitude of support

systems. Using these standards reduces development cost

and risk and accelerates integration and service

deployment.

MULTI-PROTOCOL INTERFACE SUPPORT

NetBoss XT also supports multiple open standards-based

management interface protocols, including SNMP, XML over

HTTP, CORBA and TL1. Its published APIs also facilitate

easy integration with third-party applications.
