Policy Services




Domain Support in UIMArtifacts Built in Design Studio Give UIM Its “Face”

To model these inventory components in

UIM …

Representing inventory in a DSL context will need as a base a set of pre-configured specifications for the equipment, devices,

connections etc. that are part of this domain. These would be created in UIM by

importing the Design Studio cartridges bundled as a DSL Technology Pack.

… we first use Design Studio to create the

specifications that are templates for these types of object …

… which are a realization of the

object model of the DSL service

Complete Network Capacity Management System

How?

• Plan new network build just ahead of the demand curve

• Optimize existing capacity assets

• Migrate/Reduce nodes, real estate play

• Predict potential stress points in the network in advance

• Sales Bid Support provides a detailed build plan and cost

Delivers Rapid ROI

Network IntelligenceObjectives

• Just-in-Time capacity – anticipate necessary network change just ahead of the demand curve

• Balanced asset utilization and routing, have adequate

stretch capacity

• Business Intelligence dashboard for improved

decision making

• View multiple networks, with multiple inventories, as if

one homogenous network (Federated View)

• Model ‘What-if’ scenarios as to future demand and

impact on network
