Service Aware Management
All AgileCore Management Systems applications have been designed with
end-to-end wavelengths in mind. Using a standard, layered network information
model, relationships between network equipment and wavelengths can be
easily tracked. This, in turn, provides powerful correlation capabilities
making day-to-day tasks easy for the user. With simple point and click
operations, users can determine which wavelengths and customers are affected
by a fault or which network resources are used by a wavelength.
Stay Ahead
of Bandwidth Demand
Anticipating where additional network capacity is required ahead of demand
unlocks a new level in responsiveness to bandwidth demand. The Network
Dashboard provides real time resource usage information to pinpoint network
hot spots where additional resources are required. Key network resources
such as add/drop interfaces and wavelength converters/regenerators are
monitored at every site. This decouples the wavelength provisioning process
from equipment deployment, enabling service providers to run lean, responsive
networks without elaborate forecasting and planning.
Wavelength
Activation
Activate wavelengths across the entire network with an easy to use, point
and click interface. The user can simply specify the A and Z locations
and the class of service. Connect Center leverages the call control infrastructure
and photonic routing intelligence embedded in the AgileCore Network Operating
System to provide the lowest cost end-to-end wavelength route. Alternately,
the service provider can have full control over the wavelength route,
specifying either complete or partial route constraints.
Wavelength
monitoring
All wavelengths support SONET performance monitoring at network ingress/egress
points, end-to-end
digital performance monitoring using digital wrapper technology and analog
optical measurements. All performance monitoring data is correlated to
end-to-end wavelengths. On-demand, non-intrusive "optical eavesdropping"
taps can be switched into a path at any pass-through site to get true
digital performance measurements, simplifying troubleshooting.
OSS Integration
TMN architecture with open interfaces based on Telemangement Forum CORBA
specifications ensure that the AgileCore Management System can be seamlessly
integrated into the service provider's OSS infrastructure. The standard
information models (ITU M.3100, G.872, G.805) provided within the AgileCore
Management System enable open information exchange.
Network
wide security administration
A common security service is used for all AgileCore Management System,
TPX 1000, DLS 1000 and TPG 1000 Craft Interface users - allowing secure
access anywhere within the network. This offers centralized control of
all users and roles with automatic distribution throughout the AgileCore
network.
Network
Data Transfer
Plan network evolution and optimize the existing network using real network
information. The AgileCore Management System can exchange network information
with the AgileCore Planning & Engineering Center.
