Equipment Manager

Passive network resources inventory: from telecommunication racks and distribution frames to optical sockets and weldings. Highly adjustable patterns of fiber optic cables, joints and distribution frames, their interactive connection, as well as creating lay-out schemes, enable locating the whole cabling infrastructure on a diagram in the shortest possible time, making changes easily, and making sustainable plans for fiber capacity utilization.

Features:

• Accounting and visualization of FOCL cable network elements, drilling down to single fiber and port
• Keeping condition records for each cable element against its operation-critical parameters
• Graphical representation of cable network topology and its elements on basic schematic diagrams, graphic backgrounds and GIS maps
• Enabling project works and issuing time-bound technical conditions for channel connection in manual and automatic mode
• Automatic generation and printing the network condition and planned switching reports, , and related statistics
• Graphical representation of external plants network structure (objects and connections between them) on the created GIS layers
• Provision of (printing ready) welding map in the format as close as possible to the one used by customer

Provides a toolkit to collect, store, update and visualize configuration data of a convergent network infrastructure.

Features:

• Collecting network devices configuration data in automatic and manual mode
• Storing history of configuration changes for every managed device
• Visualization of configuration changes
• Initial and executable configurations comparison
• Configurations compliance control in accordance with the defined policies
• Equipment configuration file generation
• Uploading of the selected configuration file onto device upon operator's request
• Launching network device configuration change tasks in automatic or manual mode
• Displaying a list of devices with successfully and unsuccessfully completed tasks
• Using additionally developed scenarios for collecting and distributing network equipment configuration files, in case they are not supported in management tools by default
• Support of the equipment from various vendors: Cisco, Juniper, D-Link, Zyxel, Hauwei, AddPac, Revolution, Microtic, Ubiquiti, Audiocodes

Provides wide functionality for building and managing corporate business processes and documents. Allows to create a single information system for customer service within telecommunications enterprise.

Features:

• Configuration and creation of various types of electronic documents, their states and routes
• Document state transitions
• Setting up different levels of document approval flow
• Flexible notification system
• Document life cycle supervision
• Possibility to setup interaction with other modules of the system

Provides efficient management of localization and troubleshooting process Comprehensive and timely troubleshooting with: collection, classification and storing of data on each incident, events correlation, root-cause analysis.

Features:

• Monitoring active equipment state with flexible configured monitoring settings via any open data access protocol (SNMP, SysLog, Telnet, ICMP, text, etc.)
• Flexible configuration of event processing within the system
• Viewing equipment state on the network diagram
• Logging and analysis of active equipment events
• Ad hoc notifications about network events to employees in accordance with their areas of responsibility
• Long-term events storing allowing to operate nearly unlimited volumes of monitoring data

Provides possibility of equipment polling to check parameter values and collect statistics. Generates events upon reaching threshold value of the controlled parameter.

Features:

• Performance: up to hundreds of thousands (for asynchronous model) parameters (SNMP, ICMP, TELNET, SSH, etc.) simultaneously polled from one server using synchronous and asynchronous polling models with their further processing
• Distribution of polling load across servers in case of multiple polling parameters
• Creation of complex polling scenarios

Registers services provided to customers.

Features:

• Adding equipment (device, port, distribution frame, cable, fiber) to the service specifying its duration
• Inventory of contractors database, contracts and services
• Setup of connection with "Active equipment monitoring" module objects to get the detailed data on customer affected by network failure
• Setup of interaction with "Logical resources inventory" module to identify service attribution to IP-address or phone number
• Integration with billing system

Allows to store and register data on the company tangible assets. When integrated with the "Network inventory" module, it enables automatic addition of equipment in the inventory module.

Features:

• Warehouse equipment inventory
• Matching of inventory list with objects inventory model
• Registering equipment category, name, internal code, vendor code, etc.
• Storing data on suppliers, vendors, accounting documents (bills, way-bills, invoices), equipment warranty terms
• Registering equipment relocations between warehouses (entries, combined entries - transactions)
• Equipment redundancy
• Reporting
• History of relocations (entries) from perspective of device, active device, distribution frame, cable
• Setup of connection with "Document flow" module to create operation documents (requirements, way-bills, invoices, inventory lists, etc.)

Provides execution of management scenarios on the system server side (managed APM) substituting routine manual actions previously performed by personnel. Management functions are implemented in internal system language. They are developed on demand during system implementation or operations.

Features:

• Self-service creation of management scenarios
• External applications access management via central server of the system
• External applications call in APM
• Managing objects from system server using protocol adapters
• Integrated language for management scenarios development
• Long-term storing of management scenarios output
• Event-driven control actions
• Control actions on operating system based on defined scenario
• Separation of access to equipment management. Personnel may not know the real access protocol and may not have a personal account for its specific instance
• Service parameters management
• Service activation/deactivation
• Ability to "overtake" interfaces (integrated language)

Allows to discover, plan and manage network resources.

• Inventory of network addresses and phone numbers
• Extraction and combination of network addresses
• Inventory of network addresses in various network segments
• Inventory of public addresses
• Assigning arbitrary set of parameters to resources
• Automatic network polling over SNMP and resource creation
• Inventory of ports and VLAN equipment with designated address
• Resource usage in "Network inventory control" and "Services" modules
• Resource list import and export
• Accounting of occupied and free resources based on statuses system
