Provisioning
The Provisioning Management chapter of the Cisco Internet OSS for VoIP: Infrastructure Manager
(Cisco VoIP: Infrastructure Manager) Solution is the second chapter in a four chapter Cisco VoIP: Infrastructure Manager Solution document. Provisioning management, in the context of this Solution, deals with the provisioning of network elements and the management of those configuration files. This guide details the network architecture, provisioning management applications, configuration file management applications, and the deployment strategies surrounding Cisco's Configuration Management Solution.
Overview
Cisco employs a distributed model for its service provider, Voice over IP (VoIP) product suite. Although, at a certain level, each deployed device requires a unique instance of an Element Management System (EMS) to provide upstream information pertaining to fault, performance, and provisioning, it is incumbent upon the Network Management System (NMS) to appear as a virtual entity that hides the individual element complexity.
A complete NMS Solution adheres to the Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance and Security (FCAPS) model. The solution covered in this document finds its place in the Configuration portion of the FCAPS model. It is a component chapter in the Cisco VoIP: Infrastructure Manager Solution and deals specifically with configuration and provisioning management. It is intended to be referenced in conjunction with the companion chapters dealing with performance and fault management.
