Managing for success
The modular Alcatel-Lucent 1353 Litespan Management System (LMS) incorporates several management modules, depending on the network topology and system manage ment requirements. The capability to run network manage ment applications from any server in the system reduces the number of servers required, lowering your CAPEX. The internal communications framework makes the
Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS independent of some third-party applications, thereby reducing your software license costs. And, remote provisioning, upgrading and testing reduces truck rolls and lowers operating expenditures (OPEX).
Table 2. Key features and benefits of the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS
Feature | Description |
Narrowband and broadband applications in a single server | The Alcatel-Lucent 5523 AWS and 1353 DN applications can run on a single server, thus optimiz- |
| ing hardware investments, which are used to run the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS for managing small |
| networks. |
| |
Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS high availability | System availability is enhanced through N+1 server redundancy, which keeps the system resilient |
| by having a stand-by server take control of applications running in the faulty server. |
| |
Common integrated desktop in Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS | Operators can run any network management application from any server in the system. This reduces |
| the number of servers required to run all applications for the Alcatel-Lucent LMS. The net result is |
| reduced investment in hardware. |
| |
Logical inventory | Using the logical inventory, operators can query specific access nodes about the type of subscriber, |
| as well as the directory number, rack, subrack, and physical ports. |
| |
Outband and in-band interfaces for the DCN | The outband and in-band interfaces provide any kind of connectivity to the access nodes from the |
| Alcatel-Lucent LMS, by using either outband or in-band connections — the same connections that |
| are used for traffic payload. |
