Network management
Operators need to focus on the service, rather than the technology, where it is used, how the network scales and how complex it is. By migrating from a technology-based network management model to a service-oriented one, the complexity of managing services is greatly reduced. Alcatel- Lucent offers two management platforms for operators, depending on their network requirements and planned evolution: the Alcatel-Lucent 1350 Open Media Suite (OMS) and the Alcatel-Lucent 1340 Integrated Network Controller (INC).
The 1350 OMS management suite eliminates the need to deploy multitechnology element and network management systems, reducing CAPEX and OPEX. It offers a highly modular architecture to properly match operator requirements. It also:
•Simplifies presentation of a multitechnology network to the user
•Delivers future-safe, scalable platform that can be extended as the network and its services grow
•Offers single point-of-alarm collection, with all network management information available on a single platform with a single login procedure
The 1340 INC is a leading-edge,single-platform network management system for both Alcatel-Lucent transport networks and multivendor environments. Capable of supporting next-generation and legacy equipment, the 1340 INC makes the transport network transparent to operators through a simplified view from a single Graphical User Interface (GUI). It also:
•Provides end-to-end circuit, fault and performance management
•Extensively reports data, including card inventory, usage, utilization and historical reports
•Simplifies operations with a single GUI for SONET, Ethernet, MSPP, ATM/Frame Relay, data circuit synchronous (DCS) and optical devices
