Alcatel OmniVista and OneTouch manageability

OmniVista, the Alcatel voice and data network management platform, is a comprehensive set of network management applications and tools that simplify the management of Alcatel networking devices. OmniVista allows managers to monitor network activity, configure and troubleshoot each device, as well as manage an entire network from a single platform. It offers unified management, network-wide visibility, element management, VLAN management, policy-based QoS, centralized management of secure switch access, quarantine capabilities to prevent security breaches by isolating potential threats – all within a scalable architecture.

OmniVista features OneTouch manageability enabling network managers to quickly configure and manage the switches in their network. For example, OneTouch QoS, a feature of the Alcatel policy management software, allows network managers to quickly assign QoS priorities to network traffic based on the characteristics of different applications. With “one-click,” every Alcatel switch in the network is automatically configured.

Alcatel’s OmniVista Quarantine Manager proactively and defensively identifies and isolates viruses and network attacks before they wreak havoc on the network and automates the response for a self-healing network.
