MPLS and Metro Ethernet Network Management (M2NM)
MPLS and Metro Ethernet Network Management products is a family of intelligent network management applications that help reduce overall administration and management costs by providing automated resource management and rapid profile-based planning and provisioning capabilities that accelerate deployment of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Metro Ethernet technologies. M2NM helps reduce operational costs by providing automated workflow-based troubleshooting and diagnostic capabilities for MPLS VPNs. The applications can operate as standalone applications or as a suite; functions include provisioning and automated diagnostics for MPLS VPNs; ATM, Frame Relay, and Ethernet over MPLS VPNs; ATM and Frame Relay transport over Metro Ethernet VPNs; and planning and configuration of MPLS Traffic Engineering.
MPLS and Metro Ethernet Network Management collection of products delivers complete lifecycle management, from creating the IP service to real-time VPN and MPLS Traffic Engineering tunnel provisioning, activation, troubleshooting, and diagnostics and provides the provisioning, planning, and automatic diagnostics tools that accelerate deployment and time to market of IP services.
Network CMDB & Compliance Management
We partner with Alterpoint for the Network CMDB and Compliance Management collection of products. Namely it includes Network CMDB and Compliance Management Components.
NetworkAuthority CMDB, the foundation of the solution, is built on an open network model that stores a consistent, comprehensive inventory of all network assets, configurations, and changes in a vendor-independent database. NetworkAuthority CMDB employs the only open, extensible, standards-based and community-governed resource model in the industry. This open network model enables the capture, management and storage of more than 1,500 device attributes for each device in a vendor-independent database. The captured data is normalized so that every attribute can be utilized for reporting, automation, policy analysis and network planning.
NetworkAuthority Analytics, provides answers to questions relating to the complex relationships that exist in the network, to facilitate capacity planning, impact analysis, financial based analytics and troubleshooting. NetworkAuthority Analytics includes specialized portals for network security, compliance and asset lifecycle management.
Compliance Portal ensures that the network is in a continual state of audit-readiness, reducing risk by identifying negative trends and highlighting and remediating policy violations in real-time.
Security Portal, organizations can rapidly detect and remediate complex and diverse security threats to protect mission-critical network infrastructure without limiting operational performance.
Lifecycle Portal enables complete management of network equipment by tracking objects in the network as they move through the complete lifecycle. Advanced analytics are then performed on the lifecycle data to support informed decisions that optimize spend on network equipment and maintenance.
VoIP Quality and Performance Management (VQM)
VoIP Quality and Performance Management (VQM) is a modular software application that supports each phase of the VoIP service lifecycle, from network pre-qualification, to initial service turn-up, troubleshooting, and ongoing operational monitoring. With VQM implemented throughout the service lifecycle, providers can proactively evaluate end-to-end quality of service (QoS) and their subscribers' quality of experience (QoE) to ensure success.
Integrating a combination of active (on-demand) testing and passive (live) call monitoring, VQM provides continuous service and network visibility to effectively support every stage of the VoIP service lifecycle
IP Video Quality and Performance Management (IPVQM)
IP Video Quality and Performance Management (IPVQM) are products for an IPTV portfolio that offers complete visibility into the performance and quality of the service delivery infrastructure, video content, and overall subscriber experience. IPVQM, providers can successfully introduce video services faster and manage them more cost-effectively, by continually assuring the highest service quality.
Throughout network qualification, initial service trials, service installations, and ongoing operational monitoring, IPVQM supports the complete service deployment lifecycle by combining active (on-demand) testing and passive (live) service monitoring to proactively manage subscribers' overall quality of experience (QoE).
