As the size, complexity and the heterogeneity of the networks increase, network administrators place a high demand that these networks be centrally managed. For each node in the network, there are many different elements that need to be discovered, monitored and managed by a Network Management System. For a NMS to manage a individual network element or a set of network elements, the network elements first need to be represented or modeled as an object which can be stored in the database and you need services to perform the management operations.
The AdventNet Web NMS Topology Service provides ways to model the Networks and Network Elements and other flexible features, as part of effectively solving the Network Management problem. It allows for the Networks, NEs and even components within the NEs to be modeled as objects, called the ManagedObjects, and makes it possible to manage the objects individually or as a group of related objects. The capabilities of this module are easily customizable and extensible and that ensures minimum effort to develop specific applications on top of the AdventNet Web NMS framework.
