AdventNet Web NMS is a comprehensive network and systems management
platform that offers purpose-built applications and tools designed
to simplify element / network management and to build network management
software / network management services.
The network
management model / framework of AdventNet Web NMS enables complete
resources monitoring, configuration and troubleshooting of each
device, and thereby allows managing an entire network from a single
network management software. AdventNet Web NMS has a true N+ architecture
that allows multiple users to access its services simultaneously.
It delivers network level management while providing access to various
element managers.
Network Management Model / Framework Highlights
Unified management: It provides a common graphical interface
and network management infrastructure for performing management
functions, integrating applications, and unifying element management
across multiple devices.
Network-wide visibility: It enables extensive view and in-depth
reporting of network activity across the network with functions
such as discovery,
physical and logical topology,
maps,
centralized
event management, graphs, and statistical information. This
is also supported in distributed networks.
Element
management: It provides direct access to each device through
its native element manager and allows all networking devices to
be configured from a centralized location. It also supports policy-based
management across multiple device types.
Remote
Monitoring: It enables the management of large and distributed
networks. Distributed
Mediation Servers can be deployed to capture network statistics
locally. These intelligent servers pass on correlated network
information to the central server.
Scalable
architecture: It provides single-user and multi-user versions
and an extensible network management model / framework with applications
that allow the network management environment to be tailored to
the user’s network and budget needs. It supports management
of very large networks with capability to distribute network facing
functionalities across servers, while also making optimum utilization
of features like replicated
databases supported by MySQL and Oracle databases.
Factors that have made AdventNet Web NMS a solid foundation to
build on are,
