AdventNet Web NMS 4 RME is a scalable and secure, remote
management platform that facilitates remote management of
critical network resources spread across geographies. Leveraging
this framework, equipment vendors and service providers can
develop management applications for element management, network
management or remote operations management.
Key components in AdventNet Web NMS RME are the central server
and the distributed mediation servers (DMS). While the central
server is installed at the main site, the distributed mediation
servers are installed at multiple remote locations. The distributed
mediation servers perform network-facing functions, such as
discovery, status polling, trap reception, performance data
collection, etc at the remote site, and pass on the critical
data to the central server. Operators at the central site
have segmented view of the network based on privileges and
access control, enabling management of each remote location
seamlessly.
RME Features
Global view: AdventNet Web NMS RME offers a global view
of the managed networks that span across geographies. The
view can also be segmented location-wise.
Intelligent Distributed Architecture: AdventNet Web NMS
RME is designed around a twin layer architecture that distributes
intelligence and network facing functionality across locations.
Support for Multiple IP Addresses: Recognizes and manages
devices assigned the same IP address across locations.
Flexible Communication: With a low bandwidth requirement
across sites, the system can be configured for various connectivity
options including a non-dedicated dial-up.
Communication Across Secure Networks: Can manage devices
and equipments across firewalls and NAT-enabled networks.
Auto-Discovery and Configuration: Discovered devices can
be automatically configured with the supplied values when
they are discovered for the first time.
Rule-based event correlation: Rule engine for creating
correlation logic at multiple levels ensure that event-storms
are minimized and alarm counts are diminished.
Priority-based data transfer: Based on the priority, data
transfer between distributed mediation servers and the central
server can be either periodic or immediate.
Local database for DMS: Every distributed mediation server
(DMS) has a local database to prevent data loss, even when
the central server and/or the distributed mediation server
shuts down and restarts.
BE Failover Support : Supports reliable back-end server
failover to ensure high availability.
Non-IP device management: Business critical non-IP devices
can also be managed.
SSL Support: Data transfer between mediation servers and
the central server is through a secure transport mechanism
implementing SSL.
SOAP Communication : Supports SOAP over HTTP communication
between the DMS and the Central Server by applying the SOAP
Add-on over the servers.
JMS Communication : Supports JMS Communication between the
DMS and the Central Server by applying the JMS Add-on over
the Servers.
Read-only Client: Supports a thin read-only webclient for
the Distributed Mediation Server.
Application Management: Option for monitoring the health
and performance of various applications. Pluggable framework
for managing any application.
Software Image Downloads: Provides a powerful facility
to orchestrate the organized download of software images.
HostResource Monitoring : Monitors disk space, memory,
sysload, CPU, interface, and node. Includes process monitoring
and syslog monitoring. Supports these for Linux, Windows
and Solaris.
Automated Actions: Rule-based actions triggered by occurrence
of event or alarm.
Integrated Reporting: Reporting engine integrated with option
to integrate third party reporting tools.
Comprehensive Protocol Support: Supports a comprehensive
set of protocols on the southbound. Protocols supported
include SNMP, TL1, CORBA and CLI. On the northbound it supports
TL1 and CORBA for integration with existing and legacy applications.
RME Benefits
Remote management of network resources: Service providers
can remotely manage their customers’
networks, which are geographically separated. OEMs can remotely
manage their devices, which are deployed across many customers
worldwide.
Management from a single console:Centralized management
from a single console eliminates the need for network specialists
at customer locations.
Low maintenance cost: As the resources and its operations
are centrally monitored, the fault conditions are proactively
identified and rectified.
Zero downtime: As the system supports server fail-over
with a rugged communication framework, it offers high availability
and reliability ensuring zero downtime.
