Real World Northbound Management Solutions
A Network Manager, sitting in a remote location would like to review the performance of his/her distributed network and would like to have the performance data at a central place gathered from various NMS, independent of communication protocols involved. AdventNet Web NMS provides an easy solution to all such requirements.
The major requirements for Network Management Systems are to interact with each other and be managed by another higher level manager. In any typical distributed application, various Network Management Systems will interact with one another and exchange data related to Faults, Configuration and Performance using CORBA, RMI, HTTP, SNMP for communicating with one another. An OSS, which may manage these NMSs, would like to take quick decisions and reconfigure networks if and when faults occur, to maintain high availability of the network resources.
