AdventNet's Remote
Management Edition, enables remote monitoring of geographically
distributed network resources. The solution helps equipment vendors
deliver value that goes beyond supplying equipment to their customers.
Post deployment, equipment vendors can offer services to monitor
and manage devices for their customers. Equipment vendors can offer
these services remotely from a central site, allowing it to be scaled
easily as their customer base grows.
The solution offers the following benefits:
It enables a service delivery platform for equipment vendors.
It helps in optimization of operational costs.
It provides vendors increased visibility into the usage of
the devices by their customers, which can be used in developing
and improving the future versions of the device.
AdventNet Web NMS RME,
offers a secure, highly available, scalable, resilient and customizable
service delivery platform which can be used for a wide range of
equipments. The deployment involves installation of a central server
at the network operations center with remote distributed mediation
servers (DMS) installed at each customer location. The DMS collects
status of devices in its location and communicates it to the central
server. Operators and service personnel can access this information
at the central site or be informed by an e-mail or a message on
a mobile device.
Some of the key features of AdventNet Web NMS RME are:
Intelligent Distributed Architecture: AdventNet Web NMS
RME is designed around a twin layer architecture that distributes
intelligence and network facing functionalities across locations.
With a local database and option to transmit data periodically
and on demand, it efficiently uses a local archive of the performance
and fault values. In case of link failures it also buffers the
data and transmits it when the link is restored or available.
Support for multiple IP addresses: Critical when managing
resources across multiple enterprises, AdventNet Web NMS RME supports
management of devices with the same IP address in two different
enterprises.
Communication Flexibility: AdventNet Web NMS RME supports
remote monitoring and management with a flexible remote to center
communication. The Distributed Mediation Server can connect to
the central server either through a dedicated connection or through
an on-demand dial-up connection. This ensures a cost-effective
deployment across hundreds of locations with low resource requirements.
The communication can either be one
way, that is DMS to the central server, or two
way, both the servers communicating with each other.
Communication Across Secure Networks: Factoring in the
network security deployments across enterprises, the solution
can manage devices and equipments across firewalls and NAT-enabled
networks. This is implemented in a secure manner to ensure that
the security of the enterprise is maintained at the initial level.
Integrated Multi-Tier Security: The system uses SSL based
secure communication channel across the central and the remote
site to ensure communication security.
Data segmentation: The solution offers customer-wise
view of network information to allow operators to quickly get
an overview of the status for each customer. The customer-wise
view is available for all inventory fault and performance data.
Comprehensive
Management: The system offers complete fault, configuration,
performance and security management of devices and applications
(optional) to enable vendors have enhanced visibility of the customer
deployments. With interfaces to integrate with trouble-ticketing
system, AdventNet Web NMS RME can be deployed as the basic engine
powering a workflow system with network related information.
Integrated reporting: The system comes integrated with
a comprehensive reporting engine for generating reports related
to different performance parameters. Additionally, the system
can be integrated with other third party reporting tools.
