NetAtlas™
Element Management System
The telecommunications industry
is changing rapidly. Data networking
and telecommunications providers
have recognized that they must
make customer service and responsiveness
to customers' needs a top priority.
This awareness stems from increased
competition to deliver the most
advanced, flexible and useful
services possible. As network
complexity increases, management
systems are becoming more and
more important to the daily operations
of service providers.
ZyXEL's NetAtlas is an Element Management System
(EMS) that supports a full suite of features
for managing ZyXEL's IP DSLAM solutions. The
EMS supports features for system management,
network configuration, performance monitoring,
fault detection, and security control. Remotely
managing thousands of DSL lines becomes simple,
efficient, and cost-effective through the point-and-click
feature of the centralized EMS Graphic User
Interface (GUI). Not only does this simplify
the complexity of network management and provisioning,
but it also shortens the time for failure recovery,
and thus increases network availability for
revenue generation.
Benefits
Better Network Management at
Lower Operating Costs
The powerful design of the NetAtlas simplifies
network management tasks. Networks and
systems can be configured, monitored and
managed easily without visits from technical
personnel. The advanced features provide
operators with better network management
and lower daily operating costs.
Network-wide Visibility
The NetAtlas offers real-time display of
devices and network topology, from which
a clear network status can be presented
to system administrators. This is very
useful when devices are scattered across
various locations. It not only saves time
but also expense, thus minimizing network
maintenance costs.
Simplified One-touch Design for Daily
Operations
There are a number of simplified functions
performed by the NetAtlas. For example,
Firmware upgrades now take just a click
of a button to accomplish, whereas previously
they took several steps. Other one-touch
functions include collection of performance
statistics and service provisioning.
Proactive Management to Achieve Better
Performance
A variety of parameters can be monitored
to keep track of the network and system.
The NetAtlas provides performance monitoring
that enables service providers to analyze
both network and system throughput as well
as error rate. The statistical data can
be displayed in a graphical format, and
consequently, better network performance
can be planned and achieved through superior
error prevention.
Shortened System Recovery Time
During daily operations, one important
task for service providers is to shorten
the time of system recovery. The NetAtlas
provides real-time panel display, loopback
tests, and alarm report schemes, so when
something goes wrong with the system, errors
can be detected easily and managed in a
timely fashion.
Event Notifications for Immediate Corrections
Service providers can specify events according
to operational requirements. For example,
the system generates traps when the temperature
is too high. Upon receiving these traps,
the NetAtlas can instantly notify operators,
and immediate action can be taken. |
