The SI3000 FMS represents the framework for the realization of the supervision of definite third-party products situated in an arbitrary network.
Using associated Fault-Access Modules (FAMs) it provides complete fault-management functionality for these products - hierarchical presentation of the configuration and status of the network down to the particular network elements and alarm handling.
It has supported its SNMP integration with a possible higher-level umbrella-management Fault-Management OSS platform.
Outstanding SI3000 FMS functionality
Besides its own extended system and applications management the functionalities of the SI3000 FMS are:
- Supervision, which is realized as a set of hierarchically structured views of the managed network with the presented status of all the managed entities.
- Alarm handling, which provides mechanisms for a well-coordinated alarms clearance in a multi-user service environment.
- Alarm history, which provides the means for an offline analysis of the network’s behavior.
SI3000 FMS benefits
The main benefits of the SI3000 FMS are:
- A multi-user working environment
- A standardized connectivity with higher-level fault-management systems
- A modular and open multi-tier application-software architecture
- Wide scalability
- High reliability and availability
A smart and comprehensive management product
The SI3000 FMS provides the required functionality of central monitoring in a particular network, which gives operators the powerful, cost-effective supervision of thousands of network elements. With its appropriate SNMP northbound interface it can be integrated with a possible higher-level Fault-Management OSS.
Wide scalability, high reliability and high availability
The SI3000 FMS is able to cost-effectively comply with any requirements for fault monitoring in a particular network. The architecture of the SI3000 FMS application software ensures its adaptability to be installed on a single-server platform as well as to be installed, distributed over a Rack or Blade multi-server compounded platform. To comply with high-availability requirements, the SI3000 FMS can operate on one or more stand-alone pairs of servers, configured as two-node clusters, running in the “Active/Standby” regime. In such a compounded, highly available server configuration the management data are highly available, stored externally on a storage device situated in the Storage Area Network (SAN).
