Carrier-Class Network Management System• Integrated network management system, including service management (SM) andperformance monitoring (PM)• Wizard-based end-to-end E-Line service design, provisioning, testing and monitoring• Highly scalable solution for growing networks, with smart configuration andprovisioning tools for easy network expansion• Fully featured performance monitoring system enabling SLA assurance for both
service providers and their end customers

RADview NMS can manage advanced
networks. It includes the following
optional modules:•Service Manager (SM) – End-to-end
intuitive, error-free and easy service
management over Ethernet•Service Center (SC) – Service
management for AXCESS+ products
over Ethernet, PDH and SDH/SONETnetworks•Performance Monitor (PM) – Service
SLA assurance (OAM and throughput)for services provided by carriers.

Built on FCAPS (Fault, Configuration,Administration, Performance and Security)
principles, RADview features an intuitivegraphical user interface for discovery,
topology, management and monitoring of
the network elements. In addition,
RADview includes the following utilities:•••

Inventory and resource management,for displaying devices, ports and logicalresources
Jobs, for performing a variety of tasks
on a large number of devices from one
central location
Zero Touch, for automaticallydiscovering and configuring a large
number of devices•

Fault management, displaying current
and history alarm records andforwarding to upper OSS systems.

Service Manager. The Service Manager
module is designed to minimize the effortof setting up a multi-service Carrier
Ethernet network. RADview-Service
Manager enables easy wizard-based E-Line
Ethernet service creation, testing(Y.1564), monitoring and SLA assurance
for networks based on the RAD
EtherAccess product family.
RADview-Service Manager allows users toquickly set up E-Line services using theunique RADview template (catalog)
concept, which only requires entering afew service-specific parameters duringservice creation.
Note: Service Manager supports ETX-1, ETX-2,ETX-5 at present.

Service Center. As part of the Service
Manager module, RADview-Service Center
extends Service Manager capabilities to
the AXCESS+ product family and to PDH
and SDH/SONET networks for providing
TDM-based services in addition to E-Line
Ethernet services.
Note: Service Center supports Megaplex-2100 andMegaplex-4 with ASMi-52/53/54 and OP-108, as
well as the FCD family.

TECHNOLOGY

Figure 3. RADview Service Manager

Performance Monitor. The PerformanceMonitor is an SLA assurance system,enabling long term monitoring of Ethernet
service performance by collecting,analyzing and presenting KPI (keyperformance indicators) data from RADdevices. Service providers use the system
to prove the SLA and monitor traffic ofcustomers who utilize their service, andpropose bandwidth upgrades.
Measured metrics are based on
ITU-T Y.1731. These metrics include Frame
Delay, Delay Variation, Frame Loss, andAvailability. Latency and jitter results are
based on round-trip measurements. Thisdata allows service providers to easily
evaluate actual performance over timeand compare it to their committed SLA
agreements.
The Performance Monitor calculates theutilization based on configured CIR and EIRvalues.

RADview is a Java-based, carrier-classnetwork management system for
deployment in Windows, Linux and Unix
environments. The system features anembedded Oracle database and open
standard interfaces for integration withOSS and BSS systems. It manages both
Ethernet Access and AXCESS+ portfolios
and provides third-party device monitoring
to assure network reliability.
RADview conforms to the ITU-T
Telecommunication Management Network(TMN) model with end-to-end visibility andstandard-based interoperability. The
system is scalable, providing solutions forsmall installations as well as growing
networks.
RESILIENCY

Zero-Touch Provisioning
RADview offers the Zero-Touch utility for
automatic discovery of network elements
and performing the tasks listed below
according to user-defined rules:•Uploading initial software andconfigurations•Executing CLI scripts•

Handling the replacement of units incase of failure.

Secure Access
Advanced Secure Access functions include
tracking of user activities in the networkand designating complex security a ccessrights up to the parameter level. An
unlimited number of security profiles andgroups can be created, using the security
management console.
Secure communication link is established,using the following protocols:

RADview provides the following scalable
solutions for disaster recovery to assurehigh system availability:•SSH (secure shell)•SNMPv3.

•ARCHITECTURE•

In addition, it immediately detects service
degradation, so that action can be taken
to quickly restore committed performancelevels at the end customer.

MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY

Cold standby – This solution is themost simple and cost-effective. Data isperiodically backed up by the active
station via the RADview
Backup/Restore utility without
affecting service.
High Availability – This solution
provides local data protection with twoservers as clusters sharing external
storage. In case of a software or
hardware failure, the system
immediately switches to the backup
server.
Disaster Recovery wide-area clustering– This solution provides geo dataprotection with two servers in two
separate locations in replication mode.
In case of an operating outage at theprimary site, all services can be moved
to the backup site by a semi-automatic
switchover. This solution is mainly
used by customers wishing to backup
their data to a remote site.

RADview is based on distributed clientserver architecture, which optimizes theuse of network resources.
As a modular management system,
RADview is equipped with a number ofstandard northbound interfaces for easy
integration with OSS and umbrellasystems.
In addition to featuring a plug-in forconnecting to IBM Tivoli’s
Netcool®/OMNIbus™ fault management
program, the system allows seamless
communication with network-wide
platforms for inventory (resource)
management, performance monitoring,and service provisioning, as well as withcarriers’ proprietary OSS.
Supporting various APIs, such as CORBA,
MTOSI and SNMP, RADview smoothlyinteracts with higher management levelsto communicate essential network
information to service, operations andbusiness management functions.

Data Sheet

By serving as a mediation layer between
the various network elements (NEs) andthe umbrella system, RADview minimizes
the integration costs associated with newNE additions.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
New software, configurations and licenses
can be distributed and uploaded todevices across the network. The system
tracks version changes and keeps asoftware configuration history for backup
and recovery. Easy management andprovisioning is provided by a user-friendly
point-and-click GUI (shelf-view).
The system manages individual and groupuser accounts and passwords, generating
network usage reports to monitor useractivities.
MONITORING AND DIAGNOSTICS
RADview supports advanced fault
detection, displaying a clear analysis of
the probable causes of faults andsuggested corrective measures. It allows
the distribution of alarm messages toother managers in the network. Inaddition, users can configure sounds for
specific alarms/events when triggered.
