Selecting the Right Telecom Network Management System
Make sure these essential functions are included in any telecom network management system that you consider:
- Alarm sorting and analysis: Make sense of alarm cascades with automatic intelligent alarm sorting, filtering, processing, and trend analysis.
- Alarm presentation and notification: Send detailed alarm descriptions and correction instructions to NOC and field techs via pager notifications and web interfaces.
- Alarm collection and device management: Don't
settle for limited alarm monitoring systems. Get multiprotocol
support for every monitoring device in your network, plus discrete
alarms, analog alarms, ping alarms, and redundant path reporting.
