AdventNet Offers Comprehensive Support for Management of
TL1 Devices
Pleasanton, CA, May 31, 2001 - AdventNet, Inc., the
worldwide leader in providing Java-based management solutions
to the telecommunications and networking industries, today
announced the most comprehensive suite of products that support
the TL1 (Transaction Language 1) protocol. This includes full
support for TL1 in AdventNet's flagship Web NMS management
framework, and support for TL1 in the multi-protocol Agent
Toolkit for Java/JMX and embedded agents.
TL1 is a man-machine management protocol deployed in broadband
and access networks, including SONET networks. New technologies
such as WDM and xDSL often use the TL1 protocol for management
of network equipment. The Web NMS is an open, modular framework
with massive scalability. It also provides support for development
and deployment on standard J2EE Application Servers.
"We are pleased to provide the most comprehensive support
for the TL1 protocol. This is another indication of our intense
commitment to meet the needs of our customers. TL1 support
is a valuable addition to our multi-protocol product suite,"
said Dr. Sridhar Vembu, CEO of AdventNet.
The AdventNet Web NMS provides open TL1 APIs and Java bean
components, a TL1 web-based craft interface on the client
side, and a northbound OSS TL1 interface on the server. It
provides full support for TL1 devices in the FCAPS and service
management applications, including fault management, configuration
management,service provisioning, performance management, reporting,
and security management.
A distinguishing feature of the Web NMS architecture is its
openness. With the open APIs provided for TL1, rapid and easy
customization can be achieved. The Web NMS also provides the
ability to interoperate with multiple devices, including non-TL1
devices. In addition, it provides native support for various
protocols such as SNMP, CLI/Telnet, CORBA and XML. These features
offer unparalleled flexibility in development and deployment.
"I am delighted that our developer-friendly, massively-scalable
and open Web NMS platform has been further enhanced with this
vital ability to manage multi-vendor TL1 equipment,"
said Vembu.
In addition to fully supporting TL1 in its Web NMS platform,
AdventNet also provides TL1 support in a range of products,
including AdventNet Agent Toolkit (which facilitates best-in-class
agent development) and AdventNet Management Builder, a Rapid
Application Development (RAD) tool for building custom extensions.
The Agent Toolkit is provided in Java as well as C Editions.
A standalone TL1 library is also available.
