Movaz Networks offers service providers a portfolio of products
that facilitates a unified metro-optical network. These products
(RAYstar, RAYexpress, RAYextender) seamlessly
combine advanced technologies in high capacity optical transport,
electrical & photonic switching, as well as dynamic wavelength
management.
A rich set of OAM&P (Operations, Administration,Maintenance
and Provisioning) functionality is essential to harness the
benefits of such innovations. Sophisticated fault management
with root cause analysis, advanced provisioning, performance
monitoring, security with multi-level access control, simple
point-and-click GUI and encryption are some of the key ingredients
of the Movaz element and network management solution - the
RAYtracer.
"This feature-rich EMS/NMS platform had to be developed
inmonths with a small team"- Hanif Merali, Architect
WebNMS's Offering
WebNMS Framework has been architected to address the above
needs. With comprehensive FCAPS support with customizability
supported at every level, it facilitates rapid implementation
of EMS and NMS layer functions. Features like auto discovery
to detect nodes, circuits and topology, inventory management,
root cause analysis, advanced provisioning and performance
monitoring are supported out-of-the-box. These functions can
be implemented once and extended to other products with ease.
"Its hard to justify the cost and risk of architecting and building a management solution from the ground up. The widely-used AdventNet Web NMS makes it possible to maintain full control of a solution using new high-productivity technologies, while avoiding large NMS teams and high execution risk." - said AdventNet CTO, Dr. Tony Thomas.
Delivering RAYtracer
With a team size of 6 developers and a development cycle
of less than 12 months, successfully delivering the RAYtracer
was an ambitious goal. Movaz' objective was to not reinvent
the wheel and to leverage heavily on the rich out-of-the-box
functionality offered by WebNMS Framework. In addition, the
team wanted to capitalize on the rapid customization capabilities
to minimize custom development work.
The following out-of-the-box functions offered by WebNMS Framework were instrumental in the RAYtracer implementation-
Discovery and polling for discovery and configuration
of optical elements using SNMP
Topology and auto discovery of NEs and connectivity
Mapping feature to display topologies, chassis views and
complex grouping mechanisms with real-time fault views
Provisioning of circuit packs and ports with real-time
views of cards and ports
Alarm and event management with correlation and root cause
PM for collecting optical, SONET, G.709, and RMON PMs
from devices
Point and click service provisioning of optical services
Software management to facilitate easy migration

WebNMS's Commitment to Support Excellence
Support excellence has been one of WebNMS Framework's core competencies.
WebNMS Framework has made a substantial investment on this front
to ensure the success of customer projects. WebNMS Framework provided
Movaz strong support during their development, ensuring rapid
resolution of support issues as they arose. "AdventNet's excellent support and responsiveness was a critical factor in the success of Movaz EMS development," said Hanif Merali, Architect.
