the reputation and revenue of a service provider. NetBoss XT
delivers service assurance for uninterrupted network
performance. It does this by providing superior situational
awareness capability, serving as the cornerstone of your plan to
preempt, act on and resolve network issues.
Your success depends on using the right solution for managing
and monitoring network resources. NetBoss XT is the right
solution for ensuring your vital network services and optimizing
ROI.
MANAGER OF MANAGERS SERVICE ASSURANCE
SOLUTION
For large-scale management architectures, NetBoss Manager
of Managers offers multi-technology, multi-vendor service
assurance. Scalable over a range of event and device volumes,
it enables network management at abstracted levels of detail.
Supporting high-volume event processing with advanced,
flexible filtering and correlation, NetBoss enables operators to
find and focus on network issues. This happens without
examining thousands of low-level events to determine root
causes and isolate trouble spots.
ALARM AND EVENT COLLECTION FOR
GEOGRAPHICALLY BROAD NETWORKS
Centrally managing a large, geographically dispersed network
is a challenge: operators can be overwhelmed by high volumes
of alarms and events. NetBoss summarizes, aggregates and
prioritizes events, significantly reducing volume of alarms and
events, expediting important ones. This ensures smooth,
efficient operation, simplifying and lowering cost of data
communications. Operators can configure summary and
aggregation functions per alarm and event management
policies, providing additional operational flexibility.
MULTI-TECHNOLOGY, MULTI-VENDOR
MANAGEMENT
For mid-range management architectures, NetBoss domain
manager offers multi-technology, multi-vendor service
assurance. It is scalable over a range of event and device
volumes. With both high-volume event processing and
advanced, flexible filtering, configure NetBoss to show only
events you need to see, rather than flooding you with low-
priority events. With NetBoss efficient filtering, operators can
find, focus on and correct network problems faster, reducing
troubleshooting, repair times and outages.

NetBoss XT solutions span all horizontal applications of the Service Assurance vertical
as defined in the TM Forums Operations area of the Business Process Framework,
also known as eTOMenhanced Telecom Operations Mapping.

SATISFY HIGH COMPLEXITY MANAGEMENT
ARCHITECTURE NEEDS WITH NETBOSS XT
Even for large, complex networks, NetBoss XT can manage
their infrastructure with the most complete and versatile
architectural building blocks for management systems. The
value is considerable: cost and capacity are scaled to your
network, compared to settling on a generic product.
NETBOSS XT INCREASES ROI, LOWERS OPEX
The latest technologies and open industry standards are at
the heart of NetBoss XTs advantage. They deliver improved
ROI and OPEX, while adding valuable interface and platform
flexibility. These advantages ensure that your NetBoss XT
management solution will serve future and current needs.
DMTF COMMON INFORMATION MODEL
The Distributed Management Task Forces (DMTF) Common
Information Model (CIM) is the standard for NetBoss XTs
presentation of management information. CIM is a
significant differentiator that simplifies and reduces cost of
interfacing to CIM-compliant solutions. Aviats User
Information Model refines and complements CIM, reduces
complexity and enables presentation of only needed data.
JAVA TECHNOLOGIES
NetBoss XT is completely Java-based. Among the most
important of the NetBoss XT Java technologies are Java
Management Extensions (JMX), Java Authentication and
Authorization Service (JAAS), Hibernate (object persistency),
Java Swing GUI widgets and the Jview Telecom Graphics
Objects (JTGO) interface. These advanced Java technologies
deliver multiple benefits, including modularity, platform
independence, ease of integration and use and consistent
easy-to-learn GUIs, lowering operational and training costs.
TMF STANDARD INTERFACES
The TM Forum (TMF) defines standard interfaces such as
MTOSI (Multi-Technology Operations System Interface) and
OSS/J (Operations Support System through Java) that are
critical to and flexible for connecting a multitude of support
systems. Using these standards reduces development cost
and risk and accelerates integration and service
deployment.
MULTI-PROTOCOL INTERFACE SUPPORT
NetBoss XT also supports multiple open standards-based
management interface protocols, including SNMP, XML over
HTTP, CORBA and TL1. Its published APIs also facilitate
easy integration with third-party applications.
