Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 2500 and OmniVista 2700 Network Management System (NMS)
Document Downloads:
The OmniVista 2500 NMS application is the foundation for managing networks composed of Alcatel-Lucent and other network devices. The OmniVista 2500 (OV2500) gives administrators a unified view of the network as well as the necessary functions and services required to support next generation devices and applications. It features centralized management, bulk operations, simplicity, and scalability.
The OmniVista Network Management System consists of:
- OmniVista 2500, which is the core application for network-wide management configuration and monitoring tasks
- OmniVista 2700, which consists of supplemental applications for extended capabilities and automation of complex security settings
Benefits
- By providing centralized operations, the infrastructure is optimized and deployment is simplified. Network device discovery and topology maps provide both physical and logical views of the network. Users are able to automate operations such as CLI scripting, create VLANs across multiple devices, and provide third party device support.
- Centralized operations also optimizes troubleshooting since it is easier to monitor the health of the network using a combination of alarm information, the locator service for pinpointing user location, and the trap responder for taking quick, automated action when there is an event. Health and statistic information is also readily available.
