Which performance system is for what?
Consider the following example: a telecom provider has a FTTH network managed by its own vendor-specific (e.g., Huawei 2000) element management system (EMS), DWDM with its own EMS (e.g., Ericsson SOME), and its core network monitored with generic PM. All three systems work independently from each other as they belong to three different units within your organization.
Troubleshooting in such a setup means you have to inspect different data in different systems, and perhaps even overcome organizational boundaries. You have to use a lot of imagination and effort to figure out what’s wrong.
Absence of a unified approach simply makes daily operations difficult and has a negative impact on your network’s overall quality.
Efficient network operations require unified performance management
The UMBOSS Performance Management (PM) module is designed to consolidate performance data originating from multiple collectors: SNMP, non-SNMP and EMSs. It provides unified insight into the overall performance of your network across different domains. The schematic below describes this umbrella concept within a performance management landscape.
