Alcatel-Lucent 1350 OMS Optical Management System

Unified optics management to accelerate ROI and improve OPEX

Alcatel-Lucent 1350 OMS Optical Management System2

The Alcatel-Lucent 1350 Optical Management

System (OMS) centralizes multiple network-manage-

ment functions in one unified management system

for the entire Alcatel-Lucent Optics portfolio. With

a component-based architecture, it easily scales to

meet network growth and development, offering

a single system with single integration points for

multiple optical-network technologies and reduc-

ing OPEX. This multi-technology platform, with

extensive and proven Operations Support System

(OSS) integration, supports traditional, circuit-based

networks while enabling a seamless evolution to

an Alcatel-Lucent Optics, packet-based network.

Accelerate ROI and improve OPEX by providing a

fast track to network transformation.

The network transformation challenge New packet-based services and appli-cations are forcing service providers to transform their optical networks while simultaneously supporting and evolving existing services and busi-ness models. The need to accelerate time-to-service must be balanced against requirements for reducing both operating expenditure (OPEX) and total cost of ownership (TCO). Centralizing provisioning and as-surance offers reduced OPEX and TCO, while rapid integration of new technologies accelerates return on investment (ROI).

Any network transformation needs to support residential broadband, managed business networks, industry and public sector services, leased line and mobile backhaul. It must support both traditional and next-generation technologies and multiple gen-erations of both network and OSS technology. The system must manage networks ranging from small start-up networks, through medium-to-large networks, to huge multinational networks — and the networks may be circuit-based, packet-based or both.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1350 OMS has a comprehensive set of applications to manage many optical technologies, including connectivity services based on Ethernet, Transport Multi-Protocol Label Switching (T-MPLS), SDH/SONET and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technologies. The software lets you centralize multiple network-management functions into one integrated platform (see Figure 1). Simplify your SDH, SONET and optical Ethernet transport network operations while transforming to service-oriented, next-generation networks (NGNs).


Bottom-line benefits

Simplified operations for reduced OPEX Continually enhancing, simplifying and automating operations offers reduced OPEX for managing the network. The Alcatel-Lucent 1350 OMS provisioning wizard can reduce the number of key clicks involved in provisioning by more than 75%. This wizard and the accompanying operational templates offer enhanced workflow tools to reduce both the mistakes and time involved with repetitive and regular provisioning. By replacing multiple technology-specific systems with a single system, service-assurance OPEX is reduced.

The improved graphical user in-terface (GUI) is engineered and customizable for enhancing the user experience and improving ease and speed of use. This GUI offers a layered network view that makes it visually easy to identify network per-

Faster ROI The Alcatel-Lucent 1350 OMS is a multi-technology platform with extensive and proven OSS integra-tion. This integration offers the rapid rollout of new capabilities and new technologies into the existing net-work, improving the ROI by months when compared to introducing a new overlay management system.

The single platform for multiple technologies can reduce training costs by more than 50 percent per technology by shrinking the learning curve and training for new capabili-ties and technologies. The uniform approach to managing the network means new capabilities and tech-nologies can be added seamlessly alongside traditional components. The operations staff will be familiar with the operations processes. Management of the entire network from a single point allows you to evolve the network segment by segment at a pace designed to meet your business case.

formance and issues, cutting problem identification time and improving customer satisfaction. Integrated fault management with layered network views allows network outages and their impacts to be rapidly and cor-rectly identified, reducing truck rolls and improving network up-time.

Cross-technology service restora-tion saves time and improves res-toration accuracy. Field-hardened interfaces provide flow-back, flow-over and flow-through management, allowing Alcatel-Lucent Zero Touch management where supported by the OSS ecosystem.

Lower TCO due to flexible, component-based platform The Alcatel-Lucent 1350 OMS uses a component-based architecture that easily scales with the network as it grows and develops. This architecture allows Alcatel-Lucent to provide a single system with single integration points for multiple optical network technologies and all network sizes. Equivalent technology-specific solutions would require four or five separate systems. The single set of interfaces offers a potential 50-percent reduction in integration costs. This integration greatly reduces management TCO by providing extensive interface support and experience. It also allows rapid testing and integration between the OSS components as they are upgraded. Proven OSS integration provides full support for new capabilities as rapidly as the wider OSS/Business Support System (BSS) ecosystem is able to support them (see Figure 2).

The Alcatel-Lucent 1350 OMS offers element management, network management and service management in one integrated package. Management starts with the network elements (NEs) providing:

• Robust management interfaces

• Configurable architectures for resilience, protection and availability

• Performance Monitoring (PM) capabilities

• Configurable alarm and event notification

Element management provides the foundation for accelerating ROI, by rapidly supporting new technologies. The Alcatel-Lucent 1350 OMS delivers full element management across the entire managed network including a map of the total network with physical topology view and a single filterable list of all of the alarmed parameters. It is invaluable in managing the complete Alcatel-Lucent Optics portfolio, as seen in Figure 3.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1350 OMS uses a common desktop, login and security; common GUI and maps; common fault management; and common PM. The Alcatel-Lucent 1350 OMS provides the capability to start and stop applications independently, and is available in compact or distributed configurations. There are High Availability options with N:M protection scheme and load balancing.

Streamlined operations provide a 75 percent reduction in key clicks for provisioning Ethernet
