NNM iSPI for TrafficNNM iSPI PerformanceTraffic Overview

Dynamic RCA (dRCA) and service impact to…• pinpoint problems• assess impact to network survivability, recovery, and

reductions in redundancy• faster mean time to repair (MTTR)

Dynamic RCA service

• NNM SPIs for new technologies• OVPI, RAMS, BAC integrations• 3rd party integrations: Netscout,

CiscoWorks, Alarmpoint• Webservices SDK with interfaces for

Inventory, Topology, Path, and Incidents

Easily expanded

Automatic discovery, inventory & monitoring of…• device physical model (components, etc…)• complex switched networks (layer 2)• routed networks (layer 3: IPv4)• virtual network services (VLAN, etc…)
