WebNMS Case StudyALLIED TELESIS WebNMS Framework Case Study

Snap ShotIndustry • Ethernet Access Solutions

Business Challenge • Allied Telesis faced a unique challenge of building a

network management system (NMS) for their wide range of products including media converters to Layer 2-4 switches.

• The NMS was expected to help Allied Telesis’s customers reduce truck rolls by enabling network operators to provision new services and manage Triple Play Networks remotely.

Solution • WebNMS Framework, a proven management platform

with more than 150 customers, became a unanimous choice inside Telesyn.

• Using WebNMS Framework, Allied Telesis engineers built the Allied Telesis NMS™.

• WebNMS field presence and experience in Ethernet access solutions was a major influence in Allied Telesis’s decision to choose WebNMS Framework as the base network management platform.

Solution Highlights • Allied Telesis NMS is the unified management software

that manages a wide range of Allied Telesis products ranging from Residential Gateways, Layer 2 to Layer 4

devices, and Carrier-Grade products such as the Allied Telesis 7700 and Allied Telesis 9700.

• Allied Telesis NMS allows the network operators to manage hundreds of Allied Telesis network elements from a remote operation center and thus eliminates the need for massive truck rolls to perform diagnostics or provisioning tasks.

• Full-featured configuration management simplifies service provisioning and equipment commissioning processes enabling faster deployment of services.

Benefits • WebNMS Framework helped Allied Telesis build

comprehensive management software enabling quicker time to market, overall cost benefits, and increased customer satisfaction.

“Using Web NMS framework, we could build a comprehensive, carrier-grade software for our Enterprise and Service Provider customers with reduced resources.”

Business Challenge With an increasing number of products ranging from media converters to Layer 2-4 switches, Allied Telesis had to provide a management platform that could work with all of their products so that their customers could centrally configure, monitor, and manage the devices.

There was also an increasing need for a platform that enabled Allied Telesis to build a full-featured NMS product to manage complex Triple Play Networks—a platform that could scale and evolve with these new services and help customers reduce not only truck rolls but also help NOC resources provision new services and manage Triple Play Networks.

Besides, Allied Telesis felt that it couldn’t go to the negotiating table unless they had a management solution as part of their offering.

Allied Telesis had to choose a reliable, robust, and cost-effective network management platform to quickly build their management application. Given a short time to market, stringent resource constraints, and a tight budget, Allied Telesis did not want to build everything on its own and was on the lookout for a network management framework that could be customized with minimal effort to meet the requirements.

Allied Telesis wanted the framework to be affordable, proven, and rich in features such as carrier-grade scalability, high-speed event correlation, remote configuration, and many out-of-the-box FCPS functions. Allied Telesis also evaluated framework vendors for breadth of solution, references, reliability, and financial stability.

Solution WebNMS Framework was one of the many frameworks that were considered for the Allied Telesis project.

The impressive clientele of WebNMS Framework of more than 150 customers, including Nortel Network, Motorola, Lockheed Martin, Chunghwa Telecom, and UTStarcom, helped Allied Telesis to choose WebNMS Framework as the platform for their management software development project.

Using WebNMS Framework, the engineers at Allied Telesis built the fully featured Allied Telesis Network Management System (NMS).

Featuring a full suite of FCAPS applications, Allied Telesis NMS provides centralized element management for a complete range of Allied Telesis product lines.

Allied Telesis NMS fully leverages the fault, performance, and security management capability of WebNMS Framework, which is critical for ensuring high availability of the Allied Telesis devices.

“WebNMS’ framework was robust, proven, and scalable. However, the key deciding criteria were the highly collaborative approach, close working relationship, and top-notch technical support offered by WebNMS.”
