How it WorksThe VKMs interpret alarms and perform interaction with PBXs, switches, routers, servers and applications to furnish our engineers and customers with service level indicators for system availability and functionality. These indicators are presented as a snapshot of your business critical functions; providing real business meaning to exactly what services are affected, which users are involved and the degree of service distress. It also maintains the intelligence to distinguish if an alarm represents an isolated problem or carries a broader effect; enabling engineers to recognize and resolve critical functions or problems affecting business units in order of importance. Avaya, Cisco, Extreme, Juniper, Linux, Solaris and Windows are among many of the VKMs available. The nectar/CMP platform is delivered as a service. This eliminates the capital expenditures required to purchase traditional network management frameworks and the professional services necessary to launch a monitoring infrastructure. All of the hardware, software, licensing, implementation and ongoing management are provided with nectar/CMP – ensuring that you will always produce a return on this investment Co-dependant systems rely on the same delivery network typically in a muli-vendor and serrvice provider enviorment. When problems arise, finger pointing between different equipment manufacturers or the individuals that support different layers of your network inevitably occurs. Point tools used in managing specific network elements are becoming obsolete. The number of skills required to manage the new converged network is growing and your IT budget is shrinking. Enter nectar/CMP. |
