Release Details
NetBoss XT Product Plays Key Role in TMF Harmony Catalyst Project
NetBoss XT is the latest, most innovative version of the company’s pacesetting network management solution for broadband, wireless and converged networks. It delivers a comprehensive network view, providing detailed information rapidly, so network operators can manage resources and services efficiently. Designed for easy deployment, it allows users to gather data quickly from multiple sources, including IP-based NGN infrastructure, fixed and wireless telecommunications networks, radios and other equipment. NetBoss XT is available in a wide range of configurations that can be combined with other variants or with NetBoss Manage.IT™ to deliver flexible, reliable and cost-efficient network management.
Harmony is part of the conference’s Catalyst showcase, featuring demos of collaborative solutions to real-world problems. It demonstrates how standards-based technology can radically change an operator’s approach to operating their network via an OSS. NetBoss’s contributions to Harmony include a combined version of the NetBoss XE™ Element Manager and NetBoss XM™ Network Manager that provides Harmony with element, network and service management, respectively.
The Harmony project shows that through the use of TMF artifacts and cooperation among standards development organizations, an OSS with end-to-end customer experience management capabilities in NGNs can be assembled and operated in real-world scenarios. It can also manage mobile ad hoc IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) applications, delivering -play services over PBT-based networks, illustrating that such a system can evolve with the newest networking technologies and service products.
“Complete and fast integration of new next-generation network technologies into the operations environment and creation of cost-efficient operations support systems that can easily adapt to the dynamic NGN environment are two of the most pressing issues facing service providers today,” said Alex Zhdankin, Harris Stratex Networks’ Network Operations chief software architect and co-leader of the Harmony Catalyst team. “Because it is built using the latest advances in standards and technologies, the NetBoss XT product line makes rapid, low-cost integration of emerging NGN technologies into a service provider’s operations environment a reality.”
Alex Zhdankin will present “NGOSS Interfaces in the Converged Environment,” on Tuesday, May 20, from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m., and will participate in the session “NGOSS Contracts – Making it Real,” on Thursday, May 22, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the TeleManagement World Conference. Harris Stratex Networks will also be showcasing its NetBoss XT product on the exhibit floor in booth #44.
About the TeleManagement
Forum
The TeleManagement Forum was founded in 1988 as the OSI/Network
Management Forum with the goal of accelerating the availability of
interoperable network management products. Founding members included
AT&T and BT on the service provider side, and suppliers such as
Northern Telecom and Hewlett-Packard on the equipment side. By early
1989 it had approved its first OSI/NM Forum Protocol Specification and
by 1990 it had 85 members from 13 countries. The Forum has continued to
adapt as the technological and business landscape has developed. Today,
the TeleManagement Forum has more than 500 members, runs the
industry’s leading OSS/BSS Conference and Exposition, and its
standards are being adopted by the UN body, the International
Telecommunications Union (ITU). For more information, visit: www.tmforum.org.
