Performance management challenges





3

A user needs to see a high level ‘monitoring view’ but also be able to drill into the details for troubleshooting To be confident with the analysis a user needs to be sure the data availability and integrity is high

Multi-vendor

End-to-end

Data analysis





As interdependence between network domains increases it is no longer feasible to analyse a piece of the network in isolation Without a tool that provides and end-to-end view significant manual work is required to troubleshoot and report on the network





With typically 15 or more vendors in a network managing all the vendor specific tools is costly and time consuming Having multiple tools makes it difficult to get an aligned view of performance across vendors without significant manual work

Addressing the challenges with OPTIMA  A Performance Management system that allows you to:  Reliably load network performance data  Store multi-vendor, multi-technology PM data on a single database  Analyse PM data using flexible queries and graphs  Drill down/up/across on data to find root causes to problems  Create custom reports, performance alarms and threshold crossing alerts  A platform for Radio, Core, TX, IP and Fixed networks  A highly configurable and flexible system that allows easy integration to many 3rd party sources and reporting solutions

Vendor Interfaces management © 2012 AIRCOM International Ltd

Vendor Interfaces An OPTIMA interface refers to unique feed of data from an external south bound system into the AIRCOM OPTIMA database for reporting and analysis. Standard interfaces are deployed using standard off the shelf AIRCOM mediation and database program components.

  

OPTIMA interfaces are developed by AIRCOM’s dedicated Vendor Interfaces team.



Interfaces are priced according to a complexity matrix comprising of the following:  Data model  Standard reports and modules required  Standard KPI set required  Parser  Loader  Summaries required  Busy hour summaries required

55

A library of approximately 150 unique interfaces are available off the shelf. New interfaces are being developed continuously and versions are updated as vendors release new versions.

© 2012 AIRCOM International Ltd

Interfaces - Components  Each interface consists of the following components

56

Component

Description

Parser

Interface specific parser used to parse the data from the vendor proprietary format to a standard .csv file

OIT Template

An instance of the OPTIMA installation tool template covering the data model for a specific interface

KPI’s, reports and modules

AIRCOM’s standard KPIs, reports, modules and module combinations for a specific interface

Mediation and database programs

Standard off the shelf mediation and database components used to deploy an interface. Except the parser all the programs are non-specific to an interface © 2012 AIRCOM International Ltd

OPTIMA Licensing model © 2012 AIRCOM International Ltd

AIRCOM OPTIMA licensing summary 

In terms of licensing the AIRCOM OPTIMA solution can be divided into two distinct parts: client and interfaces



The AIRCOM OPTIMA client is licensed based on the size of the network which is measured by the number of elements managed in the loaded interfaces



Additionally, it is possible to buy “Productivity Packs” for the client side. These packs are licensed in the same way as the AIRCOM OPTIMA client.



The AIRCOM OPTIMA interfaces are licensed around the number and types of interfaces loading into the data warehouse



AIRCOM grants to the Customer a non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to use the Licensed Material in the Territory during the Licence Period for the internal business purposes of the Customer

61

Interface Sizing – Notes *Raw table is a direct mapping of one or many interface measurement objects/classes/groups. ** The size of an interface could increase if there is higher technological complexity of functional analysis, data collection, data interpretation etc. High complexity involves: a) Multiple network elements presenting in a domain.e.g.: PSCORE interface including SGSN and GGSN CSCORE interface including MSS/MGW/HLR/RCP And/or

b) Functional complexity: -If the NE has multiple functionalities then the presentation/analysis is complex. e.g.: IPCORE interface like Multimedia core platform having functionality GGSN, SGSN, PDSN/FA,HA, ASN Gateway,Session Control Manager,ePDG, MME, SGW, PGW, Security Gateway ***Hourly summary tables will also be created where data is sub hourly e.g. 15minutes.
