ZHONE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (ZMS)
|
ZMS is a standards-based, carrier-class element management solution that provides management support for Zhone
multi-service networks. The ZMS client-server architecture uses proven industry standard components such as an
application server framework and a relational database to provide a robust platform. ZMS automates a number of
complex, tedious and error-prone tasks, thereby raising productivity, improving accuracy and reducing costs for
operators.
Client / Server Architecture
The ZMS client, called NetHorizhon, provides an easy-to-use, graphical interface for operators to manage and
troubleshoot Zhone networks. Maps and sub-maps represent regions and network devices, making it intuitive for
network operators to drill down for views of chassis, cards, ports, logical interfaces and lists of services.
Multiple client support ensures that many operators performing discrete management tasks can simultaneously use
data from the ZMS Server.
The ZMS server provides a suite of management applications to support fault, configuration, performance, security
and diagnostics functions. It communicates with the Zhone devices via industry-standard protocols such as SNMP and
FTP, using reliable mechanisms to ensure timely transfers of management information. Service, configuration, and
subscriber data are stored in a relational database.
Full Featured Management System
Zhone's ZMS is a full-featured management system including a full FCAPS implementation, including Fault,
Configuration, Administration, Performance and Security. ZMS's FCAPS functionality enables quick turnup of devices,
advanced tools for increased productivity, Real-time traffic and service monitoring and historical data collection
for trending and analysis.
OSS Integration
ZMS OSS Gateway provides an open standards based Corba interface for seamless integration into existing and new
service provider Operations support systems (OSS). The interface provides for bi-directional transfer of management
information for tasks such as automated flow through provisioning and inventory management. Other data such as
device configuration, capacity and status of various network entities can also be accessed through this interface
for integration purposes.
