MetroIntegrator - Network and Element Manager.

Critical infrastructures providers are handling complex networks with multivendor Network devices. With this, network providers are facing the problem to control a wide variety of devices (any network device, server, router, switch, microwave link, environmental monitoring devices…) using different Network Management Systems platforms, handling data on availability and performances. The implementation of a variety of NMSs makes CAPEX and OPEX of IT and OT skyrocketing (platforms cost, maintenance and tech support).

But how can network providers control a wide variety of devices in the future and do it cost-effectively? Albis-elcon provides a “single” platform, our MetroIntegrator (MI), to control such wide variety of devices, securing high availability even in critical infrastructure networks. Any kind of 3rd party SNMP device can be easily monitored from MI platform. MI can receive notifications and monitor availability and performance of any network device, server, router, switch, microwave link, environmental monitoring devices. MI is providing the best-in-class trap abilities and navigation GUI, that in conjunction with a flexible pricing scheme, tailored on any specific network configuration, are giving to the customer the best performance/cost ratio.

MetroIntegrator is a state-of-the-art and comprehensive network management platform. With its strong multi-level navigation framework it allows the operator by means of a navigation map, navigation tree, main screen tabs and a powerful search facility to quickly acquire overview and zoom in to the network elements that require attention. It has been designed as a flexible and scalable architecture based on the ITU-T M.3000 series for the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN). The FCAPS functionality sets as defined in ITU-T M.3400 were taken as the main starting point to design a network management tool that perfectly suits the needs of the operator and will ease and enable the operators’ path towards SDN-based automation and enhanced service management.
