Italtel Network Empowerment System

SCENARIO

Service Providers and Enterprises need to make recurring investments to manage and operate IP network infrastructures. Continuous cyclic reworks are due to: multi-technology and multi-vendor environments, capacity increase, synchronization of several IP protocols, business critical services SLA compliance, launch of new services, technology updates, policy compliance, transition to new protocols (e.g.: IPv6).

Traditional Network Management Systems can help only partially, because often misaligned: maintenance and troubleshooting tasks still require “device-level” intervention. On the other hand, device-level Operations, often based on do-it-yourself scripting, are time-consuming, technology specific, prone to human errors.
Therefore, to proficiently support the cyclic reworks on IP network infrastructures, tools providing multi-vendor and multi-device Automation Operations are needed.

BENEFITS

The deployment of effective tools simplifying network operations activities leads several benefits to Service Providers and Enterprises, in terms of Operating Expenses reduction, internal engineering processes improvement, downtime reduction, technology skill gap reduction.
Leveraging its long-term experience on multi-vendor IP Network Operations, Italtel has developed a tool to ease network manageability, named Italtel Network Empowerment System (iNES).

The tool has been designed, working hand-in-hand with Engineering teams, to improve day-by-day Operations and Maintenance activities on complex, large, multi-vendor IP network infrastructures.
iNES automates manual activities, thus reducing human errors, shrinking costs, increasing reliability and simplicity. iNES effectively improves device manageability in critical management areas (troubleshooting, configuration and analysis/assessment),where the OSS support is often poor.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

iNES simplifies and automates Operations tasks, providing device or network views. It enables Troubleshooting support, facilitating issues resolution and Network assessment, allowing proactive network care and health checks.
iNES is designed for multi-vendor purposes: most of Cisco and Juniper devices and relevant interfaces can be discovered via SNMP or Telnet.

The network topology module creates a model of the physical and logical resources, including protocols and services. By carrying out a comparison between devices or with a model, iNES enables the rapid identification of misconfigurations and SW patches misalignments.
Massive configurations can be performed by executing a list of (parametric) commands on several devices at the same time. A parser helps to easily extract, visualize and export the commands output. Real-time measures are conveniently collected and graphically represented, to verify the output of performed correction interventions.
