Network inventory systems enable Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to create and maintain a digital representation of their physical and virtual networks, including the telecom services provisioned on the network. This network representation is used by network designers to create, and maintain a representation of the network, the services delivered on it, and the customers who use those services. The network cannot be designed correctly if the network inventory is incomplete or inaccurate, and a network inventory system helps ensure the accurate design and management of the network. Network inventory systems integrate with other critical systems, like customer care and service assurance, to reference or update the network inventory data.
This application provides advanced features entitled by Telecommunications Network Inventory Pro. Key features include:
- Capacity Management
- Rack Visualization
- Topology Visualization
New
- Use the new L1 menu that consolidates all network visualizations into a single canvas and include a tabular section for each view, such as site, floor, and topology.
- Use the floor map to view the layout of your data center infrastructure. View network asset placement and operational details to monitor power, thermal, and usage data. View the incidents and alerts and take appropriate action.
- Use the geo map to view the geographical locations of your network sites and data centers. Geo map supports rendering data centers on the map, enabling the relevant persona, such as the DC Ops Viewer, to view all connected data centers. You can open a data center floor map directly from the geo map for more detailed insights.
- Upload and manage your data center map objects using the Map Studio interface. Enable you to view respective floor plans for a selected building in a campus.
- Provides a converged experience for agents to view both incident/alarm details and Network Inventory entities within a single Workspace. Enhances efficiency in retrieving information and significantly improves the overall user experience.
- Supports pushing operational data to REST endpoints through an exposed API and store it in the ClothoDB. Overlay time series metrics on the data center floor map to monitor overall health and take appropriate action.
- Manually record operational values of Configuration Items (CI) and store it in ClothoDB. Use this data for data center performance tracking.
- Define your data center record to view the location-specific attributes for each data center, including the campus, buildings, and floors where your network asset is located.
Define the power circuit record to represent the electrical pathway that delivers power within a data center. - Define the facility hardware record to represent power, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), network representation, and their connectivity in a data center.
- Create a facility model to define the physical characteristics data of the facility record based on the product manufacturer's recommendations.
- View data center records listed in the Equipment task attribute form.
- Add Wavelength attribute to the Network Interface form and Port position attribute to Interface Model form.
- Added RU numbering direction attribute to define the numbering sequence of rack units in the Rack view.
Changed
- The Network Visualization L1 menu is added to the Telecommunications Network Inventory Workspace. The Topology L1 menu has been removed and is available as Topology tab within the Network Visualization view.
- xNF Instance is renamed to Service Instance.
- xNF is renamed to Network Function.
- Dependencies
- This application installs Network Inventory Core as a dependency.
- This application installs Network Inventory Workspace as a dependency.
