AlliedView NMS Overview
The AlliedView NMS is a comprehensive
network management platform designed to
offer networkprovidersand enterprise
customers powerful tools for the management
of their Allied Telesis products and provisioning
of multiple services in the IP and Ethernet
based access network. With a full suite of
provisioning and monitoring tools, the
AlliedView NMS maximizes the operational
efficiency by providing proactive diagnostics
while minimizing service deployment times
hence shortening the path to revenue.
Flexible Management Tools
With extensivemanagement capabilities, the
AlliedViewNMS allows the user to manage
thousands of Allied Telesis network elements
from a remote operations center - thus
reducing the need for a truck roll to perform
diagnostics or making provisioning changes.Via a
user-friendly graphical user interface, the NMS
will substantially decrease the time required for
deploying and provisioning large networks.
Among the key strengths of the NMS are
networkmonitoring and network wide service
provisioning.
Architecture Overview
The three essential constituents of AlliedView
NMS architecture are back-end (BE) server,
front-end (FE) server and the user client.
•The back-end server (BE) performs core,
server-side network facing tasks, such as the
discovery of managed objects, receiving and
processing event and alarm notifications, data
collection, report generation, and status
polling and northbound interface. All updates
to the relations database takes place through
the BE server.
•The front-end server (FE) provides scalability
in terms of the number of clients that can be
supported. High availability of the client can
be achieved byincreasing number of FEs that
are connected to BE. FE server performs the
following:
»Channels all the clients' requests.
»Generates the user client views through
database read operations using a completely
stateless architecture which helps in providing
the accurate information at all times.
•The client acts as the user interface between
the end-user or administrator and NMS
server. There are two types of client
interfaces:
»Java Client.
»HTML Client.
Network Inventory
The AlliedView NMS provides automatic
topology and device discovery for most
networks, regardless of size.The NMS allows for
multiple network and device views where the
user can observethe entire network or focus in
on an individual networkdevice.In addition, the
NMS contains inventory of network interfaces,
ports, physical links,VLANs and different device
types.

Zero Touch Service Provisioning
The AlliedView NMS allows for the rapid
deployment of multiple services (e.g. Internet
Access, IPTV video and VoIP telephony) via the
provisioning of VLANs and QoS policies across
multiple devices with a minimum of commands.
Provisioning and rollout of new services and
devices are significantly accelerated via the use
ofprofiles for the most common types of
services in the network.
By defining a common set of profiles NMS
enables multiple services to a subscriber to be
provisioned via a single screen.
Network Upgrades
The AlliedView NMS can perform scheduled or
unscheduled network wide firmware and
software upgrades to many of the Allied Telesis
device types.The NMS maintains control of
software releases to ensure all nodes in the
networkalways maintain consistent software
loads.
Northbound Interface
AlliedView NMS can interoperate with existing
Operation SupportSystems (OSS) and
Business Support Systems (BSS) through
northbound protocols, such as SNMP and
XML/SOAP. On the southbound, AlliedView
NMS supports multiple protocols including
SNMP, CLI, and TR069 in future releases.
Hot Standby Failover Service
AlliedView NMS is a carrier-class system
designed to run in mission-critical environments
which require continuous and uninterrupted
access to the NMS. If a failure occurs of the
primary server an automatic switch takes place
to a redundant or hot standbyserver. In the
process all the functions being performed by
the primaryserver (i.e. the currently active-
server) are automatically assumed by a
redundant or standby server upon the failure or
sudden termination of the primary server
ensuring an uninterrupted access to NMS
functions. Failover makes the NMS systems
fault-tolerant.The process of switching over has
been designed to be smooth and automatic so
that the end-user does not notice the failure of
the primary server or the subsequent switch
over by the standby.
Hot standby failover support is provided for
both BE and FE servers.
•BE Failover –NMS has primary and standby
BE servers which are redundant
configurations designed to provide the same
functionality. When the primary BE fails, the
standby BE takes over the functions of the
primary.The FE which is connected to the BE
which fails will automatically reconnect to the
standby BE.
•FE Failover –User clients are connected to
the BE through FEs. If the FE to which a client
is connected fails, the client will be connected
automatically to another FE.
