Convergent Agent/Manager

  • Build new manager and/or agent systems 50% faster, with higher and consistent quality

  • Simply 

    • Add new protocols to your existing application

    • Share your applications to support more networks or elements,

    • Upgrade your M*Ware application with new features-by plugging in additional M*Ware services

    • Build applications from any type of protocol (CMIP, SNMP, CORBA, TL-1, ASCII, XML) using the same framework

    • Provide Security functionality spanning the entire network infrastructure to provide robust and consistent security policies. 

The M*Ware Convergent Manager enables system integrators or in-house development teams to easily build customizable, dynamically configurable managers and/or agents. The resulting application provides the value added agent or manager role process for network elements, Q-adapters, and mediation devices at the NE, EM, NM, and SM layers. 

The core configuration of Convergent Manager provides you all the basic system services that support the rapid realization of any type of manager or agent application without a graphical front end.

M*Ware Convergent Manager is the latest advanced Vertel management development solution, which is the most professional, reliable and proven technology solution available in the market. Vertel sold management development to many major equipment vendors (including Alcatel, NTT, Nortel and Lucent) and incumbent operators (including AT&T, BT and Deutsche Telekom) all over the world. 

M*Ware Convergent Manager/Agent provides 

  • A fully object-oriented, multi-threaded environment highly customizable to specific Manager/Agent needs. All customization and user enhancements can be made using the DE tools provided with M*Ware

  • Multi Protocol support (you can simply add another protocol adapter, like SNMP, CORBA, XML or TL-1)

  • The M*Ware 3Dimensional development paradigm (interface, database, application), in which many steps have been automated to allow the developer to concentrate on a few core tasks: 

    • Designing the information model

    • Implementing the functionality in the application layer

    • Modeling different systems in a protocol independent manner in line with the DMTF CIM

    • component based and NG-OSS compliant

    • Data persistency support 

  • The possibility to simply plug-in new capabilities with additional M*Ware services
    A wide range of component services that can be used and easily customized to facilitate development at the application layer.

  • Other special services can be developed, and be easily re-used among diverse applications

  • Integration with the code-generation capability of the M*Ware CMIP Manager Simulator. 

  • Supporting dynamic MIB Loading features make it possible to develop generic Manager applications where the MIB is loaded at runtime without recompilation (the MIB is translated into metadata, that can be loaded dynamically)

  • fully supporting the TMF TMN/C++ High Level API (TMF API) , 

  • Full compliance of higher layer OSI protocol stack

  • Providing ample example code

  • Interoperable with any protocol compliant agent or manager

There are many additional optional services built to provide specific support services. A customer just buys the required services, with the confidence knowing it will be easy and very cost efficient to enhance functionality when it is required. M*Ware’s distributed, model driven architecture ensures that Management systems (Managers/Agents) as well as integration with networks and other OSSs are efficient, maintainable and highly re-usable.
