The technical advantages of M*Ware™ Convergent Manager
M*Ware stands for the ideal balance between customer specific code and product components.
M*Ware applications are based on a flexible combination of productized, off-the-shelf components- and a minimal percentage of new components (code, rules, scripts) to configure the precise solution that the customer requires.
In M*Ware Convergent Manager systems, there are pre-built components on two levels,
The widest range of M*Ware adapters
for all network and middleware protocols translate data from different information sources to a normalized format. M*Ware supports the established (CMIP, SNMP, CORBA, TL-1, XML) and the latest interface standards.
such as MTNM (Multi-Technology Network Management, based on TMF-814 standard) and 3GPP (for mobile network management.
Automated UML and GDMO information model input and automatically generated database schemas ensures an easy fit to your existing environment.
To understand the flexibility and strength of the open CMS architecture one needs to know some technical details about CMS Services.
Competitive products on the market are selling relatively fixed applications that can not easily be changed or enhanced, but can be “configured” or “customized” by the customer, after a few weeks of training. This customization may take 4 to 6 weeks before the application is fully operational. Understanding the different options and the limitations of the customization choices will take at least a year. Real change/addition or integration of the GUI is virtually impossible.
This approach does not empower the customer to really use the system in the specific ways that he needs it. Convergent Manager has put the barrier of fixed and changeable components a level deeper.
Convergent Manager services are well defined software components, that can be combined and customized in every desired way. The Services concept is a very powerful and flexible concept to rapidly combine system building blocks into a desired, specific Network Management application.
Any Java and C++ programmer can use CMS and its services after a few weeks of training, and will have such advanced, in depth access to the CMS code, that he will be able to exactly build the required application as it fits the operator environment.
The M*Ware solutions architecture is fully distributed for scalability, reliability and security.
Central system management functions of M*Ware make it easy to add or duplicate components, or change the distribution in a way that does not cause system down time.
The M*Ware development tools and simulators help to achieve the highest developer efficiency.
