Euthymia Control Modules

Configuration Management

CM (Configuration Management)

Module description

The Configuration Management module in Euthymia is a multi-module and multi-technology comprehensive solution for inventory of logical and physical network elements and support of network planning process. It is designed to manage the configuration of the mobile network elements in a planned manner, that works with any network technology, and with all types of networks.

The Configuration Management module in Euthymia is, at its core, intended for maintaining the CMDB, which is a database that contains all relevant information about customer assets (referred to as Configuration Items, or CIs) installed across the infrastructure environment, together with data that describes the relationships and inter-connectivity between CIs.
As built-in workflow engine supports the processes related to network management, including the other modules from Euthymia (CC, PM, IM, ...), it helps CSPs to enable successful network transformation. Subsequently, the CM module reduces the time and cost of frequent network modifications and adjustments caused by changing traffic conditions or introduction of new services and network technologies. Furthermore, it significantly reduces the workload of Network Departments.

Built-in workflow engine supports the processes related to network management, including the other modules from Euthymia: Change Control. Problem Management, and Incident Management. It helps CSPs to enable successful OSS transformation.
Subsequently, the Configuration Management service at NG2 significantly reduces the time and cost of frequent network modifications and adjustments caused by changing traffic conditions or introduction of new services and network technologies. Furthermore, it significantly reduces the workload of Network Departments.



Objectives

By intelligent management of data about the network and services, the CM module at NG2 provides substantial efficiency gains for telco business processes such as: Network design and expansion, Service sale, delivery and provisioning, Incident and Fault Management, Network maintenance, etc… Additional benefits include:
  • Possibility of designing several alternative network configuration plans, and selecting an optimal network configuration plan for deployment.
  • Proceed with resource dimensioning and alternative routing, e.g. in case of mass events or other critical conditions.
  • Audit of the actual network configuration vs. implemented plans (on demand or periodical).
  • Automatic report generation for implemented or planned network reconfiguration plans.
  • Repository of historical information about implemented network configuration plans enabling rollback actions.
  • Lower OPEX & CAPEX.
  • Reduced time to market for new services.
  • Better quality of the service.
