Performance management

challenges

Data analysis

A user needs to see a high level ‘monitoring view’ but also be able to drill into the details for troubleshooting

To be confident with the analysis a user needs to be sure the data availability and integrity is high

End-to-end

As interdependence between network domains increases it is no longer feasible to analyse a piece of the network in isolation

Without a tool that provides and end-to-end view significant manual work is required to troubleshoot and report on the network

Multi-vendor

With typically 15 or more vendors in a network managing all the vendor specific tools is costly and time consuming

Having multiple tools makes it difficult to get an aligned view of performance across vendors without significant manual work


Addressing the challenges with OPTIMA

A Performance Management system that allows you to:

Reliably load network performance data

Store multi-vendor, multi-technology PM data on a single database

Analyse PM data using flexible queries and graphs

Drill down/up/across on data to find root causes to problems

Create custom reports, performance alarms and threshold crossing alerts

A platform for Radio, Core, TX, IP and Fixed networks

A highly configurable and flexible system that allows easy integration

to many 3rd party sources and reporting solutions

Conclusion


Alarm Module (1 of 2)

The OPTIMA Alarm module provides the ability to define thresholds and conditions on performance data that can generate alarm events for internal

reporting as well as feeding the data into a fault management system.

Network Performance Alarms Define thresholds and conditions on performance data that can generate alarm events

Report within OPTIMA and feed to a fault management system

Define alarms on any KPI or counter

System Alarms OPTIMA supports the creation of system alarms for the OPTIMA system’s performance

Configurable on OPTIMA logs and system KPIs

Hidden from regular users

ETL Alarms OPTIMA supports the creation of Threshold Crossing Alerts (TCA’s)

Raise Performance alarms immediately to the alarm system, during data load

Realise network issues earlier


Alarm Module (2 of 2) User friendly GUI

SNMP Alarm Forwarding

Requires the Alarms module to work

An SNMP Agent provides an outgoing interface for alarms and is compliant with X.733 (ITU Alarm reporting standard).

External SNMP clients (such as a fault management system) can request information about alarms in the database.

The SNMP Agent can send SNMP TRAPS to external SNMP clients (forward alarms to a fault management system).


Sandbox overview User development area for prototyping analysis solutions

Create data tables, materialized views, views, private synonyms and database links through the OPTIMA client

Elevated rights allow users to develop functions and procedures within their Sandbox storage, access to the rest of the system remains read-only outside the OPTIMA client

Reduces impact on production environment and prevents prototypes bringing down the system

Dedicated and self contained storage area allocated by system administrators to individual users

Automatic expiry of objects, configurable based on the type of object and user


Sandbox administration Monitor and manage all Sandbox objects created by Sandbox users

Manage storage allocation for all Sandbox users

Manage expiry options for Sandbox objects to ensure storage is released from old objects and ensure objects in regular use are promoted to the production environment and managed properly, i.e. monitored, maintained, backed up etc

Manage user promotion requests; rejecting, accepting and implementing.


Sandbox: correlating data sources

The OPTIMA Sandbox can be used to support Workflows and as a means to correlate PM data with data loaded ad-hoc from other sources.

Examples of this can be correlating PM data with data from:

Customer database

Rollout schedule

Fault Management

Etc.


A Web publishing tool that allows you to have 24/7 access to:

Vendor Interfaces management


Vendor Interfaces

An OPTIMA interface refers to unique feed of data from an external south bound system into the AIRCOM OPTIMA database for reporting and analysis. Standard interfaces are deployed using standard off the shelf AIRCOM mediation and database program components.

OPTIMA interfaces are developed by AIRCOM’s dedicated Vendor Interfaces team.

A library of approximately 150 unique interfaces are available off the shelf.

New interfaces are being developed continuously and versions are updated as vendors release new versions.

Interfaces are priced according to a complexity matrix comprising of the following:

Data model

Standard reports and modules required

Standard KPI set required

Parser

Loader

Summaries required

Busy hour summaries required


Interfaces - Components

Each interface consists of the following components

Component Description

Parser Interface specific parser used to parse the data from the vendor proprietary format to a standard .csv file

OIT Template An instance of the OPTIMA installation tool template covering the data model for a specific interface

KPI’s, reports and modules AIRCOM’s standard KPIs, reports, modules and module combinations for a specific interface

Mediation and database programs Standard off the shelf mediation and database components used to deploy an interface. Except the parser all the programs are non-specific to an interface


LTE Success

OPTIMA already has commercially deployed LTE interfaces.

Interoperability certification partnership with Huawei - Huawei eUTRAN interface certification already awarded.

AIRCOM was chosen to assist a North American Tier 1 operator with their LTE vendor selection.

OPTIMA Licensing model


AIRCOM OPTIMA licensing summary

In terms of licensing the AIRCOM OPTIMA solution can be divided into two distinct parts: client and interfaces

The AIRCOM OPTIMA client is licensed based on the size of the network which is measured by the number of elements managed in the loaded interfaces

Additionally, it is possible to buy “Productivity Packs” for the client side. These packs are licensed in the same way as the AIRCOM OPTIMA client.

The AIRCOM OPTIMA interfaces are licensed around the number and types of interfaces loading into the data warehouse

AIRCOM grants to the Customer a non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to use the Licensed Material in the Territory during the Licence Period for the internal business purposes of the Customer

Interface Sizing – Notes

*Raw table is a direct mapping of one or many interface measurement objects/classes/groups. ** The size of an interface could increase if there is higher technological complexity of functional analysis, data collection, data interpretation etc. High complexity involves: a) Multiple network elements presenting in a domain.e.g.: PSCORE interface including SGSN and GGSN CSCORE interface including MSS/MGW/HLR/RCP And/or b) Functional complexity: -If the NE has multiple functionalities then the presentation/analysis is complex. e.g.: IPCORE interface like Multimedia core platform having functionality GGSN, SGSN, PDSN/FA,HA, ASN Gateway,Session Control Manager,ePDG, MME, SGW, PGW, Security Gateway ***Hourly summary tables will also be created where data is sub hourly e.g. 15minutes.
