EMS NMS Integration – HP OpenView
A Case Study on Integration of HP OpenView at regional and national levels
Operational Requirements
Network vendor had deployed a countrywide network with regional and national NMS for network monitoring. The operator had their own NMS. The network vendor required integrated monitoring of their network using regional and national NMS and also wanted selected alarms to be forwarded to operator’s NMS for integration into the overall network
Approach
- Analysis of the overall network and its geographical distribution
- Analysis of data network paths for NMS connectivity
- Analysis of north-bound interfaces for EMS for SAN
Solution Delivered
- Trap configuration and forwarding from regional to national NMS
- Development of well-behaved applications for custom processing of traps
- Development of network maps
- Development of trap simulators for testing
Value Proposition
- Found the relevant subset of Cisco MIBs after dependency analysis among hundreds of MIBs
- Remote services from offshore location in India
- Network vendor invited us to participate in the design and development of their next generation EMS and NMS product architecture
