Choice of Operating Systems and Reliability
Multiple operating systems
The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS is available for UNIX and Windows
2000 operating systems. UNIX servers can each support up to
3,000 net work elements and 65 operators. The PC installations
are ideal for managing networks with fewer than 30 nodes.
Redundant servers
System availability is enhanced through the N+1 redundancy
of servers (see Figure 5). A backup server will take over the
function of any server that fails in the system.
