ALCATEL-LUCENT OMNIVISTA AND ONETOUCH MANAGEABILITY
OmniVista, the Alcatel-Lucent voice and data network management platform, is a comprehensive set of network
management applications and tools that simplify the management of Alcatel-Lucent networking devices. OmniVista
allows managers to monitor network activity, configure and troubleshoot each device, as well as manage an entire
network from a single platform.
It offers unified management, network-wide visibility, element management, VLAN management, policy-
based QoS, centralized management of secure switch access, quarantine capabilities to prevent security
breaches by isolating potential threats – all within a scalable architecture.
OmniVista features OneTouch
manageability enabling network
managers to quickly configure and
manage the switches in their
network. For example, OneTouch
QoS, a feature of the Alcatel-Lucent
policy management software,
allows network managers to quickly
assign QoS priorities to network
traffic based on the characteristics
of different applications. With
“one-click,” every Alcatel-Lucent
switch in the network is
automatically configured.
Alcatel-Lucent’s OmniVista
Quarantine Manager proactively and
defensively identifies and isolates
viruses and network attacks before
they wreak havoc on the network
and automates the response for a
self-healing network.
The OS9000s offer service level
and policy-based configurations
with support for LDAP directories
enabling flexible integration with
existing platforms and allowing
extended offerings. RMON and
sFlow
TM
support is also included
with a choice of interfaces for
administrators – a command line
interface (CLI), SNMPv3, a fully
editable text-based configuration
file, and and WebView our
OmniSwitch web-based interface.
