After discovery: alarm correlation
Netcool/Precision TN can combine with Netcool/OMNIbus to provide contextual
information to the NOC technician to quickly diagnose and resolve network problems. This
integration with Netcool/OMNIbus provides the following functionality:
• Netcool/Precision TN uses Netcool/OMNIbus as the real time event repository, using
Netcool/OMNIbus as the source for all alarm information displayed in the Network
Pilot. As new alarms are received in Netcool/OMNIbus, and as automations in
Netcool/OMNIbus update event records, these changes will be reflected in the
Network Pilot.
• Netcool/Precision TN can also enrich events with the discovered network topology
information, thus providing the NOC technican with more relevant information
within their event console to help prioritize work items and reduce
mean-time-to-repair.
After discovery: maintaining a real-time view of the network
Netcool/Precision TN maintains the inventory, facility, and connection data it gathers. It
updates this data constantly for a real-time view of the entire network using scheduled
polling. When a change occurs in the network, Netcool/Precision TN updates its internal
representation in the database and notifies the OSSs to which it is connected and its own
clients of the changes.
Scales to large networks
In order to scale to large telecom networks, Netcool/Precision TN implements a series of
performance strategies. These include thread management, data caching, database resource
management, and making use of Java's recent scalability enhancements.
