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

(4)

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

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

(56)

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

(57)

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

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
