Resource Performance Management (RPM)

NexusMETER is a real-time resource performance management solution that enables carriers and enterprises to offer carrier-class services. By supporting a broad range of networking technologies (e.g. IP, Carrier Ethernet, ATM), multi-vendor network equipment (e.g. Ericsson, Huawei, Cisco, NSN) and IT cloud infrastructure components (HP, Oracle, IBM), NexusMETER ensures that the Quality of Service (QoS) metrics required to monitor, troubleshoot, report and ensure service delivery are available.

Features and Benefits

• Service- (e.g. VoIP, IPTV, VPN), customer- (e.g. corporations, VIPs) and network-centric (e.g. IP, MPLS, ATM) resource performance management
• Automatic notifications based on KPI threshold crossing for intelligent service quality monitoring to minimize OLA/SLA penalties
• Automated escalation notification via reports, emails, SMS or toward TT systems (SNMP trap) to automate workflow and lower OPEX
• Reduced CAPEX through accurate resource capacity planning - e.g. trending reports
• Reduced OPEX by automating workflow processes and optimizing network utilization

The rule-based event management system provides notification based on a variety of performance-related indicators (e.g. availability, utilization KPIs). Action alerts are sent automatically to multiple upstream systems, including fault management systems or other OSS/BSS applications, as well as activating service delivery or resource performance report generation. Integrating this notification system into your existing service assurance processes provides real-time, granular information with which you can rapidly and intelligently troubleshoot network problems.

Network- and Service-Centric Key Performance Indicators

NexusMETER provides a full view of your network via pre-defined reports, powerful ad hoc reporting and drag-and-drop dashboarding capabilities. Accurate data is not only the first step in understanding how to optimize network and service performance, it is invaluable to Service Quaity Management in ensuring service quality and proving that stringent Service Level Agreements (SLA) are being met.

Service Assurance with Resource Capacity Planning

Understanding traffic patterns and trends is vital to forecasting future network capacity and utilization levels. Network and service performance depend on the physical availability of the infrastructure that supports the higher data and network layers as well as the underlying IT infrastructure to support these services. NexusMETER is on one hand an investment which can help reduce network infrastructure-related problems (e.g. bottlenecks and congestion) as well as an enabler for substantial savings in terms of future investments by optimizing the network and IT infrastructure to size capacity to meet today and in the future you service quality expectations.
