5620 SAM Nuage Virtualization overview

The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager (5620 SAM) Nuage
Virtualization (NV) feature group provides the network management component for
the Alcatel-Lucent Data Centers Service Delivery solution. The solution combines
existing functionality from the 5620 SAM and the 5650 CPAM along with unique
data center feature sets to provide end-to-end network management and service
assurance for a data center network. This functionality allows you to:
•
discover and manage a network of SROS-based NEs such as the 7850 VSG with
full FCAPS EMS support
•
discover and manage generic network elements with system management and
MIB support
•
provide IGP network infrastructure management
•
monitor and manage virtual network objects with full visibility of associated
network objects and services
•
discover and manage data center services such as dVRS and EVPN services
•
monitor service status and reachability with virtualization-aware service views
and service mapping features
•
manage alarms and identify the root cause or service impact of a network or
service problem using historical event correlation
•
proactively test service performance and monitor network status with service
tests and threshold crossing alarms
•
view performance, accounting, and server statistics and plot them into graphs
•
provide OSS integration with external applications

5620 SAM deployment and packaging

The 5620 SAM is deployed and installed the same way as a 5620 SAM/5650 CPAM
co-installation. See the 5620 SAM | 5650 CPAM Installation and Upgrade Guide for
more information.

Nuage Virtualization features

While the Nuage Virtualization feature set is derived from the 5620 SAM and the
5650 CPAM, packaging is not the same. Some 5620 SAM capabilities which are not
relevant to DC network management are excluded. For example, optical and LTE
support is not included.
Features in the Nuage Virtualization feature set are offered in the following layers
which reflect different sets of management capabilities.
•
EML Layer — provides equipment management and FCAPS features for
managed devices with SNMP/SFTP/FTP. Standard equipment management
features for the 7850 VSG include backup and restore, statistics, alarms, and
equipment configuration.
•
Infrastructure Layer — provides infrastructure topology management and
protocol management for the 7850 VSG and third-party GNEs. Standard
infrastructure management features include 5650 CPAM IGP maps, path
