Web Element Manager Overview

Cisco Systems ASR 5000 is a powerful, service-enabling platform for mobile operators looking to provide a superior
service experience for their subscribers. Part of the power and flexibility of the system is its robust, standards-based
management application.
The Web Element Manager (WEM) is a Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA)-based application that
provides complete Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security (FCAPS) management capability for
the system.
For maximum flexibility and scalability, the WEM application implements a client-server architecture. This architecture
allows remote clients with Java-enabled web browsers to manage one or more systems via the server component which
implements the CORBA interfaces. The server component is fully compatible with the fault-tolerant Sun® Solaris®
operating system. For added security, management traffic can be encrypted using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
protocol.
