Network management
Operators need to focus on the service, rather than the technology, where it is used, how the
network scales and how complex it is. By migrating from a technology-based network management
model to a service-oriented one, the complexity of managing services is greatly reduced. Alcatel-
Lucent offers two management platforms for operators, depending on their network requirements
and planned evolution: the Alcatel-Lucent 1350 Open Media Suite (OMS) and the Alcatel-Lucent
1340 Integrated Network Controller (INC).
The 1350 OMS management suite eliminates the need to deploy multitechnology element and network
management systems, reducing CAPEX and OPEX. It offers a highly modular architecture to properly
match operator requirements. It also:
• Simplifies presentation of a multitechnology network to the user
• Delivers future-safe, scalable platform that can be extended as the network and its services grow
• Offers single point-of-alarm collection, with all network management information available on
a single platform with a single login procedure
The 1340 INC is a leading-edge, single-platform network management system for both Alcatel-Lucent
transport networks and multivendor environments. Capable of supporting next-generation and legacy
equipment, the 1340 INC makes the transport network transparent to operators through a simplified
view from a single Graphical User Interface (GUI). It also:
• Provides end-to-end circuit, fault and performance management
• Extensively reports data, including card inventory, usage, utilization and historical reports
• Simplifies operations with a single GUI for SONET, Ethernet, MSPP, ATM/Frame Relay,
data circuit synchronous (DCS) and optical devices
