GENView Manager

GENBAND Difference

GENView Manager is the one-stop shop for the management of GENBAND’s network elements and provides fault, performance and configuration management as well as a central security service for authentication and authorization.

GENView Manager is built on top of GENWare, GENBAND’s unique leading-edge middleware, and provides ONE standard method to manage all regular maintenance activities across all the network elements (fault handling, patches, upgrades, backup/restore, etc.) from a unified set of graphical user interfaces that have a familiar look and feel and require less training, less time to use and less operational costs.

GENView Manager provides enhanced network security by utilizing secure protocols for information exchange and a central security architecture for user and permission management.

GENView Manager’s hardware flexibility allows it to reside on a blade in the GENBAND GENiUS platform, or in a standalone Rack Mount Server, managed from a different location within the service provider’s network.

GENView Manager can be deployed in a tiered architecture, providing aggregation of GENBAND network elements for scale purposes to meet larger network requirements.

Benefits

Unified Management
GENView Manager provides ONE standard, simple, unified connection to the service provider’s Fault/Performance OSS for all the GENBAND network elements. It allows the aggregation of many network elements and network element types.

Reduced OPEX
GENView Manager simplifies the architecture of the management network reducing the maintenance costs. Additionally, GENView Manager uses familiar web GUIs that reduce the cost of training staff and facilitate a faster resolution of network issues.

Revenue increase/consolidation
GENView Manager accelerates the resolution of network problems, increasing the perceived quality of experience of the network users, reducing churn and enhancing the service provider’s reliability.

Hardware Flexibility
GENView Manager can be deployed in an ATCA blade on GENiUS or in a standalone Rack Mountable Server to better suit the needs of service providers.

Hierarchical Architecture
GENView Manager can be deployed in a tiered architecture that provides a level of GENBAND element correlation and aggregation to meet larger network requirements.

Flexible Deployment Options
GENView Manager can be deployed in the network operations center, in the central office, as an aggregated solution management system or for direct network element management. It can be adapted to the needs of the service provider.

Standards based and secure
GENView Manager uses standard interfaces to the OSS as well as secure protocols and single sign-on to ensure a seamless and solid operation of the network.

Overview

GENView Manager delivers the capabilities required for operations/craft-persons to manage the network elements and applications and also provides the necessary interfaces to view and manage the network elements’ faults, performance data, security, and system configurations.
