- Near real time reconciliation
In domains utilizing NFV or SDN concepts with huge network dynamism, the traditional approach of large, bulk network discovery might not be sufficient. That is why our reconciliation interfaces can be triggered by the network itself – notifying about altered configurations. Thanks to reconciliation that’s limited and directed to changed objects, we’re able to keep Real-time Network Inventory up-to-date at all times. Although, a more traditional approach may not support network systems, it is still possible whenever needed.
One of many business benefits of Network Auto-discovery & Reconciliation is the detection of differences in configuration or topologies between operator’s network and its image in Real-time Network Inventory. The product allows defining rules on how the system should handle typical or secondary discrepancies, giving the end user a possibility to focus on those abnormal or more crucial cases.
- Tight control of network parametrization
Importation of network configuration in original vendor’s modelling as a first phase of reconciliation, provides a possibility to define a set of specific rules which guarantee parametrization of the network as desired. Network Parameter Audit, an optional functionality of Network Auto-discovery & Reconciliation, checks configuration settings of the network against these, providing feedback to user or other OSS modules.
