The Accela Unified NMS Platform is a vendor-free system designed to streamline major OSS operations for complex networks, addressing challenges such as multi-vendor management and error-prone operations. It offers a single point of access for data across various technologies and automates tasks like bulk parameter changes, neighbor operations, and rehoming while enhancing security and reducing dependencies on vendor tools. This platform aims to increase efficiency and reliability in network operations by consolidating tools and processes.
Unified NMS platform (Single OSS/M2000/Netact Platform)
- 1. ACCELA – Unified NMS Platform
- 2. Accela Unified NMS Platform ACCELA Unified NMS Platform The Vendor-Free Single OSS platform for major OSS Operations such as “Bulk Parameter Changes” “Rehoming” “Neighbor Operations” “Carrier Additions” “Feature Trials”
- 3. Why to use Accela-Unified NMS Platform ? OPERATOR CHALLENGES Multi-Vendor / Multi-Technology related “Network Complexity” Expertise needed for operations on different vendor Network Management Systems (NMS) Dependency on “Vendor Tools” NMS Operations being very error-prone Overhead of managing in-house built tools, Excel macros, etc. Feature and Speed related limitations slowing down network operations
- 4. Operation Challenges in Complex Networks Conventional Network Operation Cycle Different Vendor Tools Dependability with Technical Limitations In-House Scripting Causing Individual Dependency Limited Access Control Error-Prone No Centralized Control Extensive OSS Knowledge Required Cell Database Planning Tools Asset Atoll Planet Regional Teams Central Optimization Central Planning Central Network Operations OSS 2G-3G-4G M2000 2G-3G-4G Netact 2G-3G-4G
- 5. Single ETL platform for all vendor/technologies Single point of access Detailed operations logging and history User based security rights Script generation engine based on vendor/technology Single platform accessing all data sources Accela Unified NMS Architecture Regional Teams Central Optimization Central Planning Central Network Operations OSS 2G-3G-4G M2000 2G-3G-4G Netact 2G-3G-4G
- 6. Use Cases : Bulk Parameter Change • Unified User Interface for all supported Vendor and Technologies • Automatic Node and Parameter Import • Special functions are available for complex scripting (e.g PCI change operations done end-2-end with external definition handling in GSM, UMTS and LTE. ) • Different script outputs are available; XML, MML, AMOS, text, etc. Bulk Parameter Changes
- 7. Use Cases : Neighbour Operations • Automatic Node and Parameter Import • Validation process is done for consistency check and cell data controls • Admin can define neighbour max counts for inter and intra neighbours. It is possible to define max value for all total neighbour count as well. • Different script outputs are available; XML, MML, AMOS, text, etc. Neighbor Operations
- 8. Use Cases : Rehoming Operations Existing Tools NodeB rehome process takes long time Works with limited number of sites. Depends on Vendor NMS. Difficulty to complete the rehome operation error free. Accela No NodeB number limitation. Scheduled data collection to shorten rehome process. Multi Telnet sessions for fast rehome activity One tool for all required operations, NTP, One-Gui, MSS, etc. Rehoming Operations
- 9. Use Cases : Rehoming Operations DATA COLLECTION • Scheduled or On-Demand Collection • NodeB Alarms • NTP Values • Performance Reports • Cell States • Rehome Data IMPLEMENTATION • LAC • Service Area • IUB • UtranCell • Neighbour • NTP • One-Gui • CNA • MSS VALIDATION • Cell States • Neighbour Counts • NTP values • NodeB Alarms • Performance Reports Rehoming Operations Example : Ericsson Rehoming Operation Flow
- 10. Script Execution • Ericsson ,Huawei and Nokia support • Direct Connection to OSS, M2000 and Netact • Detailed operation logging • Paralell executions to keep the implementation time minimum. Execution Process
- 11. ACCELA Unified NMS Platform : Reduces operations time Increases the efficiency of the BSS Team Provides advanced security and log mechanism Eliminates the need for vendor tools for each OSS Enables reliable and error free task execution Eliminates the need for inhouse scripts and excel sheets/macros Automates operational processes Reduces vendor expertise dependency
