Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Unified Management System Helps Relieve IT Overload

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 2500 NMS network analytics tool provides a wide range of in-depth network information giving IT an understanding of how the network is being used and helping fine tune its operation to provide an enhanced user experience. IT now has a comprehensive dashboard and reporting tool delivering the performance and usage of network elements, applications and users behavior.

OmniVista 2500 empowers IT to go from typical reactive to proactive planning of network operations using its integrated predictive analysis reporting. Predictive analysis constantly learns and predicts the network behavior as far as months in advance. With this information, IT can optimize performance and plan future expansions. Additionally, an alert notification is sent when the traffic behavior falls off the expected norm, possibly indicating a threat to the network.

Unified management has been extended with this release of OmniVista 2500 to support the entire Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise wired and wireless product families as part of a unified access network. The unified management capabilities ease deployment, management and troubleshooting of the entire network by reducing IT’s burden to support the growing use of applications and personal (BYOD) and corporate devices on the network.

The latest OmniVista 2500 release helps bridge the gap between the application and networking world giving IT visibility into applications, whether they are deployed in a physical or virtual (VXLAN) network environment, simplifying troubleshooting and enabling IT to create QoS policies to improve the user experience.
