ABSTRACT:
The core optical network is a multilayer and multivendor communication network whose operation requires laborious and complex operating procedures. This paper describes an industrial management solution with a single integrated domain, end to end view, and homogenous functions across all vendors, to automate all business processes related to the core optical network and services (Network creation, Circuit Provisioning, Surveillance, Maintenance). The solution allows the automatic network deployment by mean of on-line interfaces (provisioning and some tasks in network creation), an optimal network resources allocation, a quick and reliable failure diagnostics and identification of affected customers, a quick service restoration with fair priorization, and an improved Quality of Service monitoring (QoS). The solution also reduces the users’ training periods. Additonally, less human intervention is required.
