Configuration Management
NetCracker’s Configuration Management provides comprehensive capabilities for the centralized creation, modification, and management of network and IT resource configurations in multi-vendor, multi-service environments. Configuration Management integrates with multiple network and IT systems and entities via pluggable, customizable adapters, and accumulates data across all Communications Service Provider (CSP) resources, acting as a single storage repository of configuration information from siloed systems. It reinforces and reconciles IT and network resource configuration policies and makes sure that a given configuration complies with both corporate and industry standards.
Configuration Management includes the following modules:
- Transformation Engine: transforms data gathered via discovery adapters and interfaces into a unified view, and extracts configuration data on network and infrastructure resources to be further stored in the Configuration Repository
- Configuration Repository: provides a centralized location for storing configuration data and versions (e.g. planned, historical, current). It also stores typical configuration scripts in the form of reusable templates.
- Modification Engine: provides the ability to make changes in existing configurations or to create new ones
- Configuration Activation Engine: allows new configurations to be applied to equipment via activation adapters
Key Benefits Include:
- Improved operational and workforce expenses through centralized configuration of multi-vendor infrastructure
- Reduced time to market through advanced scalability and configuration change capabilities
- High quality of service and reduced churn through minimized discrepancies between as-built and as-designed
- Facilitated network expansions and minimized CapEx through optimized capacity and efficiency of network and IT resources
- Reduced downtime and fallout prevention through efficient change management and pre-integration with Fault Management and Performance Management
