A network is more than the sum of its physical elements
— it is a series of complex relationships. NetHarmonix’s
meta-model provides the organizing principle for optimizing
network assets and relationships. By representing a network’s
physical, logical and topological characteristics, the meta-model
maximizes the output of network assets.
Three components of the meta-model are:
Physical — The physical model captures network
elements, their configuration, and where they exist in the
network.
Logical — The logical model captures connections,
capacity, network layers, and multi-technology inter-weaving.
Topological — The topological model maintains
the overall picture of how services are and can be configured
on network resources.
In this way, NetHarmonix provides a unified solution for
managing network complexity. Its organizing principle is
a three-tiered meta-model that captures and manages network
relationships. The meta-model makes QoS management and impact
analysis inherent to any service, and promotes data integrity
by feeding other systems that require a live view of the
network.
