Programmable Agents -- soft-microprocessors
that turn network noise into useful information -- populate
the chassis' models to provide a live view of the network
and its changing state. NetHarmonix agents also configure
devices and manage connections.
With these fundamental elements, NetHarmonix can deliver
point solutions or a complete OSS infrastructure.
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 visualizing any network's physical,
logical and topological characteristics, the meta-model helps
maximize the output of network assets.
NetHarmonix's Asset-Resource-Capability-Service-Product
(ARC-SP) model maps network assets to their service
capabilities. By abstracting capabilities, marketing groups
create service packages based on real network resources
without being concerned about delivery mechanisms.
NetHarmonix can quantify the cost of any service and reveal
optimal ways to deploy services over existing infrastructure.
An OSS should manage each stage of a service's life equally
well. Few OSS's can. NetHarmonix's efficiency in form enables
efficiency in function. It supports a service's complete
lifecycle -- optimizes the network, automates delivery,
manages QoS and handles network events -- from the same
base technology.
