Frameworx Application: Resource Fault & Performance Data Mediation

Category: (2) TAM Application Type

Application Identifier: 7.4.3

Maturity Level: 4

Overview

Resource Data Mediation applications provide integration to network and IT resources for all Resource Management functions.

These applications take the output from the various resources and re-format the data into a form usable by an application such as a status monitoring application. Mediation capabilities have historically been built for almost every OSS system that faces a variety of network elements or element management systems and the development and maintenance of these functions is a significant overhead since many interfaces often need to be changed when the element being monitored changes.

In recent years, specialist mediation tools, toolkits and applications have become commercially available along with libraries of interfaces to popular network level resources. As network resources deploy standardized interfaces, mediation becomes less of a requirement but for the foreseeable future, this capability is likely to be required.

Functionality

Resource Data Mediation represents the applications that enable the OSS and the networked resource to exchange data and command and control. Typically the data is northbound from the networked resource, including network and service discovery and fault, performance and billing events. Command and control is typically southbound from the OSS to the networked resourced, including service activation, configuration and protocol, alarm and billing settings. Southbound data includes pre-building data on Element Management Systems.

Typical functions include:

  • Parsing of data from one format to another

  • Correlation

  • Pattern recognition

  • Tools to set up and maintain parsing rules
