Element Management System software

• The telecommunications industry is changing rapidly. Data networking and telecommunications providers have recognized that they must make customer service and responsiveness to customers' needs a top priority. This awareness stems from increased competition to deliver the most advanced, flexible and useful services possible. As network complexity increases, management systems are becoming more and more important to the daily operations of service providers.
  
  ZyXEL's NetAtlas is an Element Management System (EMS) that supports a full suite of features for managing ZyXEL's IP DSLAM solutions. The EMS supports features for system management, network configuration, performance monitoring, fault detection, and security control. Remotely managing thousands of DSL lines becomes simple, efficient, and cost-effective through the point-and-click feature of the centralized EMS Graphic User Interface (GUI). Not only does this simplify the complexity of network management and provisioning, but it also shortens the time for failure recovery, and thus increases network availability for revenue generation.
  

  Better Network Management at Lower Operating Costs
  The powerful design of the NetAtlas simplifies network management tasks. Networks and systems can be configured, monitored and managed easily without visits from technical personnel. The advanced features provide operators with better network management and lower daily operating costs.
  
  Network-wide Visibility
  The NetAtlas offers real-time display of devices and network topology, from which a clear network status can be presented to system administrators. This is very useful when devices are scattered across various locations. It not only saves time but also expense, thus minimizing network maintenance costs.
  
  Simplified One-touch Design for Daily Operations
  There are a number of simplified functions performed by the NetAtlas. For example, Firmware upgrades now take just a click of a button to accomplish, whereas previously they took several steps. Other one-touch functions include collection of performance statistics and service provisioning.
  
  Proactive Management to Achieve Better Performance
  A variety of parameters can be monitored to keep track of the network and system. The NetAtlas provides performance monitoring that enables service providers to analyze both network and system throughput as well as error rate. The statistical data can be displayed in a graphical format, and consequently, better network performance can be planned and achieved through superior error prevention.
  
  Shortened System Recovery Time
  During daily operations, one important task for service providers is to shorten the time of system recovery. The NetAtlas provides real-time panel display, loopback tests, and alarm report schemes, so when something goes wrong with the system, errors can be detected easily and managed in a timely fashion.
  
  Event Notifications for Immediate Corrections
  Service providers can specify events according to operational requirements. For example, the system generates traps when the temperature is too high. Upon receiving these traps, the NetAtlas can instantly notify operators, and immediate action can be taken.
