GTView
Over the years, a sophisticated network could comprise a
number of different technologies from different vendors. Hence,
the task of managing and maintaining these operating networks is
increasingly difficult. Either the enterprise have to employ
many network operators or resort to a software tool to achieve
productivity and cost efficiency.
GT View is a network management system software developed by us
which includes features that are compatible to the new digital
media services as well as legacy network system. It provides
inventory management, configuration management, performance
management and troubleshooting features necessary for the
operation of a smooth network.
As illustrated in the above diagram, one of a main function of GT View, a software which runs over Windows operating system, is to gather network usage statistics and store them in database. GT View achieves statistics-collection in three ways: remote-connection, syslog and SNMP connection, typical ways used in NMS market.
In the remote connection mode, GT View allows network operator to access network equipment for statistic collection through a remote connection such as TELNET.
Network elements have a system log (Syslog), which stores all network statistics in a format defined by particular network operators. Hence network operator can go directors to the Syslog to get the whole database of statistics from all network elements.
Thirdly, network operators can also use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to get network statistics. SNMP is a protocol widely supported by most of network equipment manufacturer.
After secure login through identification and password verification, network operators can analyse collected statistics through various graphical interfaces provided by intuitive graphical user interface or through web interface.
And operators can easily control network performance by setting performance and alarm thresholds and automatic triggering of alarms based on the key usage parameters such as utilisation of network processors, transmission link etc.
