Element, Network, and Service Management
In today's increasingly complex networking environments, customers need a simplified network management system to help increase operational efficiency and strengthen competitive advantage. Cisco Active Network Abstraction (ANA) addresses the challenge of managing converged, multiservice, and multivendor IP networks.
This network management foundation for Cisco-based service provider networks provides a unique, model-based virtual network abstraction. Cisco ANA features a service-aware design that supports MPLS, Carrier Ethernet, and IP Radio Access Network/ Mobile Transport over Packet (IPRAN/MToP), and extends to emerging technologies.
Cisco ANA offers service providers:
- Element management
- Network and service monitoring
- Service activation
Cisco ANA is designed to be extended and integrated into a customer's Network Management Systems and Operations Support Systems (NMS/OSS). It offers partners and integrators a rich API and flexible query language to its Telemanagement Forum (TMF) based network information model, along with comprehensive developer support services.
Extremely customizable, Cisco ANA can be deployed along service provisioning systems, trouble ticket systems, performance management systems and more. Installed on carrier-class servers, Cisco ANA is highly distributed, providing resiliency, high availability, and scalable deployments, supporting thousands of network elements.
