Clear Adds Network Root Cause Analysis Capabilities to ProbableCause Fault Management Solution.SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 22, 1997--NFOEC '97 booth #937 Designed To Accommodate Asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. And Broadband Networks  This article or section needs copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone and/or spelling.You can assist by [ editing it] now. , Extending The Life Of Carriers' Existing OSS Oss (ôs), city (1994 pop. 62,141), North Brabant prov., S Netherlands; chartered 1399. It is a significant industrial center. Manufactures include meat products, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electrical equipment, and metalware. Systems In keeping with its mission of developing value-add, pragmatic solutions for carrier customers as they convert from legacy systems to broadband networks, Clear Communications Clear Communications was a telecommunications company based in New Zealand. Until merging into Telstra's operations in 2001, it was the biggest rival to Telecom New Zealand. today announced the addition of a network root cause analysis (NRCA NRCA National Roofing Contractors Association NRCA Natural Resources Conservation Authority NRCA National Rehabilitation Counseling Association NRCA Natural Resources Council of America NRCA Natural Resources Conservation Areas ) capability to its ProbableCause(TM) fault isolation and management solution. This enhancement distinguishes ProbableCause as the only available product that meets the fault management needs of both transport network and service managers as they deal with multiple network technologies. ProbableCause is on display in the Clear booth (#937) at NFOEC NFOEC National Fiber Optical Engineer Conference NFOEC National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference '97. The NRCA capability enables ProbableCause to intelligently sort through sympathetic element and sub-network-level alarms and pinpoint the likely cause of a network-level disruption, whether that network happens to be asynchronous or broadband, simple or complex. Once ProbableCause detects a network problem s root cause, it then resorts to correlation analysis to identify the affected services associated with the disruption. For transport network managers, this means improved network reliability and better service metrics, and a dramatic reduction in unnecessary dispatches. Meanwhile, service managers can improve their service and customer satisfaction ratings by responding in real-time to affected service notifications provided by ProbableCause. "Transport networks are becoming increasingly heterogeneous, thanks to the emergence of such broadband networks as SONET, frame relay A high-speed packet switching protocol used in wide area networks (WANs). Providing a granular service of up to DS3 speed (45 Mbps), it has become popular for LAN to LAN connections across remote distances, and services are offered by most major carriers. , ATM and hybrid fiber coax (networking) Hybrid Fiber Coax - (HFC) A kind of physical connection used in networks for audio, video, and data. DVB (Digital Video Broadcast) is used in Europe and DOCSIS is used in N America. ," said David Miller David Miller could refer to any of the following:
According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Miller, "The situation has reached the point where network operations staffs are complaining that network alarms are managing them, and not vice versa VICE VERSA. On the contrary; on opposite sides. . This is particularly true of SONET; SONET alarm storms will totally overwhelm deployed fault management systems." ProbableCause can change that. In one field trial, ProbableCause successfully filtered out 98 percent of all the redundant and sympathetic messages that otherwise would have clogged the carrier s fault and element management systems. With these "garbage" messages eliminated, the operations support staff is able to home in on the source and location of the problem, instead of having to launch multiple dispatches to find it. Additional Enhancements The enhanced ProbableCause also features several advancements in support of the NRCA capability: -- Network topology information, which is a necessary ingredient when performing root cause analysis, can now be automatically downloaded from existing inventory database systems into ProbableCause using Clearview LegacyGateway. -- The enhanced version of ProbableCause can now provide detailed, graphically segmented private line and/or shared facility information when coupled with Clearview CircuitView. -- Administration and network operations center See NOC. Network Operations Center - (NOC) A location from which the operation of a network or internet is monitored. Additionally, this center usually serves as a clearinghouse for connectivity problems and efforts to resolve those problems. graphical user interfaces have been upgraded to provide intuitive point-and-click displays for ease of use. About Probable Cause Apparent facts discovered through logical inquiry that would lead a reasonably intelligent and prudent person to believe that an accused person has committed a crime, thereby warranting his or her prosecution, or that a Cause of Action has accrued, justifying a civil lawsuit. Clearview ProbableCause, which is part of the Clearview(r) Network Window(TM) suite of intelligent surveillance solutions, is designed to perform core transport fault management of complex broadband networks. Working in tandem with other Clearview Network Window applications such as LegacyGateway and CircuitView, ProbableCause can integrate seamlessly with embedded service and network management OSS. ProbableCause can also be integrated with other service and network management solutions from a variety of Clear alliance partners to provide customers with state-of-the-art management applications.
