Connect It 3.7 (CIT370)

Connect-It 3.70 provided extended the value for our Asset and Service Management products within the following new capabilities: a new connector Java SDK allowing our partners and customers to create customer connectors; a new script debugger; a new web based management console for managing the deployment of scenarios; support for ServiceCenter 6.2, DecisionCenter 1.0, and Compliance Manager 2.0.

TeMIP 5.31 New Media Release (TMP531)

The newly available TeMIP NNM Advanced Integration 5.3 offers a complete OSS solution for next generation networks and services. Now, service providers can reap the advantages of a single vendor, tightly integrated OSS solution, for highly efficient operations of Next Generation Networks (NGN), reducing operational costs and ensuring the best user experience. Key features and benefits are:

• Single and powerful OSS IP Management console to reduce operational costs for converged Telco and IP network management
• Complete topology view from physical network to access network (TeMIP + Network Node Manager + Route Analytics Management System) - for rapid root cause analysis and service impact determination.
• Easy, low cost deployment of new IP devices/services with automatic node discovery and population of TeMIP entities, default event mapping into TeMIP alarms.
• Operational efficiency with management of end-to-end service view
• Advanced integration capabilities with tools for flexible control over:
  Network or Service Model (flexible hierarchical mapping).
  Translation of NNM events into TeMIP standardized OSI Alarms
• Distribution and Scalability with many deployment configurations.
  
  For all customers running TeMIP on HP-UX 11.11 (PA-RISC) or HP-UX 11.23 (Itanium) and to whom we can propose NNM 7.51 Advanced Edition, this is a much more powerful and efficient integration than the previous TeMIP NNM AM.
