Developer Partner Overview
The Sun and Nortel Networks* Development Certified and Pre-integrated
Platforms represent a new business model between Sun and Nortel
Networks that is expected to ultimately help both companies to deliver
superior solutions, customer service, and support to their service
provider and enterprise customers.
The certified Sun system configuration for Nortel Multiservice
Data Manager (MDM) in a Carrier Voice over IP (VoIP) solution
includes a set of Sun system configurations from the Sun Netra product
families designed to provide leading performance with the full suite of
Nortel MDM applications, thus providing customers with
the ability to greatly enhance their business-critical infrastructure.
MDM in Carrier VoIP Solution Overview
Nortel Networks Carrier VoIP solution provides next generation voice
networks to run over IP or ATM packet technologies. MDM is an element
manager, fully integrated into the overall Carrier VoIP management
solution. MDM is designed to manage Nortel Multiservice Switch
(MSS) 7000, 15000, and 20000 platforms which can be at the core of this
network or deployed as a Media Gateway at the edge of the network.
Key attributes of MDM in the solution
- A robust, scalable, carrier-grade OAM architecture
providing redundant feeds for operation-critical events, including
fault and performance data.
- Fault management applications for various levels of
support personnel.
- Configuration management applications for consistent
network element installations, growth of those installations, and
day-to-day operations and troubleshooting.
- Performance monitoring.
- Enhance security, aligned with the solution (e.g.,
centralized user authentication).
- Standards-based, time-of-day synchronization support.
- Key administrative applications (e.g. backup and restore).
- Value-added capability for upgrading and patching network
elements that it manages .
