Performance management
challenges
Data analysis
A user needs to see a high level ‘monitoring view’ but also be able to drill into the details for troubleshooting
To be confident with the analysis a user needs to be sure the data availability and integrity is high
End-to-end
As interdependence between network domains increases it is no longer feasible to analyse a piece of the network in isolation
Without a tool that provides and end-to-end view significant manual work is required to troubleshoot and report on the network
Multi-vendor
With typically 15 or more vendors in a network managing all the vendor specific tools is costly and time consuming
Having multiple tools makes it difficult to get an aligned view of performance across vendors without significant manual work

Addressing the challenges with OPTIMA
A Performance Management system that allows you to:
Reliably load network performance data
Store multi-vendor, multi-technology PM data on a single database
Analyse PM data using flexible queries and graphs
Drill down/up/across on data to find root causes to problems
Create custom reports, performance alarms and threshold crossing alerts
A platform for Radio, Core, TX, IP and Fixed networks
A highly configurable and flexible system that allows easy integration
to many 3rd party sources and reporting solutions

SNMP Alarm Forwarding
Requires the Alarms module to work
An SNMP Agent provides an outgoing interface for alarms and is compliant with X.733 (ITU Alarm reporting standard).
External SNMP clients (such as a fault management system) can request information about alarms in the database.
The SNMP Agent can send SNMP TRAPS to external SNMP clients (forward alarms to a fault management system).

Create data tables, materialized views, views, private synonyms and database links through the OPTIMA client
Elevated rights allow users to develop functions and procedures within their Sandbox storage, access to the rest of the system remains read-only outside the OPTIMA client
Reduces impact on production environment and prevents prototypes bringing down the system
Dedicated and self contained storage area allocated by system administrators to individual users
Automatic expiry of objects, configurable based on the type of object and user
43 © 2012 AIRCOM International Ltd
Sandbox administration Monitor and manage all Sandbox objects created by Sandbox users
Manage storage allocation for all Sandbox users
Manage expiry options for Sandbox objects to ensure storage is released from old objects and ensure objects in regular use are promoted to the production environment and managed properly, i.e. monitored, maintained, backed up etc
Manage user promotion requests; rejecting, accepting and implementing.

Vendor Interfaces
An OPTIMA interface refers to unique feed of data from an external south bound system into the AIRCOM OPTIMA database for reporting and analysis. Standard interfaces are deployed using standard off the shelf AIRCOM mediation and database program components.
OPTIMA interfaces are developed by AIRCOM’s dedicated Vendor Interfaces team.
A library of approximately 150 unique interfaces are available off the shelf.
New interfaces are being developed continuously and versions are updated as vendors release new versions.
Interfaces are priced according to a complexity matrix comprising of the following:
Data model
Standard reports and modules required
Standard KPI set required
Parser
Loader
Summaries required
Busy hour summaries required
56 © 2012 AIRCOM International Ltd
Interfaces - Components
Each interface consists of the following components
Component Description
Parser Interface specific parser used to parse the data from the vendor proprietary format to a standard .csv file
OIT Template An instance of the OPTIMA installation tool template covering the data model for a specific interface
KPI’s, reports and modules AIRCOM’s standard KPIs, reports, modules and module combinations for a specific interface
Mediation and database programs Standard off the shelf mediation and database components used to deploy an interface. Except the parser all the programs are non-specific to an interface

OPTIMA Licensing model
61 © 2012 AIRCOM International Ltd
AIRCOM OPTIMA licensing summary
In terms of licensing the AIRCOM OPTIMA solution can be divided into two distinct parts: client and interfaces
The AIRCOM OPTIMA client is licensed based on the size of the network which is measured by the number of elements managed in the loaded interfaces
Additionally, it is possible to buy “Productivity Packs” for the client side. These packs are licensed in the same way as the AIRCOM OPTIMA client.
The AIRCOM OPTIMA interfaces are licensed around the number and types of interfaces loading into the data warehouse
AIRCOM grants to the Customer a non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to use the Licensed Material in the Territory during the Licence Period for the internal business purposes of the Customer

Interface Sizing – Notes
*Raw table is a direct mapping of one or many interface measurement objects/classes/groups. ** The size of an interface could increase if there is higher technological complexity of functional analysis, data collection, data interpretation etc. High complexity involves: a) Multiple network elements presenting in a domain.e.g.: PSCORE interface including SGSN and GGSN CSCORE interface including MSS/MGW/HLR/RCP And/or b) Functional complexity: -If the NE has multiple functionalities then the presentation/analysis is complex. e.g.: IPCORE interface like Multimedia core platform having functionality GGSN, SGSN, PDSN/FA,HA, ASN Gateway,Session Control Manager,ePDG, MME, SGW, PGW, Security Gateway ***Hourly summary tables will also be created where data is sub hourly e.g. 15minutes.
