Moving Beyond HA: Achieving 100% Service Availability

Speakers: John, Humphreys, VP of Marketing, Tail-f Systems and Robert Monkman, Director of Strategic Alliances
Date: On Demand

The mythical 5 nines are the benchmark to which network equipment providers and communications carriers aspire - requiring great expense and risk - attaining varying degrees of success. Up until now, the focus of commercial middleware providers has been on meeting this goal through improved fault management. The industry has largely reached the limits of this approach, and it is now time to address the hidden, everyday operational sources of network downtime. Industry leaders Enea and Tail-f will present power alternatives for building network equipment software platforms that allow your carrier customers to achieve 100% service availability and lower overall TCO.

This webinar addresses the following things:

  • Why manageability and serviceability are becoming key requirement for next generation communications equipment
  • How to avoid human error in misconfigurations that lead to network outages
  • How to enable your carrier customers to achieve in-service upgrades to deployed network elements with no service degradation - out of the box
  • The role key standards, such as NETCONF and SA Forum, are playing in defining the future of manageability in communications equipment platforms

Moving Beyond HA: Achieving 100% Service Availability

Integrating Next Generation Capabilities to Existing Network Management Systems

Speaker: Carl Moberg, COO, Tail-f Systems
Date: On Demand

Network management systems must adapt to meet the requirements of next generation networks.  For example, a user interfaces may need to be refreshed with a state-of-the-art Web interface or support for the NETCONF protocol may be required to help customers deploy scalable networks. Adding functionality and integrating with existing applications and data stores has multiple trade-offs in terms of development time and system efficacy. Even if developers elect to build a new application, it is often necessary to keep a legacy CLI or convert existing customer scripts to use NETCONF.

This webinar addresses the technical challenges and opportunities when adding functionality to legacy network management systems.

NETCONF: Not Your Father's Network Management

Speaker: John Lawitzke, Director of Application Engineering, Tail-f Systems
Date: On Demand

The complexity and size of networks are increasing dramatically. This is placing new demands on network operators to deploy networks in an affordable and effective manner. NETCONF is a new IETF standard that is redefining the way in which network devices are configured using a highly-scalable, XML-based, machine-to-machine protocol. This webinar will provide a technological update on NETCONF. We will compare the benefits and applications of NETCONF to SNMP, SOAP, and other approaches to configuration management. NETCONF is rapidly evolving and you will learn about its new directions.
