Alcatel OmniVista and OneTouch manageability
OmniVista, the Alcatel voice and data network management platform, is a comprehensive set of network
management applications and tools that simplify the management of Alcatel networking devices.
OmniVista allows managers to monitor network activity, configure and troubleshoot each device, as well
as manage an entire network from a single platform. It offers unified management, network-wide visibility,
element management, VLAN management, policy-based QoS, centralized management of secure switch
access, quarantine capabilities to prevent security breaches by isolating potential threats – all within a
scalable architecture.
OmniVista features OneTouch manageability enabling network managers to quickly configure and
manage the switches in their network. For example, OneTouch QoS, a feature of the Alcatel policy
management software, allows network managers to quickly assign QoS priorities to network traffic based
on the characteristics of different applications. With “one-click,” every Alcatel switch in the network is
automatically configured.
Alcatel’s OmniVista Quarantine Manager proactively and defensively identifies and isolates viruses and
network attacks before they wreak havoc on the network and automates the response for a self-healing network.
The OS9000s offer service level and policy-based configurations with support for LDAP directories
enabling flexible integration with existing platforms and allowing extended offerings. RMON and sFlow
(TM) support is also included with a choice of interfaces for administrators – a command line interface
(CLI), SNMPv3, a fully editable text-based configuration file, and WebView, our standard web-browser
interface.
