Optimizing real-time networks for service and performance can be a challenge for managers. Under-provisioned networks are economical to operate, but provide inferior service at critical periods during the day when traffic is heaviest.

Over-provisioned networks are wasteful but guarantee users immediate access to all facilities, routes and classes or service, all the time.  Between the two extremes is the performance target that service providers try and aim for – optimization.

RPM, Remote Performance Metrics from TSB Solutions takes the guesswork out of network performance and configuration management for service providers.

Using the traffic, alarms and configuration data collected by TSB’s Solo element monitors and SEM software, RPM produces a suite of graphical reports and tables that detail network traffic, response time and element configuration for a variety of OEM equipment types and releases.  In many cases, ‘acceptable service’ thresholds can be set by users to benchmark actual service levels. Where applicable, RPM automatically identifies busy hours.

Site-specific data files are assembled during the reporting period and report production can be triggered automatically at the end of a site’s reporting period.

RPM supports web browser access to processed and archived reports in HTML and PDF formats and RPM is an ideal tool for service providers wishing to add traffic studies to their offering.

RPM provides unique diagnostic reports for network optimization and element configuration management.  Most networks contain multiple makes/versions of equipment inter-connected.  Every OEM device generally produces a non-standard set of metrics.  By focusing its reports on user-configurable performance thresholds and busy hours, RPM allows service providers and end users to quantify and visualize optimized network performance.

RPM operates in the Sun Solaris environment and the application can co-habit with SEM and SAM on a common server or can be networked using discrete servers.
