Auto-Discovery, Network Topology and Root Cause Analysis

The Netcool/Precision product family is built on a flexible architecture designed specifically for modern networks. Utilizing its accurate topology and network connectivity information, Netcool/Precision monitors the network to locate and isolate network problems as they develop and reports these problems to network staff. This enables administrators to resolve problems fast, before they escalate into more serious outages that impact the availability and performance of critical business services.

Netcool/Precision for IP Networks™

(Netcool/Precision IP) automatically discovers IP networks, gathering topology data to deliver a complete picture of devices and layer 2 and layer 3 connectivity, including MPLS, ATM and Frame networks. It monitors all discovered elements for status and continually updates its database with new device information as the network changes. When network problems occur, Netcool/Precision analyzes events and identifies the root cause of the problem - significantly reducing the time it takes to isolate network faults. Fully integrated with the Netcool suite, Netcool/ Precision delivers a complete picture of network connectivity, and quickly isolates the source of network downtime.

Netcool/Precision for Transmission Networks™

(Netcool/Precision TN) automatically discovers transmission layer (Layer 1) networks, deepening the visibility provided by Netcool/Precision IP at network layers 2 and 3. Netcool/Precision TN collects and sends alarm, inventory, facility, and connection information to Netcool/OMNIbus from any TL1- or SNMP-managed NEs so that you can drill down to the very shelf, card, and port involved in the alarm - and all in realtime. This information can be used to visualize the problems with Netcool/Precision TN's rich web-based GUI or with common reporting tools. And the information is stored in a MySQL or an Oracle database, providing additional opportunities to generate reports and analyze network data. Use Netcool/Precision TN to get an accurate network picture that enables you to reconcile offline systems (inventory, billing, provisioning), reduce capital expenditures and operating expenses, and speed up your recognition of revenue.

Netcool/Visionary™

Like an engineer in a box, Netcool/Visionary™ analyzes information from industry-standard SNMP devices and applications and provides real-time, device-centric diagnoses. Its patent-pending MicroCorrelation™ technology analyzes the SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) information to pinpoint the underlying cause of hundreds of unique problems that pertain to specific devices. Whenever a device such as a server, switch or router shows a deviation from normal behavior, Netcool/Visionary provides an explanation for the condition -showing details on why problems occur and the recommended solution. Netcool/Visionary sends this data to Netcool/OMNIbus.
