Cisco and Nokia Siemens Networks entered into an agreement to develop a standards-based telecommunications network management platform that will help service providers manage the increasing complexity of their networks and speed time to market of new services. The jointly developed Operations Support Systems (OSS) platform will help the entire service provider community better align network capabilities and costs with business demands. As part of the agreement, Cisco and Nokia Siemens Networks will deliver a solution that will provide a common end-to-end network view of diverse network elements – across IP and mobile technologies – that are automatically discovered and represented as a virtual network model. The platform will include basic fault, configuration, performance and security (FCAPS) management functionality as well as a variety of common functions, such as data acquisition and network element mediation, which will be utilized by higher-level OSS applications.
