Cisco Transport Manager 7.0
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Cisco
®
Transport Manager is an intelligent element management system (EMS) that efficiently manages the entire Cisco ONS Family of
products as well as the Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS-1), Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, Cisco MGX
®
8880 Media Gateway, and
voice-enabled Cisco MGX 8850 and MGX 8830 Multiservice Switches. Cisco Transport Manager supports configuration, fault,
performance, and security management and serves as a foundation for integration into a larger OSS environment. High availability, self-
healing processes, and comprehensive management across the Cisco ONS Family give service providers and large enterprises a resilient,
adaptable, and integrated carrier-class EMS solution.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
GUI-Based Management for Unparalleled Productivity
Cisco Transport Manager is a powerful GUI-based management system that makes advanced management capabilities such as A-to-Z
circuit provisioning easy to learn and use. Its explorer-style navigation and extensive use of wizards, tool tips, legends, and online help
allow operators to perform tasks quickly and efficiently. Many otherwise tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone tasks can be fully
streamlined using these intuitive tools.
High Availability for Carrier-Class Management
Cisco Transport Manager is designed for continuous operation. High-availability deployment configurations are available to provide local
and geographic redundancy options. Cisco Transport Manager can cope with heavy load scenarios such as high circuit-transaction rates,
performance-monitoring data collection, alarm storms, and numerous simultaneous clients. Cisco Transport Manager plays a crucial role in
the high availability of the network itself. Cisco Transport Manager's fault-management and performance-management capabilities help to
ensure that network problems are discovered quickly and accurately, so they can be addressed often before a customer's service is
noticeably affected.
One-Stop Management Solution for Low Cost of Ownership
Cisco Transport Manager supports optical network technologies, such as SONET/SDH, long haul, and metro dense wavelength-division
multiplexing (DWDM). These technologies are deployed for transport and services such as DS-1/E1, DS-3/E3, 10/100 Ethernet, Gigabit
Ethernet, and storage networking protocols. In addition Cisco Transport Manager supports IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS)
services delivered from the Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS-1). By covering all the Cisco ONS Family of products along with the
Cisco CRS-1, Cisco XR 12000 Series, Cisco MGX 8880 Media Gateway, and voice-enabled Cisco MGX 8850 and MGX 8830
Multiservice Switches, Cisco Transport Manager eliminates the need to deploy multiple technology-specific EMSs, reducing capital and
operating expenses. Cisco Transport Manager has a global reach—simultaneously it can manage both ANSI and ETSI network elements,
which is ideal for service providers or large enterprises with an international service area.
Cisco Transport Manager is cost-effective, using industry-standard platforms such as Sun Solaris, Oracle, and Microsoft Windows to fit
smoothly into the IT environment of most companies. Its easy installation, smooth administration, and simple user interface also help
decrease cost of ownership. Using scalable Sun server platforms, it is possible to minimize up-front investment but still grow the network
by gradually adding processors, memory, and disk space.
