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. Cisco Transport Manager’s 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 additional processors, memory, and disk space.
Northbound Interfaces for Operations Automation
Industry-standard Transaction Language One (TL1), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and Common Object Request Broker
Architecture (CORBA) protocols make Cisco Transport Manager a flexible building block in traditional as well as next-generation OSS
infrastructures. Cisco Transport Manager not only captures and stores all relevant information from the optical transport domain, it also makes
that information and its management available to higher-layer OSSs using open communications protocols. For example, the TeleManagement
Forum-compliant CORBA northbound interface of Cisco Transport Manager facilitates the implementation of the next generation of inventory
management, provisioning, flow-through circuit management, and service assurance.
