Cisco Video Assurance Management Solution 1.5
Solution Value Proposition
Q.
What is Cisco
®
Video Assurance Management Solution (VAMS) 1.5?
A.
Cisco VAMS 1.5 delivers to service providers real-time centralized monitoring of their
backbone, regional, and aggregation networks for video transport. Cisco VAMS 1.5 focuses
on broadcast video over multicast. Support for unicast services across the transport network is
targeted for future release. Cisco Video Assurance Management Solution 1.5 also provides
the framework for a flexible end-to-end assurance platform for video.
Q.
What video transport issues does the system address?
A.
VAMS is targeted at:
●
Identifying video continuity errors
●
Identifying whether continuity errors are caused by the transport network or whether the
transport network can be eliminated as a source for these errors
●
Reducing the problem domain to identify where in the transport path the video service has
been affected
●
Correlate transport network anomalies with video anomaly detection, facilitating problem
isolation and diagnosis
Q.
How does Cisco VAMS integrate with my existing OSS environment?
A.
Cisco VAMS is a modular architecture (Figure 1). The goal is to allow the customer to choose
which aspects of the solution are appropriate and to work with Cisco Advanced Services to
define how this integrates with the existing NMS/OSS environment. We have chosen a
number of products to provide a fully tested, preintegrated solution reference architecture.
Customers may choose to purchase the entire reference architecture with installation and
deployment services only or may choose to take components of the VAMS solution with
integration services as required.
