netObserver

A real-time network monitoring tool that would be developed to handle configuration management. The function of this tool is to provide the network engineer with up-to-date information that will allow them the ability to diagnose and resolve network issues. The netObserver will contain multiple displays of the network topology. It will allow the user the ability to view the WAN/LAN down to the virtual circuit level. The netObserver has another feature called auto-discovery, a process by which systems and networks are automatically detected to determine what exists on the network. For GenéSys^TM netObserver, this means identifying devices on the network; determining the type of the device, and how these devices are interconnected and the services available on the device. Auto-Discovery is a valuable component of any operations management solution as it reduces the time it takes to network operators to configure network. It will reduce the provisioning and troubleshooting efforts on a network or service.

Engineous

This is the engine of the GenéSys^TM product suite and is where all the data is collated and distributed to the application layers. The middleware is developed using java and C++ and will include a API (e.g. CORBA and XML) for easy integration into the Operational Support System (OSS) module.
