Next-Generation Switch/Router Diagnostics and Debugging

Tags:
switching

Overview The goal for a next-generation diagnostics and debugging system for switch/routers is to improve system uptime and availability by preventing the occurrence of certain types of hard errors (increasing system MTBF) and by improving fault isolation and resolution time (reducing MTTR). These improvements can be realized by augmenting traditional reactive diagnostics with proactive, autonomous components that can run in the background or can be triggered by events rather than being initiated under operator command.

Through the fog… Management of utility IT

Higher level monitoring and fault resolution need to interoperate with facilities at lower levels. Third, a management platform should be proactive, not just reactive. Once a problem has been identified, its resolution should also be made as simple...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
