Selected Features
Advanced Graphical User Interface. Use
Q3ADE3G's advanced graphical user interface and finally leave the
era of command/text based management. Provides interactive graphical
maps with animation of the alarm status and resource meters.
Configure your own graphical map views of pretty much any
information available through Q3ADE 3G. Do it interactively
"on-the-fly" by drag-dropping information objects to a map and
tailor the presentation of the information to your needs. Check our
Screen Shots.
GeoLocation. The GeoLocation feature
enables registration of the geographical location of equipment and
users as well. Various functions enables you to combine this
information, for example to optimize the assignment of incident
resolution tasks to technicians based on the location of the
affected equipment and the location of the technicians right now.
Pull up Google Maps to display the location of equipment on the map
and suggest a shortest route to it.
Service availability
Monitoring
. Monitors the availability
of services on the network through individual polling. Raises alarms
on availability failure and collects availability statistics. Graphs
with 24H, 7D, 30D and 365D availability
figures.
Resource
Monitoring . Monitors host resources, like disk space,
CPU'se and memory, Printer toner usage levels, room temperatures
etc. Generates alarms
when e.g. the disk usage is higher than 90% or the printer toner is
low. Animate the state of the resource usage by meters or
graphs. As an example of the versatility of Q3ADE 3G, we have added
a component monitoring Sensatronics
environmental sensors for room temperature and humidity.
Monitor Windows Event
Logs . Monitors the Event Logs
of Windows Servers for errors and warnings. Alarms are generated
accordingly.
Manage
Alarms History . Logs
and maintains alarm history, i.e.
information about the alarm and its "lifecycle", like the content of the
original alarm event, when it was cleared, if the operator has seen
it (i.e. acknowledged it), repeated alarm events etc.
Alert by Mail . An alert mail may be issued automatically to
any number of mail addresses with information about specific alarms,
when they occur.
Incident Management/Trouble
Ticket Management. Bring the management of technical incidents in
your system to a higher professional level with the Incident Manager
of Q3ADE. Tracks the Incident Resolution Process through its phases
from the detection of the problem to the resolution of the problem.
Generate reports with MTTR's and detailed information about the
frequency of specific problems and the time it takes to repair them.
Read more about the Incident Management in the IMGR
folder.
Generate Inventory
Reports. A range of predefined inventory reports
may be produced, like disk usage statistics, Internet address
usage, Availability statistics reports on various key
services.
Auto-discovery of
equipment, services. Automatically detects and recognizes
equipment on the network and the services/applications available on
the equipment. Reduces the configuration time significantly. You may
be up running wihthin 30 minutes from
installation.
Localization Support. Support for
multiple languages on the same server installation. I.e. the same
server may serve users with different language preferences.
A
specialized web server.
The Q3ADE 3G platform provides
management information access through its build-in web server
function. You may design customized web-services using a general
purpose web designer tool.
Multi-User
Support and end-to-end security. Several hundreds of users may
access the Q3ADE 3G Server at the same time from remote
workstations. It only requires a Q3Browser or a web browser,
depending on the application. Each user has his/her own individual
login account with individual settings with respect to access
rights, presentation profiling, language preference, access
profiling etc..
Manage
equipment with SNMP,
TL1 and CLI protocols like Telnet,
SSH, RSH, HTTP. Q3ADE 3G is a general purpose management
platform, where you can add your own management scripts to operate
on equipment through a range of legacy management protocols as well
as using S.O.A web technology.
Integrates
with 3'rd party CORBA and Q3/CMIP Applications . Supports
the CORBA and Q3/CMIP protocols used by various Telecom Equipment
Vendors.
Remote
Telnet and SSH access through Q3ADE 3G. Some equipment require
direct telnet access, e.g. to tailor settings in the equipment. Q3ADE 3G act as
a secure gateway/tunnel, through which the user gain access from a remote
location to the equipment behind the company firewall.
Export/Import to/from other
applications. Data may be exported
to any ODBC enabled database and equally imported by simple
scripting operations. Interacts with high-end TMN applications through Q3/CMIP, CORBA
and HTTP/XML.
Applications
Why use Q3ADE 3G?
Q3ADE 3G is a one
stop-shopping solution.
You get all the basic functionality you need for managing practically any type of network
equipment in one integrated application.
Q3ADE 3G enables integrated
network management.
Q3ADE 3G integrates and unifies real-time system information from many types of
information sources into a single user interface abstracting the
underlying technologies, e.g. protocols, security schemes etc..
Valuable real-time system information becomes available at your hand
to an unprecedented degree.
Q3ADE 3G is highly adaptable.
Q3ADE 3G offers an impressive
range of utilities that enables tailoring of practically any feature
of Q3ADE 3G to your needs. This includes direct interactive
assignment of language specific titles and help information on any
information object, interactive creation of maps and customized
web-based user interfaces using a dynamic web interface language. It
requires only basic HTML skills to create advanced web-based
services in no time.
Q3ADE 3G is designed for scalability.
It runs on simple PC hardware and multicore CPU as well as on huge multi-processor Sun
installations. It runs on multiple distributed hosts to scale
capacity even further. The typical peak transaction capacity starts
at 100 TPS (transactions per second) on a low-grade retail PC and
exceeds 10.000 TPS on a multi-host Sun cluster.
Q3ADE 3G cost scales with capacity requirements.
The license price of Q3ADE 3G scales with the number of services enabled and the
number of concurrently managed equipment or users attached. Hence,
the price for a single user/single equipment configuration is
considerably lower than a high-end multi-user/multi-equipment
configuration. You may start a zero cost with the fee license included with the Q3ADE 3G Download.
Requirements
-
Windows NT/2000, Sun Sparc + Solaris or Red Hat Linux*)
-
1 GB RAM + min. 100 MB Free HD space.
