OmniVista 2700 NMS Application

The OmniVista 2700 Supplemental Applications are optional software applications that include:

• OmniVista 2730 - PolicyView with OneTouch QoS

• OmniVista 2752 - SecureView Secure Access with OneTouch security

• OmniVista 2770 – Quarantine Manager with OneTouch Security

• Automation for containment management

These applications can be added to the OmniVista environment as desired to extend the capabilities of OmniVista NMS.

OmniVista 2730 PolicyView with OneTouch QoS : simplifies the complex task of configuring QoS and enables enhanced policy-based management across multiple devices through OneTouch simplicity. The parameters are set once and distributed to the devices. This reduces the number of interfaces needed for configuring QoS for VoIP and time critical data operations. Three modes of operation are available:

• OneTouch for voice, which simplifies quality of service   (QoS) configurations for voice over Internet Protocol   (VoIP) networking
• OneTouch for data, which allows selected servers to   receive high priority
• Management for simplified setup of a centralized   repository (such as an LDAP directory), users, passwords,   access rights, etc. OV2752 provides a comprehensive   knowledge of who has access to what from a central   location while minimizing human errors through   automation.

OmniVista 2752 SecureView Secure Access offers:
• Centralizes control of switch administration access rights and policies with OneTouch manageability.
• OV2752 provides control over who, what, how, and when users and devices are allowed into the network.
• Expert Mode, which provides complete control of QoS

OmniVista 2752 is part of Alcatel - Lucent's overall security strategy called CrystalSec, which is the security framework and architecture for Alcatel - Lucent's switches. Security is provided between each network layer allowing organizations to create multiple layers of defense around important assets while leveraging

OmniVista 2770 Quarantine Manager with OneTouch Security for containment management: The Quarantine Manager (QM) simplifies and provides security management and automates attack containment by quarantining them and eliminating their threats. Rules and decisions can be pre-configured (“canned triggers”) with OneTouch automation of handling a security event once it is detected. Detection and notification of a security breach are initiated from IDS/IPS external devices. The notification (traps) can also be sent by Alcatel - Lucent AOS devices when under attack (denial of service). These alerts are handled either through the pre-configured (“canner triggers”) quarantine decisions or manually through the expert mode. The quarantine process consists of isolating the offending intruders by pushing them into a dedicated quarantine VLAN based on the MAC-address of the non-compliant user.

The network administrator has complete control over the quarantine operations through a user interface that provides status and override capabilities. There is also a candidate list window for screening potential intruders before isolating and banning them. There are also windows for the intruders that are automatically banned, never banned, and a release window for threats that have been assessed and dismissed or because the device now conforms.

The OV2770-QM has extensive quarantine history log files and provides Mac / IP tracing associations for troubleshooting and intrusion control. It extends Alcatel - Lucent NMS benefits such as centralization and automation, and offers OneTouch security reducing the complexity of pre-configured alert notifications and containment rules.

Summary

Alcatel - Lucent's OmniVista delivers the best value in the industry by providing simplified management that creates a secure, reliable network infrastructure. Implementing OmniVista reduces overall administrative costs, reduces downtime, and minimizes the maintenance required, which results in an improved return on investment.

OmniVista provides better network availability by anticipating potential risks and reacting to important events there is less downtime, improved productivity, and less financial exposure.

Moreover, simplified management operations coupled with a consistent set of tools across all network devices, minimizes the difficulty of implementing and monitoring the network infrastructure.

Finally, by controlling the access to the network, OmniVista network management protects your infrastructure from attacks and security risks.
