Virtuora® Network Management Suite
A Unified System for Optimal Service Delivery and Network Perfomance

Effective network management demands multiple methods to
ensure that traffic is handled with the speed, reliability, and
capacity appropriate to the applications and services that
traverse it. Key factors, such as cost constraints and different
blends of capacity, latency, and reliability, must be controlled to
ensure delivery of the right amount of bandwidth for the right
purposes.
At a time when technology is advancing rapidly and becoming
more complex, a unified network fabric is essential to satisfying
your customers’ growing demands for new, more flexible, faster
communications service.
With Virtuora solutions, network architects can build this unified
fabric and create networks that deliver services to market faster,
more efficiently, and more profitably. Virtuora can also enable
you to automatically tune and optimize the network elements
(NEs) in the network to proactively prepare for, and even
prevent performance degradations. Powerful element, fault,
and performance management capabilities, combined with advanced
analytics, optimize service delivery in a complex, multilayered network.
The Virtuora Network Management Suite provides the following:
■■ Element

■■ Fault Correlation
■■ Performance Management
■■ Network Analytics
■■ Fault

Element Management
Element management provides a view of the network element
configuration inventory and manages NEs and their operations.
Fault Management and Correlation
The Fault Management and Correlation application detects and isolates
network element problems. The application monitors performance data
from multiple NEs, providing information that can be used to initiate
corrective actions. When a fault occurs, the Fault Management and
Correlation application Identifies the root cause and then creates an
alarm that can be cleared by launching a script automatically, or by
notifying technicians to intervene manually.

The Virtuora Network Management Suite uses Apache Hadoop for highrate transactions like performance management and alarm collection.
Hadoop’s ability to store and analyze large data sets in parallel on a
large cluster of computers yields exceptional performance, while taking
advantage of low-cost commodity hardware.
Performance Management
The Performance Management application optimizes NE performance
and efficiency. Variables such as throughput, load, service demands,
and demand elasticity are collected and analyzed by the compute
engine.
Network Analytics
The Network Analytics application uses data collection and analysis to
ensure the most efficient use of network resources.
The Virtuora Network Management Suite uses Apache Spark’s general
compute engine to analyze Hadoop data. The Virtuora solution uses
Hadoop and Spark to analyze and correlate alarms and performance
data back to network elements, links, and circuits.

Virtuora Network Management Suite Architecture,
including Network Elements (NEs)

Beyond the Baseline: Value-Added SDN/NFV Services
Integration
Fujitsu offers expert support to assist with end-to-end automation and
integration of all system elements, including network elements,
management functions, controllers and orchestrators.
Verification
Validation testing in a multivendor environment presents complex
challenges because of the unpredictable ways in which components
from multiple vendors interact, as well as the need to engage different
design and engineering groups to analyze issues. As new products are
identified for deployment, Fujitsu can conduct validation testing in a
secure, vendor neutral laboratory under your direction and control.
Fujitsu takes the lead in developing test plans based on customer
requirements, executing the test program, and reviewing final reports
with all parties involved. All interoperability testing is structured to
ensure the combinations meet all customer requirements and planned
deployment guidelines.

Platform Integration
Virtuora NC provides a REST interface supporting all functionality
available in a Fujitsu SDN solution. These REST interfaces can be used to
integrate into other components within the SDN ecosystem. The Fujitsu
team can analyze the systems to be integrated and develop interface
mapping to support custom functionality beyond that of the Virtuora
platform.
YANG Model Development and Maintenance
YANG modeling is utilized to model behavior between various layers of
the SDN solution. As new services and components are added to the
SDN architecture, the YANG models need to be updated to include
support for these changes. Fujitsu can provide new or updated YANG
models based on new service definitions, new or updated equipment,
and other changes. The new YANG models can then be used in the SDN
environment to provide the new or updated functionality.
