High-performance solution for building custom centralized management systems

The Centralized Management Platform (CMP) is a recent addition to the Calian family of NMS products. Calian has leveraged decades of experience building network management products in designing the CMP from the ground up. CMP is a foundation for building custom centralized management systems, providing the most critical features of a centralized management system in an extensible, high-performance, streamlined package suitable for deployment in  both public and private cloud networks.

Configurable and customizable

Incorporating requirements, inputs and feedback from hundreds of operators, engineers and managers, Calian has devised a centralized monitoring solution with the most valuable features and functionality sought after in high-level out-of-the-box network management systems. 

In addition, CMP provides a high degree of configurability and numerous integration options for new custom services. The combination of built-in features, configurability, and customization within CMP provides customers with an extensive array of options for both large and small enterprises. A wide variety of assets can be managed through CMP.

Manage thousands of assets with one out-of-the-box solution

The list of potential assets includes everything from low-level equipment and devices to user terminals, backend systems, management systems and monitoring systems. Those assets cover many of the areas needed to successfully operate and manage communication networks, including communications equipment and facilities, ground- based access stations, terrestrial communication links, operational facilities, operational support, reporting and others. 

When combined with the Calian Mon-A-Co Edge monitor and control system, the list of assets that can be managed out-of-the-box reaches into the thousands.

Observability, troubleshooting and anomaly detection

CMP features informative, rich, web-based dashboards, with feature-rich data graphing and trending. User-configurable data aggregation, derivation and organization supports the creation of new data from ingested data. The platform allows health criteria to be defined for any or all data. Static and dynamic data hierarchies propagate and summarize health status information.

The CMP supports the creation of new holistic views with drill-down capabilities as well as time-tagged data with long-term support for long-term retention and data down sampling. Centralized log aggregation features useful dashboards with search and filter facilities.
