ACI Cross Domain Manager
The substantial property of the ACI Cross Domain Manager is its ability to form one homogenous system out of the individual element managers. The ACI CDM realizes the only access point to the ACI Management system for the user and in future releases also for external OSSs. The CDM will then hide changes in the configuration of the ACI management system caused by adding new element managers. The operator as well as an OSS just see the managed network elements and are given access to these. The fact that the real access to a network element is always routed via the responsible element manager is totally invisible to the user.
Supported Element Managers
The ACI Cross Domain Manager uses the ACI standard CORBA interface to connect to the element managers. Thus, basically all element managers, which support this standard CORBA interface, may be connected to the Cross Domain Manager. As all these combinations have to be tested every combination has to be explicitly released. Currently the ACI Cross Domain Manager supports the following element managers:
- EM hiX 5x00
- EM AMGW
- EM MSAP
- EM-ONU-S
- EM-Gen
- EM hiD (ATM switches)
- DM V8.3
- ACI-E Carrier Ethernet element manager applications for
- hiX 56xx (DSLAM)
- hiX 57xx (GPON)
- hiD 661x (small switches)
- hiD 66x0 (metro switches)
