The key issues involved in developing on-device telecommunications network management systems for carrier-grade enterprise and operator networks are the same for any other networked resource, only with more complexity and built-in restrictions due to the limited space and processing capabilities inherent to these types of devices.
Increasing levels of complexity and converging industry requirements are the key factors that are continuing to shape this unique industry segment. The number of network devices and their form factors are proliferating. In addition to appliances and Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) compliant chassis products, blade servers are being increasingly adopted for networking applications. The growth in the number of network devices requires multiple devices to be configured and supported for high availability frameworks.
The requirements for on-device telecommunications network management systems will be reviewed in the context of the business and technical expectations of network operators that drive these requirements and their network environmental demands.
