Real-Time Reporting

The EchoVault SLA EMS system architecture was designed from the ground-up to provide real-time, precise KPI reporting. Carrier-grade and scalable from metro to nationwide networks, the EchoVault platform builds on the advanced packet processing capabilities of EtherNID ™ and MetroNID ™ demarcation units, extending this level of performance to large-scale, centralized SLA monitoring.

To provide real-time reporting and fault management, the communication EchoAgent ™ on EtherNID and MetroNID units pushes SLA KPIs and traffic statistics to one or more local controllers every second – sampling 300x faster than SNMP-based polling. To reduce telemetry bandwidth usage and delays to negligible levels, the EchoAgent applies propriety data compression to data before transmission. Optionally redundant, local controllers provide scalability, load-balancing and geographic diversity to ensure resilient data collection.

EchoVault SLA EMS’ carrier-grade deployment architecture

Local controllers forward monitoring data to the EchoVault server, which processes and stores KPIs and usage statistics for all SLAs and service end-points in the network. SLA QoS alarm forwarding sends SNMP traps to fault management systems in real-time as performance degrades – hundreds of times faster than other systems that typically collect data from test probes every 15 minutes.

The EchoTables ™ & EchoCharts ™ data publishing engines provide real-time visualization of SLA-Meter ™ and Traffic-Meter ™ reporting Spotlights via the SLA EMS web-interface, and are easily configured to publish dynamic charts and tables to web-based customer portals.
