NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE OF A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

Network management of a telecommunications network. An external system, such as a cloud computing environment, receives network element data from the network management system of the telecommunications network over a channel that may be encrypted. The network element data are parameter samples that the network management system has collected from one or more network elements within the telecommunications network. The external system then processes at least some of the received network element data. The external system might also receive network element data from other network management systems of other telecommunications networks also. Furthermore, the external system might also have external information not received from the network management system. The external system may perform processing on all of this information in conjunction with the received network element data in order to perform sophisticated analytics.

1. A method for processing network management data in an external system that is outside of a network management system, the method comprising:
an act of receiving network element data from a network management system over a channel into the external system, the network element data being parameter samples taken from one or more network elements that are within a telecommunications network that reports to the network management system; and an act of processing at least some of the received network element data in the external system.
