Network service providers face increasing challenges in managing networks, including high rates of growth and change, heterogeneous technologies and services, cost constraints, and pressure to accelerate new application and service deployment. Consequently, operational risks are increasing.

The traditional approach to network management involves multiple point tools, each providing insight into a limited part of the network. Consequently, network operators find it difficult to quickly assess the impact of performance bottlenecks and network outages, to enable rapid diagnosis and troubleshooting.

OPNET nCompass™ for Service Providers provides a unified, graphical visualization of large, heterogeneous production networks, including devices, their interconnectivity, traffic, and status. nCompass for Service Providers unifies data from a wide range of network management tools, providing consolidated views for more intuitive and productive navigation and analysis. nCompass for Service Providers’s geographical network dashboard is dynamically updated with real-time operational information. Third-party tools and programmed scripts can be launched from its console for deeper drill-down and assisted troubleshooting.

Visualize real-time topology, traffic, events and status in a single view.
