Operators constantly make network configuration changes and this can result in faults; creating security, connectivity and network performance problems.
Network configuration management becomes even more complex when the network is composed of multi-vendor devices and the operator must make changes in the configuration of this devices which are scattered across different manufacturer’s NMS.
Optimise your network configuration managing circuits in the most efficient way
Circuits provide communication between end point devices and allow for the delivery of the service provided by those devices.
SGRwin allows you to create end to end (E2E) multi-vendor circuits in an automated way
For further information regarding any of our features Please ask the SGRwin sales team.
Circuits can be created just by selecting the end points. The system automatically downloads the cross-connection tables of the nodes involved and calculates the available paths. The operator just has to select the most suitable one.
SGRwin reduces the time required for circuit creation from several hours to a few minutes.
Ensure your network and its assets through protected circuits provided by SGRwin
SGRwin can create protected circuits and ensure that protected circuits don’t use shared resources / infrastructures whenever possible. This way, the operator ensures that the protection of the circuit is more resilient to failures.
To provide service resilience, often critical services are provided from two different sites; one main site and a secondary one. For example, SCADAs and RTUs:
SCADA sites are connected to the RTUs by means of two different circuits, often delivered through equipment from different vendors and/or technologies. SGRwin can be notified that those circuit are providing the same service. SGRwin creates a logical link in the system and both circuits are displayed simultaneously on the maps.
Circuits can be assigned a name, customer and service by means of free text fields.
This information will allow the operator to clearly identify the circuit and its purpose. All the circuit information is incorporated in the inventory database. Further, SGRwin implements business intelligence to deliver complex reports to access critical business information.
Network configuration feature allows you to detect circuits with discontinuities
Discontinuities identify a circuit that, for some reason, has less than two end points. A typical reason for this, is a partial dismantling of the hardware of a circuit because it is no longer necessary. Discontinuities mean hardware capacity is left stranded. SGRwin informs the stranded resources in a discontinued circuit. This way, the operator can take corrective measures to the capacity.
