IPAM

An exciting new IP Address Management solution that manages and tracks IP address allocations over multiple networks, integrating with backend OSSs.

A multi-tiered application written in Java for platform independence, IPAM:

• Provides service providers with a complete "out-of-the-box" IP address management solution integrated with the Core System
• Enables users to allocate, assign, and manage IP addresses across their entire distributed network infrastructure
• Delivers multiple IP management functions (including address status and ownership, variable length subnet masking, and network address translation)
• Honors Core System's user profiling, security, and reporting mechanisms.

IPAM takes full advantage of the Core System's administration capabilities, directly ties Core System sites and equipment to IP address resources, and allows for easy access to IP address information from IPAM, the Core System. Unifying the Core System with this powerful IP address manager tool provides an unmatched IP address management solution in the marketplace today.

With voice and data networks rapidly migrating to IP, and with the immense growth of the Internet, IP addresses are at a premium. Consequently, IP address assignment and management is becoming an increasingly vital component to service providers, who require an IP address management tool that integrates with their backend Operations Support Systems (OSSs)-a significant capability missing from existing standalone IP address management tools. With IPAM you will have a solution that addresses this urgent requirement.
