OSS Interoperability between EMS and NMS has reached great heights with the introduction of CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture).
In the event of hardware or software malfunctions, crashes, runtime errors and system boot failure, the element manager phones home and automatically generates a maintenance request.
The use of standards-based mechanisms such as SNMP and Syslog ensures full integration with today's network management systems and provides a unified view of system-wide functionality.
The standard definitions and mappings allow operations systems to gather state information from NEs and integrate it into a consistent representation of the status of the entire managed network and each of the services that it supports.
The state of an entity represents the current condition of availability of the underlying resource or service in the NE from the point of view of management.
