The popular of smart phones and computers and the fast development of cloud computing
have accelerates the growth in bandwidth requirements. Also video and other new
broadband services leads to explosive network traffic growth. The evolution to All-IP and
ultra-broadband network becomes the trend. Such fast development of network has
brought great challenges to network operation and maintenance:
Network convergence and complexity leads to high OPEX. How to reduce the
O&M cost and ensure smooth network transformation?
Increasing network scale leads to high work load of operation and maintenance,
how to improve the O&M efficiency and enhance the value the network?
New technologies leads to different O&M requirement, how to fulfill rapid O&M
transition and guarantee smooth development of new services and new
technologies?
Base on deep understanding of network and services and rich experiences on operation
and maintenance, Huawei U2000, unified, efficient and future-ready O&M solution, helps
operators cope with the O&M challenges to reduce the cost, improve the efficiency and
enhance the value of the network.

Unified Management
The U2000 is an unified management platform for all the network equipment provided by
Huawei. It can manage transport equipments, access equipments, IP equipments
(including switches and PTN equipment),core equipments in a centralized manner.
In 2008, Huawei first proposed the concept of unified management in the industry and
launched the first commercial project in 2009 which leading the industry development
trend to the unified management. Till the end of 2011, Huawei U2000 unified
cross-domain management system has already deployed by 10+ tier 1 carriers and more
than 100 carriers successfully to help All-IP and FMC network evolution. And also, Huawei
U2000 has deployed the No.1 largest-scale unified project, achieving centralized O&M
and highly reducing O&M costs.

Smart O&M

Efficient deployment

Visualized E2E service provisioning: U2000 provides visualized GUI-Based service

provisioning. The service can be configured by just selecting the source, the sink and the
parameters. This can highly improve the provisioning efficiency and decrease the
personnel skill requirement.
The U2000 provides the E2E scheduling capability for full services such as the IP service,
WDM service, MSTP service, microwave service, and access service. U2000 can support
E2E service provisioning for typical scenarios, such as microwave+IP, transport+IP,
PON+IP leased lines. The service provisioning time is precise to seconds, which fully
meets the fast development of customer services.
Unified domain management GUIs and E2E maintenance simplify the coordination work
between operation and maintenance departments.

Rich service configuration templatesRich predefine scenario-based templates are

provided. All related parameters can be configured in one GUI. Also the engineer can
define the customized template for the experience sharing and efficiency improvement.
Flexible service configuration: Batch configuration, copy configuration, automatic route
calculation, automatic resource allocation are supported, which can help to ensure the
network load balance.

Efficient troubleshooting

Massive alarms management Most (85% to 90%) of the invalid alarms can be filtered
out using various filtering methods such as engineering alarm indication, transient alarms
suppression, alarm correlation analysis and alarm aggregation. The root alarms are
highlighted thus highly improving the troubleshooting efficiency.
Service-oriented fault managementThe alarms can be correlated to the service
directly and the service route is visualized. All these can help to find out the network point
of service deterioration and solve the problem quickly.
Automatic intelligent fault diagnosis: Rich embedded experience base, automatic fault
diagnosis for typical fault, and minutes-level fault location are fulfilled.

Efficient OSS integration

U2000 provides rich standard northbound interfaces, such as SNMPCorbaFTP etc. to

meet different OSS integration requirement.
U2000 also provides service-oriented MTOSI northbound interfaces. The MTOSI
northbound interface is complied with MTOSI 2.0. The unified protocol , architecture and
model can highly improve the integration efficiency and shorten the integration duration by
more than 20%.
Huawei has established strategic cooperation with mainstream OSS vendors including
co-development, co-verification , pre-integration etc. to provide joint OSS solution. The
cooperation has already covered more than 75% of the top 50 global carriers. The U2000
can implement fast NBI integration and provides abundant data for upper-layer network
management systems which can help a lot for fast time to market and success service
operation.

Future-Ready

LTE ReadyRapid O&M transition

Plug and play, fast deployment: In LTE bear network, the number of box devices is
huge and the deployment environment is poor. U2000 provides hardware plug and play,
software remote commission to highly increase the deployment efficiency and decrease
the deployment cost.

Unified clock view, Automatic Compensation for Fiber Asymmetry: LTE network has
high synchronization requirement. Clock asynchronization will have great effect on the
network. U2000 provides visualized clock topology and clear clock tracing relationship
which can help to find out the clock asynchronization quickly. U2000 can also provide
automatic clock compensation for fiber asymmetry, avoiding the onsite clock adjustment.
Sites.
Visualized O&M, fast personnel skill transition: Visualized service provisioning,
visualized network performance and SDH-like operation helps fast O&M transition.

IP+Optical Readycoordinated O&M

Visualized IP+Optical hierarchical path: The industry unique IP+Optical cross-layer

management function of U2000 can display the hierarchical service path and the path
status of each layer.

Intelligent IP+Optical fault diagnosis: When the optical layer is wrong, affected services
of IP layer can be recognized directly. U2000 can fulfill automatic fault location with high
accuracy and high efficiency. Comparing with manual fault diagnosis, the fault location
duration can decrease from 1 hour to 5 minutes.
U2000 IP+Optical coordinated O&M help to operate and maintain IP and optical network
efficiently and ensure the smooth transformation to flat network.

Cloud-platform Readymaximum long term ROI

Scalable system architecture: U2000 has scalable system architecture. Different

combinations of modules meet different network requirements. U2000 can support
scalable capacity expansion and flexible transition from managing single-domain (IP,
transport, or access domain) equipment to managing multi-domain ((IP, transport, or
access domains)) equipment.
Virtualization deployment: U2000 supports virtualization deployment to improve the IT
resource utilization, simplify the IT system management and reduce the investment for IT
system, which can fully meet the evolution to cloud platform.

Success Story

Belgium Mobistar
Mobistar is a subnet of France Telecom and the second largest mobile carrier of Belgium.
In the past, the T2000, N2000 BMS, and N2000 DMS coexist on the network of Mobistar.
The launch of the U2000 is a great match for Mobistar's concept of reducing OPEX. Thus,
Mobistar decides to use the U2000 as the unified network management systems for IP,
transport, and access equipment.
According to Mobistar, the U2000 offers the following benefits:

The U2000 can manage the IP, transport, and access equipment in a unified
manner, which improves the efficiency of network operation and maintenance and
reduces the costs of network operation and maintenance.

With fast E2E service deployment and precise fault location capabilities, the U2000
meets the requirement of FMC network development and highly improves the customers
loyalty.

The U2000 can be upgraded from the T2000, N2000 DMS, or N2000 BMS smoothly.
In this way, the existing hardware resource and investment can be re-used.
