Real-time detection of network anomalies

The objectives:
    The primary objective of the monitoring application is to probe the network to seek-out anomalies in real-time. The purpose is to display the network equipment that is faulty or damaged on a map, as well as all the sub-elements and/or clients that are affected. The monitoring application uses state of the art Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology to link off-line engineering design/balance databases to the real-time world of on-line monitoring. The solution allows for the direct feed of the on-line database from the engineering department, thus navigating in a real geo-referenced database for alarm management.

How does it work?
    It's by using electronic sensors, installed on the equipment, that faults in the operations of the network are detected. Consequently, the equipment displayed by the system is shown using scales and colors representative of the severity of the alarm. The application also allows to perform alarm analysis related to the network connectivity, showing the affected domains.

    Real-time analysis are performed on the alarms in order to filter them and represent the significant ones according to the network configuration. The information on the system comes directly from the production servers of the engineering dapartment. This information includes topologic, graphic and textual data.
