OpsXML is fundamentally a new approach. It is a framework
that enables businesses to create and maintain increased efficiency in their
operational environments and achieve their operational and service business
goals with a maximum Return on Investment (ROI).
OpsXML is an Operations Automation Solution with an
extensible framework that allows the operational staff of Corporates or Service
Providers to automate key processes. It is an integration platform that is
easily extended by developing Service Logic and the corresponding Device CLI in
XML without any programming knowledge. For example, configuring user accounts
across a range of systems and network devices, backing up of network and system
configuration, delivering network services onto network devices, allowing
customers to self-subscribe to services, etc
OpsXML framework achieves its flexibility by adopting
Extensible Markup Language (XML) as the backbone of its functional architecture.
By adopting XML as its foundational format, OpsXML framework leverages the
inherent flexibility of XML in creating common information formats and data.
This frees the OpsXML framework from any ‘hardwired-ness’ and at once creates an
openness that is flexible, configurable and maintainable.
OpsXML makes tasks “data-oriented,” rather than
“application-oriented.” All the operational tasks are specified in terms of
'Intents, which are in XML. Intents specify the 'what', 'when', 'where' and
'how' for each task.
OpsXML can manage any device that is connected to the network
via IP. In the case of non-IP devices, a terminal server can be used to provide
the IP connectivity.
