MetaView Explorer

MetaView Explorer is a Java-based client that significantly enhances your ability to reduce operational costs even as you introduce compelling new services into your network. As powerful in its management capabilities as it is intuitive, MetaView Explorer provides provisioning, configuration, fault reporting, statistics and trouble shooting services across the entire Metaswitch product range, including MetaSphere, CommPortal, Universal Media Gateway and Media Resource Server. What's more, it also offers a number of unique capabilities that address the particular challenges of trouble-shooting, device configuration and service quality control.

Powerful Management Tools

MetaView Explorer comprises a suite of very powerful features that simplify the management of your Metaswitch network.

• Logical, Hierarchical View – The MetaView Explorer client presents the entire network as a logical hierarchy of elements, from entire switches down to individual subscribers.
• Network-wide fault management – MetaView collects, correlates and reports alarms across multiple Metaswitch call agent, media gateway and signaling gateway components, MetaSphere application servers, and selected third-party equipment.
• SOAP/XML integration – MetaView simplifies automation and integration into third-party management systems via a northbound interface. The XML interface also incorporates support for the IMS Home Subscriber Server (HSS) Sh interface, facilitating integration with third-party application servers.
• Advanced diagnostics – These include real-time voice quality monitoring of statistics and system resource utilization (down to the level of individual processors, disks and trunk interfaces on each system), with configurable alarm thresholds. In addition, MetaView provides a comprehensive diagnostics interface, via our Service Assurance Server. This allows your administrators to store the diagnostics for all calls, for later analysis in the event a customer reports a fault. Together, these tools enable your to easily research the cause of a specific fault and proactively address any network capacity issues before they impact your customer.
• "Out-of-the-box" integrated provisioning – Rapidly and easily deploy new services on Metaswitch and MetaSphere platforms without the cost of interfacing multiple systems into a third-party NMS. The available SIP Provisioning Server further accelerates the provisioning of SIP communication devices.
• Dynamic Scripting – A Java/Python-based real-time scripting interface allows you to easily and quickly handle bulk provisioning and management tasks.
• Profiles and Templates – Subscribers are easily provisioned using customized templates. These templates simplify provisioning through use of wizard-like workflows that guide your operators through the process of setting up a new user. Subscribers can also be assigned a persistent profile so that any updates to the profile are automatically applied.
• Bullet-Proof Security – The highest standards of security are applied throughout MetaView with session encryption, multiple account types, secure password rules, and a comprehensive audit trail of activity.
