WebNMS's end-to-end TMF solutions encompass TMF enabled
EMS solutions and mediation. The TMF standards set forth by
the TeleManagement Forum enables easy interoperability in
multi-vendor multi-technology environments. In management
infrastructures where NEs and EMS/NMS systems based on different
standards and protocols have to interwork among themselves
and with northbound OSS systems, a standard interface will
ease integration. Large incumbents service providers like
AT&T, Worldcom and equipment vendors like Lucent and Fujitsu
have successfully leveraged the TMF standards to drive easy
interoperability and operations.
Early momentum for TMF adoption has been driven by network
elements in the SONET/SDH and DWDM domains with some limited
adoption in the ATM world.
