4 Real-Time Performance Monitoring Performance monitoring provides end-toend visibility into service performance to insure that customer SLAs are met. Pro- Vision incorporates flexible real-time data collection mechanisms that can poll a large number of devices and thresholds can be set to generate user-defined alarms based on polling data. Real-time and historic performance monitoring is based on MEF Service Operations, Administration and Management (SOAM) as well as applicable ITU-T and IEEE standards. SLA Reporting and Analytics Periodic reports are required as proof of service delivery for mobile back-haul or business services. Pro-Vision analytics engine analyzes the results and generates reports in PDF, Excel or HTML file format. Users can generate daily, weekly, or monthly reports on-demand. Pro-Vision enables selection of multiple report types including: SOAM, SLA metrics, device inventory and others in graph, chart or tabular formats. 4

5 Customer Web Portals Visibility into service performance is provided through customer web portal features that allow customer monitoring of service performance from the web browser based on service provider defined views. It provides customizable visibility into customer SLA performance data through an intuitive GUI dashboard. OPTICAL TRANSPORT SERVICE MANAGEMENT Pro-Vision provides a common service management framework to enable orchestration of the full service lifecycle for Optical Transport WDM and OTN services utilizing MRV s OptiDriver and FiberDriver platform families. Automatic path computation with impairment awareness allows for simplified service creation and helps reduce activation times for ROADM-based as well as traditional WDM-based services. Additional troubleshooting tools such as service-level PRBS testing and Enhanced Optical Channel Monitoring allow technicians to quickly isolate faults, simplify network planning, and improve the end-users quality of experience.

6 Automated Circuit Configuration and Monitoring Whether the service will utilize complex multi-degree ROADM-based networks or more traditional static WDM topologies - automated path detection and impairment awareness allow new Optical Transport circuits to be created with just a few clicks. Optical power balancing for ROADM modules adjusts power of individual optical channels to minimize potential impairments Once a circuit is defined, it can be monitored to check the health of the circuit end to end, including ability to define thresholds and generate alarms. Circuit monitoring allows Pro- Vision to pro-actively track and alert on the status and performance of each circuit, including key metrics such as circuit availability, Rx/Tx power, temperature, as well as utilization for OTN circuits. Optical Transport Network (OTN) Services Pro-Vision enables Optical Transport Network (OTN) services with performance monitoring with history and threshold settings supports management of optical modules that enable the user to visualize Forward Error Correction (FEC) and OTN OAM performance statistics. Point-topoint and ring-based transport architectures using muxponder and transponder functions are supported. Enhanced Optical Channel Monitoring This Pro-Vision application provides visual real-time as well as continuous proactive monitoring and reporting of the DWDM spectrum health and performance as well as channel occupancy. It helps operators detect signal degradations, faults, as well as security breaches, while at the same time enabling easy at-a-glance inventory of available DWDM channels for new service activations. COMMON PACKET AND OPTICAL MANAGEMENT FEATURES Pro-Vision is designed to improve operational efficiency by unifying the management of packet switching equipment and optical transport equipment.
