  6. Introduction to AlvariSTAR AlvariSTAR Overview Basic Components • Application Server • Container for component framework (EJB) including fundamental services to access the infra system communication (HTML, JDBC…) • Support Server side and Client Side logic structure • Mediation Agent • Translates from RMI protocol to SNMP and vice versa • The current version implements the “Mediation Agent” bundled with the Application Server • Database Server • The data warehouse for all AlvariSTAR infrastructure • GUI Client • The client application • RMI – Remote Method Invocation – A set of protocols (Sun JavaSoft) that enables java objects to communicate remotely with other Java objects

  7. Introduction to AlvariSTAR AlvariSTAR Overview Basic Components • Enterprise Application Server (EAS) • Implements Enterprise Java Beans • Uses highly scalable RMI (TCP/IP Protocol based) • Coordinates the interaction of all AlvariSTAR system components • Provides system communication with • Management Sub-Systems • Managed Devices • Runs continuously in the background • Based on JBoss Application Server

  8. Introduction to AlvariSTAR AlvariSTAR Overview Basic Components • Database Server • Enables the storage of network and business objects (Device, Device Configuration, Link, Sector, Cell ,Region, Alarms, Events, PM data etc.) • Enables the regeneration and retrieval of required data

  9. Introduction to AlvariSTAR AlvariSTAR Overview Basic Components • Mediation Agent • Provides services for communication with external systems and devices • Includes a mediation mapped for Alvarion devices’ MIBs • Runs continuously in the background

  10. Introduction to AlvariSTAR AlvariSTAR Overview Basic Components • Client GUI • End-user application (“Thin” application) • Allows user access to AlvariSTAR management information and processes

  11. Introduction to AlvariSTAR AlvariSTAR Functionality • Security • Users • ID/Password • Layered Access • Device Discovery • Device Status/Inventory • Configuration Management • Software Upgrade • Faults Management • Alarm and Event Manager • Performance Collection • Performance Monitoring • Remote CPE Provisioning
