4. Q&A

Challenges
Service Fulfillment
Lack of solution to support service provisioning under the converged
network environment
Lack of the E2E view for available/used resource information in service
provisioning

Resource Data Maintenance

Lack of information management for cross domain and multitechnologies resources
Lack of an efficient method to confirm the accuracy of the resource data

Information Sharing
Lack of a unified entry to guarantee the consistency of the resource
information
Lack of a unified resource database to sharing the information to other
systems

Target
Network should be Visible, Controllable, Analyzable, Traceable

In the future

Participation and contribution of TMF standards

Proposal on converged network inventory management requirements
Standardization of interface between inventory system and other systems
For example, the topology information sharing

Enhance the resource data auto-collected capabilities of

equipments north interface
E.g. Rack, shelf, slot, card , port, etc
