Enabling End-to-End Customer Assurance
Assurance of Network, Service & Customer Processes
Assurance
• Monitor reliability, performance, and quality of each user connection
& device
• Verify quality of service delivered to the customer
• Respond to customer-reported problems

• Manage customer SLAs
• Monitor reliability, performance, and quality of each service application &
delivery mechanism
• Verify quality of service over the network
• Restore service in the event of a failure
• Manage network-wide service levels
• Monitor reliability, performance, and quality of each network element
• Monitor reliability, performance, and quality of each network connection
• Verify availability, quantity, and quality of bandwidth delivered
• Restore network connectivity and recover bandwidth in the event of a failure

Majority of telecommunication service providers derive measures of customer
assurance from only network and service assurance mechanisms

IBM’s Approach to End-to-End Network, Service & Customer Assurance
Service (QoS/SLA)



Contract
Mgr
Process
Customer
Service Correlation


Relates incoming raw events or
correlated data to defined, end
to end services
Requires establishing a service
model that defines
interdependencies between the
customer, its services and their
underlying infrastructure
SLA
Mgr
Service
Mgr
EMS Level


Looks for deviators
from expected
behavior at the EMS
Level
Requires collecting
metrics and drawing
conclusions across
those metrics so
that only the “true”
service affecting
event is returned to
the operator
console


The service status is driven by the
correlation of all underlying source
events against the service model and
against the SLAs/QoS defined for each
customer and/or service.
Service Level Management aggregates
services into Service Level and Line of
Business Metrics
Topology Correlation
Correlate multiple and often
redundant network/host/app events
with the network topology to indicate
the likely cause of an outage
Event Reduction
Network Problem Management

All customer related service events
compared against contract and identified
gaps are handled per the contract term
Necessary Billing adjustments are
initiated.
Proactive customer interaction

Reduce Identical
events by

canceling out related
“link down” and “link
