Device Management System - The Basic Facts

The Device Management System or DMS is a reliable and scalable management system which provides efficient and consistent device management for the big amount of service consumptions of video and voice over “IP CPE” devices. The system is provided with qualities of an “Element Management System” or EMS for the configuration of MIB, device monitoring, alarm, fault and event management.

Additionally, this device management system complements the initiated provisioning of the devices for real time firmware upgrade and device configuration through providing asynchronous system. This system is even capable of managing those devices which are deployed behind firewall or NAT routers. Generally, proactive monitoring system is used by the companies to manage the client’s device management system. This proactive monitoring system plays a great role to tune the database server of the device management system.

Areas that can be monitored by the device management system are:

  • SNMP monitoring
  • Server monitoring
  • Monitoring of the storage system
  • Application and database monitoring
  • Features of a device management system:

Redundant architecture and highly scalable- The DMS system is developed on a couple of redundant, dual servers with joint RAID storage. This load balancing architecture of the device management system has made it highly scalable.

Access of remote devices- The device management system creates efficient and reliable tunnels to permit accessing, controlling, remote device monitoring and configuring remote devices by using SNMP or native interfaces of devices such as Web and Telnet.

Convenient device searching and sorting- The device management system offers an efficient and a convenient device searching and sorting mechanism using the device status, region information of the device, user ID, the firmware versions and the event severity of the device. 
    
So, in case if you are having lock waits for a long time while managing the device, that would be reasonable to monitor it by proactive monitoring under a device management system in order to detach the problem and to define the mean time to repair it.
