MMS Probe for HP BAC and HP OVIS from ADVENAGE
Data services, in particular Multimedia Messages (MMS), play an important role in the business case of mobile operators. To achieve customer satisfaction, high availability and high performance of MMS services is crucial. MMS Probe from ADVENAGE - together with HP's Business Availability Center (BAC) or OpenView Internet Services - is an excellent tool for service providers and network operators to test and measure Multimedia Messaging Service availability and performance from a customer's point of view.
MMS Probe extends HP Business Availability Center and HP OpenView Internet Services with MMS service testing and monitoring capabilities. MMS Probe simulates MMS service end-users sending and receiving Multimedia Messages over the air and delivers detailed performance data to BAC or OVIS. MMS Probe integrates seamlessly with HP BAC, HP OVIS and other OpenView products.
MMS Probe has been designed to serve mobile network operators and service providers with a high functional and reliable tool to monitor and analyze the quality and performance of MMS services from an end-users point-of-view.
Compared to traditional solutions it follows a new implementation approach allowing for best-in-class reliability and performance. As a probe application for HP OpenView Internet Services, MMS Probe enables mobile network operators, service providers and MVNOs to run MMS service monitoring using an industry standard performance management system. This avoids expenditures by running separate OSS systems or integrating non-standard systems into their performance management environments.
MMS Probe comes as a full service package including consulting, installation, support and software maintenance.
MMS Probe Features:
- Monitoring of availability and performance of MMS services
- Monitoring of roaming and competitor interconnections
- Monitoring of MMS to E-Mail interconnection
- MMS via WAP 1.1 and 2.0
- GPRS, CSD and UMTS Bearer support
- WAP Push Notification via SMS and WSP/UDP
- MMS content check
- Remote configuration via web interface
MMS Probe gathers availability and performance data by periodically sending and receiving Multimedia Messages (MMs) to and from an MMSC.
Upon reception of a test MM, the round trip time is calculated and logged to HP BAC or HP OVIS along with other data concerning time-stamps, transfer rate and status.
The measurement data can be instantly displayed on the dashboards of HP SiteScope, HP BAC and HP OVIS and may be analyzed later with HP BAC or HP OVIS.
Critical system states - e.g. MMSC or interconnection failures - as well as SLA violations are detected in time and can be reported to the Network-Management-Center using standard HP BAC and HP OVIS reporting and alarming functions like SNMP, E-Mail or SMS. This allows reacting quickly on performance bottlenecks and system failures and helps to reduce revenue loss due to system unavailability.
