Gladiator: Performance Monitoring Tool
About Gladiator Product Suite:
- Currently Gladiator product suite include following, which are linked through common database and tools:
- GPOSS (Performance Optimization System Solutions)
- Provides end to end visibility across the network with data collected and correlated from both the customer’s device and the network
- Correlation of customer experience with network issues enabling efficient identification and correction of customer pain points
- Adaptive task management and workflow automation
- Integrated probes and OSS data processing
- Near real time and multi user access with priority management
- Automation, customization and business object modules
- GEMS (Customer Experience Management Solutions)
- Automates engineering workflow and provides comprehensive engineering tools for drill-down troubleshooting and reporting
- Supports multi-technology and multi-vendor systems
All Gladiator products embrace the concept of Performance Optimization Systems Solution as being the future of how wireless networks will be managed
About G Station:
- G Station has core elements like; Database, Dataviews& Embedded application development suite
- It also has applications like; Technology toolboxes, Custom Design Engine & Benchmarking module
- The key feature about SORaNO G – Station Architecture is that it offers open platform that allows:
- Rapid development
- Custom IP development: Gladiator is favorably positioned to grow its global installed base within NEM’s and win their recognition to standardize SORaNO in managed services across global markets through locking out it’s IP allowing NEMs to embed their mission critical IP into Gladiator which helps them differentiate their products and services with productized IP to compete for market share. This sets Gladiator apart from their competition and giving them significant traction for gaining market recognition.
- Third Party Licensing
- Easy integration of new data sources and third party applications
About G Net:
- G Net provides 24 by 7 automated analysis of data
- It also provides autonomous, dispatched measurements, OSS, DT and probes
- G Net provides “Open Architecture” : Gladiator’s open architecture enables customer-specific software which has no equivalent in the marketplace. With this key differentiating feature, Gladiator customers are empowered to react to business needs on the fly and in the field, always maintaining a state-of-the-art solution independent of Gladiator R&D schedules. As a result, Gladiator customers realize OpEx and CapEx reductions,speed to market, and a competitive edge. In contrast, Gladiator’s competitors are restrained by inflexible application-based products with relatively short shelf life and long R&D cycles.
- Another important byproduct of the use of customer-specific software is that Gladiator customers become increasingly dependent on the Gladiator platform, since there are no other open-architecture network optimization platforms. Accordingly, the use of customer-specific software will greatly benefit customers while effectively locking competitors out of the market and allowing Gladiator to accelerate market share and reach a market leadership position within the next two years
- G – NET ARCHITECTURE IS PATENTED
About G Net End to End:
- In contrast to Gladiator’s existing product line, G-NET-E2E will Manage, Monitor, and Optimize both the wireless (radio access) and non-wireless portion of a telecom network
- Expanding beyond the wireless portion of the network will involve establishing a presence in the customer’s Network Operations Center (NOC), which will open the door to further opportunities
- G-NET-E2E is architected to support multiple operating-systems using Java and Oracle based technologies. The IP inherent in the product architecture combines various strategic attributes
- Gladiator is projecting 10x growth in next five years due to G-NET-E2E.
- The first phase of the G-NET-E2E project is currently staffed. A strong installed base of SORANO and a well executed intellectual property lockout plan sets the stage for G-NET-E2E product entry into the Telecom performance management segment for 2011
- G – NET – E2E when combined with good planning on global coverage, can create a healthy stream of revenue leveraging on the lead-lags
G Net End to End vis-à-vis 4G & LTE:
- LTE and 4G technologies are now being rolled out in lead markets creating totally new challenges in managing performance of the new broad-band wireless networks. The existing ecosystem challenges for LTE and 4G will make the condition worse by the sharp incline of mobile apps and proliferation of internet enabled mobile devices and smart phones.
- The legacy solutions in the performance management space have failed to address some key technological gaps that have plagued the operators with significant revenue loss incurred from network downtime
- G-NET-E2E addresses these market challenges by introducing technological enablers to remedy the missed revenues by:
- Unifying Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Key Quality Indicators (KQIs) across multi-format OSS platforms, a key contributor to the managed services segment where NEM’s inherit multi-vendor OSS from the Telco’s infrastructure
- Resolve long network downtimes by introducing an intelligent system modeling and modification solution (in process of being patented)
- Resolve network downtimes plagued by scalability issues of processing large volumes of data, speed of aggregation and modifications thereof using patented task management engine.
- These nuances in a performance management solution create a built-in business case to displace legacy systems that impose exorbitant missed revenues to telecom operators in network downtime
