Page 1 of 3 System OverviewThe Active Resource Manager is a software system designed to operate on popular Linux/Unix platforms. It supports the currently available varients of IPDR and will future DOCSIS® 3.0 capabilities. Unlike other network management systems, the Active Resource manager retains the original collected data compressing large volume data to reduce storage requirements. The Active Resource Manager can store 12 months for 500K subscribers in 1TB. In addition to storing the original collected data, the Active Resource Manager also computes key summaries pre-processing data for specific applications or simply to increase the performance of reporting. The Active Resource Manager also maintains specific summaries, subscriber counters and device topology information in memory accessable via either a HTTP/REST or SOAP API avoiding the need for very high query volume applications to access the database. The Active Resource database open, fully documented and structured to for easy access by any developer with basic SQL/DBA skills. Customized stored proceedures abstract and normalize collected data allowing simply SQL queries to be used for custom reports. Using a combination combination of API's and Active Broadband Networks unique re-exporter functionality (available in the SystemWide Edition) the system provides complete, documented and transaparent access to all collected and processed IPDR data. EditionsThe Active Resource Manager is available in three editions to suit the smallest application specific deployments and large scale network wide deployments. - Standard Edition. The Standard Edition is the version which can be downloaded directly from our website for evaluation. This version supports upto 500K subscribers on a single server. In addition, the Standard Edition includes the Fair Use Profiler, Quota Manager, Usage Predictor and user customized reporting.
- Enhanced Edition. The Edition Enhanced adds redundancy capabilities to the features of the Standard Edition. This version enables the deployment of a second identical server to provide system redundancy. The clustered serversare addressed by both CMTS and users or external applications as a single cluster. Should the primary serverfail, the redundant server automatically assumes operation. When the failed server is repaired or replaced, all data is automatically synchronized with the primary. This functionality also facilitates in-service software or hardware upgrades.
- SystemWide Edition. The System Wide Edition is designed for operators with more than 500K subscribers. Clusters supporting redundant operation are connected to a hierarchy of management systems known as Active Managers. A hierarchy of Active Manager can be deployed providing collection capacity for upto 100M subscriber devices. Operators access the system by connecting to any management cluster and Active Resource Manager automates the retrieval and presentation of information distributed throughout the system. In addition to providing access to all collected information, the System Wide Edition also centralizes the management and configuration of distributed Active Agents and Managers.
