Information technology company IBM (NYSE:IBM) and communications solutions provider Nortel (NYSE:NT)(TSX:NT) announced on Wednesday (21 March) that IBM software is being embedded as a building block for a new network management platform from Nortel.
According to the company, Nortel is embedding IBM's Tivoli Netcool software as the basis of its Common Management Platform, designed to deliver enhanced network control capabilities with a common feature set across the whole family of Nortel's service provider solutions. The new platform is expected to provide critical capabilities for service provider network operations, including a hardened security framework, a common set of network management applications, and a common service assurance suite. Nortel's Common Management Platform, built upon the IBM Tivoli Netcool framework, will provide a standard operational model across Nortel's Carrier Networks and Metro Ethernet Networks portfolios, the company claims.
