Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Introduces Next-Generation OmniVista Terra

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE), a leading provider of secure networking and communication solutions enabling organisations and industries to accelerate their operational efficiencies and competitiveness, has today announced the upcoming release of OmniVista Terra. This new offering is an intelligent on-premises Network Management System (NMS) designed to deliver comprehensive visibility and control.

OmniVista Terra empowers enterprises to efficiently manage their networks with security and scalability. It complements ALE’s existing cloud-based solution, OmniVista Cirrus, by offering the same advanced features in a locally hosted environment, which is typically a mandatory requirement in sectors like transportation, energy & utilities, healthcare, and defense.

Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Operations from OmniVista Terra

OmniVista brings Artificial Intelligence (AI) to simplify day-to-day operations and maximise network performance. The upcoming new AI-chatbot interface enables network administrators to use natural language to obtain real-time responses to network queries, configuration guidance, and troubleshooting support. This capability enhances operational efficiency and empowers IT teams to resolve issues promptly. With its integration with ALE’s AIOps tool, OmniVista Network Advisor, OmniVista Terra enhances incident management by helping identify root causes and enabling efficient mitigation across the network.

Comprehensive Observability

By providing enhanced analytics, OmniVista Terra offers deep insights into network performance, user behaviour, and device status. Its exceptional observability capabilities provide real-time data on quality of experience, network performance, and historical analysis. This in turn simplifies the process of identifying the root cause of network issues. This new generation OmniVista solution streamlines administrative tasks, enabling IT teams to efficiently monitor and manage complex network environments. Its integration with security and Private 5G wireless solutions like Versa and Celona, allows OmniVista to provide a unified control over the entire customer network.

Powerful Management Where Everything Connects

OmniVista Terra complements OmniVista Cirrus, ALE’s cloud-based NMS, by delivering identical features in an on-premises environment. Both Terra and Cirrus platforms form a unified network management suite that brings together ALE switches, wireless access points, IoTs, Celona Private 5G, and Versa SD-WAN and SASE solutions under a common umbrella. This integration then ensures consistent security policies and centralised management. This new innovative offering is particularly suited for government and highly regulated industries requiring full local control of infrastructure.

“ALE OmniVista platform is the cornerstone of our strategy to unify, simplify and automate the AI powered operations of the entire infrastructure. OmniVista Terra extends the benefit of unmatched network visibility, control, and security to on-premises deployment” said Stephan Robineau, EVP of the Network Business Division at ALE.
