BitStorm™ Server system applications
The BitStorm™ Server can be configured to serve two types of
systems: StormTracker-Site Manager systems and YesWare-VBN
systems. The following sections describe each of these systems and illustrate
the system architectures.
StormTracker-Site Manager carrier systems
StormTracker-Site Manager carrier systems are used for the operations,
administration, management and provisioning (OAM&P) of
EtherLoop™ systems that provide service in “carrier” environments.
StormTracker-Site Manager carrier systems are used by telcos and other
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who provide EtherLoop as a broadband
connection for their customers. The only purpose of StormTracker-Site
Manager carrier systems is to monitor and optimize the performance of the
EtherLoop modems in the system. Customer billing is accomplished
separately from the BitStorm Server software.
Figure 1-3 shows the functional architecture of a StormTracker-Site
Manager carrier system. This document covers how to use the OAM&P
capabilities of the StormTracker-Site Manager software to set up this system
architecture.
