Pixelmetrix Launches ConsolidatorTM
New Generation Network Management System

   
Tackling the complexity of a modern network and keeping subscribers satisfied are more daunting tasks than ever. Yet remedies are within grasp with Pixelmetrix ConsolidatorTM, the all-new enterprise grade Network Management System.

Consolidator provides centralized access to all data and visibility to key fault and performance information from up to a thousand Pixelmetrix probes in a distributed content delivery network. Tracking all probes in real time with a combination of push notifications and information pull mechanisms, the Consolidator facilitates faster response time for resolving faults and improving QoS.

In a nutshell, how does Consolidator ease the job of a broadcaster?
  • Flexible screens with configurable elements
  • Role-specific views to monitor information
  • Aggregate network health information from different points within it
  • Drill down capability to move from an overall network view to an isolated focus on a single monitoring point
By combining data from different monitoring points within the network, the Consolidator can also aggregate view for display on video wall. On top of that, the Consolidator can customize views for different teams – a monitoring view for operators, a simple dashboard for management, and full diagnostics and troubleshooting for engineers. With configurable representation of monitored data, operators can reach conclusions and take action before issues grow into problems.

Visualizing the causes of the problem ultimately results in less time spent on resolving them. This translates into minimizing truck rolls, resulting in reduced OPEX and lower maintenance costs.

More importantly, when you need scalable capacity, Consolidator performs. The SNMP interface of the Consolidator enables the system to be integrated with any Pixelmetrix equipment. Its open standards based architecture means that it can also be expanded to provide control and monitoring of virtually any modern broadcast, telecom or IT equipment.
So, consolidate your network health, service visibility and fault management on one platform: Consolidator.
