Subject: [smartBridges] WISP Management
and Support Suite
I have started a
new project at sourceforge.net called WISP-MSS located
here:
Everyone, please
visit the forums and post any wish lists. This is an open source project that
will be available to everyone for free. The more ideas that we get, the better
the suite will be. If anyone is interested in contributing to documentation,
scripting, user interface, technical advice, visual appearance or to submit
any custom scripts that you have already created and would like to share
please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I can
add you to the developer group.
Current ideas for
WISP-MSS:
SNMP management of
network (similar to simpleNMS but with more features for SB tweaking and other
mfg device support)
Network event
management (IE. Email soandso about action A, send reset command if action B,
poll for events and traps, etc...)
Bandwidth
management
Customer
tracking
Accounting
Billing
Inventory tracking
(deployed and stock)
Network mapping
and visualization
Network
simulating
Coverage
mapping
Client help desk
and support center
Knowledge
base
Client forums and
mailing lists
Network service
management (DNS, DHCP, NNTP, SMTP, Routing, etc...)
Network planning
services
Design
concept:
Suite will be
configured to run from a central location ran by third party for most
functions, eliminating the need to indepth knowledge of services required.
Company and customer private information will reside on your own network and
used by web based scripts running on you own machines so no private
information ever leaves your control. Network monitoring and control is
cordinated by third party servers using monitoring software run on your
network. Monitoring software uses self-contained 'Watchdogs' to maintain
management when off network methods are unavailable. The 'Third Party' could
be a distributed service ran on all of the Suite's user's computers
to keep availability high and computer time free as well as having multiple
routes to check for system
integrity.
