1.4 Information Model
Scenario 3: Naming and Notification Services Installed on Independent Servers
The naming and notification services are installed on independent servers as shown in the following
figure.
Figure 1-4
Naming and Notification Services on Independent Servers
The CTM server processes, CTM GateWay/CORBA, and the NMS processes must be configured to use
the naming and notification services on independent workstations.
1.4 Information Model
The information model used by the CTM GateWay/CORBA northbound interface is based on the TMF
NML-EML CORBA interface—TMF.814 v3.0. This standard is available to TMF members from the
TMF website. The information model allows the EMS to provide an abstraction layer between the EMS
and the NMS. This standard is generic and is, therefore, applicable to many different EMS and NE
implementations. Customers implementing a TMF-compliant CORBA interface between a specific NMS
and CTM must use the CTM GateWay/CORBA product, and will require specific information on what
API features are implemented and how those features should be used.
1.5 Summary
As a state-of-the-art EMS, CTM can provide a CORBA-based interface between itself and an NMS. This
functionality is provided by a separately purchasable option—CTM GateWay/CORBA.
CTM GateWay/CORBA provides a TMF-compliant CORBA interface in accordance with the TMF
NML-EML specification composed of TMF.513, TMF.608, and TMF.814. CTM GateWay/CORBA
