As timing and synchronization grow in importance in critical infrastructure networks, centralized management of this vital function has become essential to network operations. Microchip® TimePictra® is a modular web-based synchronization management system that scales and evolves with operational requirements.
With a multi-tier architecture – server, client, and database – TimePictra provides the scalability and performance to meet growing network services and business needs. The secure web browser client provides easy access and eliminates the complexity of client installation and VPN access. The Java application server, in conjunction with the database, provides comprehensive business logic to support management of network functions:
Full FCAPS Plus Advanced Feature
The basic software comes with comprehensive support for the standard FCAPS capabilities: Fault Management, Configuration Management, Accounting (Inventory) Management, Performance Management, and Security Management.
Network Operations Integration
TimePictra enables integration of northbound interface using SNMP for alarm integration and TeMIP northbound for alarm and topology integration for network operators that are looking for a centralized management of multi-vendor, diverse equipment environments.
End-to-End Visibility of IEEE 1588 PTP
TimePictra allows network operators not only to manage the PTP Server clocks in the network, but also to monitor the health and performance of PTP Client clocks distributed throughout the network, including clients not supplied by Microchip.
