Whats is Intraway’s DAA Virtual Infrastructure Management?

Intraway’s DAA VIM is an advanced automation solution designed to manage the entire RPD lifecycle—from installation to decommissioning. By leveraging active resource inventory, traffic-engineering, and network optimization rules, VIM generates the optimal RPD configuration, known as Bestfit.

This powerful tool significantly reduces provisioning time and maintenance efforts, minimizes mis-provisioning errors, and optimizes CCAP utilization, all while eliminating the need for manual spreadsheets. Additionally, VIM provides robust reporting, geolocation features, and customizable administration options to ensure seamless and efficient network management.

Benefits of Intraway’s DAA Virtual Infrastructure Management

Intraway’s DAA VIM module is a powerful automation tool designed to manage the entire Remote PHY Device (RPD) lifecycle. From installation to decommissioning, and including updates and node upgrades, the VIM module leverages an active RPD resource inventory, traffic engineering, and network optimization rules to generate the most efficient RPD configuration, known as Bestfit. This ensures that your network is always operating at peak efficiency, with reduced errors and optimized performance.

Usage Engineering and Operational Rules Definition

Define critical provisioning parameters such as “Hub to Facility Mapping,” “DSG Tunnel Group Mapping,” and comprehensive lists of “Hubs” and “Markets” for RPD deployment. Users can easily add Additional Core IPs, Service Templates, and Broadcast VSG configurations, leveraging “Service Templates” from the Orchestration API and “Broadcast VSG” data from CCAPs to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance.

Design-Time Process Automation

Project Creation and Import

Easily create or import projects that map legacy nodes to their corresponding new RPD nodes. Define precise location and geolocation data for each RPD installation.

Automated Node Distribution

VIM automatically distributes Node Projects for N+0 or N+X RPD configurations based on pre-defined operational rules, intelligently identifying the “Best Fit” for each RPD within the available Data Service Groups (DSGs) on each CCAP.

Flexible Deployment Control

Users can override automated distribution by forcing RPDs from a Node Project to deploy on a specific CCAP, across a group of CCAPs with the same label, or consolidate all RPDs from a project into a single CCAP without specifying which one.

Interactive Validation

After optimal DSG assignments are determined, users are prompted to review and approve the selections, with the option to provide any additional required input.

Dynamic Network Visualization

Automatically view a detailed layout of CCAPs, SLOTS, DPICs, and Service Groups based on real-time CCAP configurations, available slots, and installed cards for better decision-making.

Automated Generation of RPD Provisioning Data

VIM generates ready-to-use provisioning data for seamless integration with the Network Orchestrator API. This output includes all necessary configurations for CCAPs and associated network elements, ensuring efficient and accurate RPD onboarding and deployment..

FAQ about Virtualized Infrastructure Manager Solution

What is VIM?

VIM (Virtual Integration Manager) is an Intraway solution designed to streamline the design-time migration from legacy nodes in HFC networks to Remote-PHY Devices (RPDs). It simplifies the transition to Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) by automating and optimizing key migration processes.

VIM ensures the efficient and accurate distribution of RPDs by adhering to industry best practices and considering CCAP limitations. This optimization maximizes resource utilization and enhances network performance throughout DAA deployments.

By automating the RPD distribution process, VIM generates a set of precise instructions for the Network Orchestrator. These instructions configure the CCAP and other critical network elements required for seamless RPD registration, accelerating deployment and reducing manual errors.

Yes, VIM integrates with network inventory systems to update RPD status in real time. It maintains a comprehensive, accurate record of RPD locations and distribution rules, serving as the single source of truth for RPD deployment and management.
