<h1>Nokia NetAct™ framework for network and service management</h1>

<p>Nokia NetAct™ is a network and service management framework
that addresses the operator's challenges to handle larger networks, greater
complexity, more network elements, and the explosive growth in traffic and
data expected in future networks. In an increasingly multivendor, multiservice
and multi-technology environment it is even more important to have a single
controlling OSS system. Openness, efficiency, modularity, and scalability
are key issues of Nokia NetAct. Nokia NetAct provides a pre-integrated management
solution that can be implemented quickly and cost-efficiently. This reduces
the operator's time-to-market and allows them to focus on their core business.</p>


<p>The same evolving Nokia NetAct will support all existing
and future network technologies and related services, thus providing a secured
growth path for IP-based networks.</p>


<p>Nokia NetAct consists of functionality areas, such as Monitor
and Reporter that provide management capabilities grouped together according
to the most relevant operator processes. A unified mediation and adaptation
layer serves as the interface towards different types of networks and network
elements. It hides the network complexity and allows easy interoperability
with various technologies and 3rd party systems.</p>


<p>The cornerstones of the Nokia NetAct management solution
are:</p>


<ul>
<li><p>The entire network can be accessed
and viewed with one system, Nokia NetAct. A clear view of the network and
QoS indicators is always available.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Open interfaces enable easier integration
and allow operators to build the most suitable solution for their needs.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Modularity and flexibility of architecture.</p>
</li>
</ul>
