NART-Network Inventory Management
A Unified View of Every Device, and Connection
NART OSS Suite's Inventory Management is a centralized platform that continuously collects and correlates network elements and components from multi-vendor, multi-technology environments using data sourced from NMS, EMS, and ADR systems.
It visualizes physical and logical resources, such as devices, connections, ports, interfaces, and links, in a vendor- and technology-independent structure, delivering a clear, topology-based view of the entire infrastructure. Automatically identifies configuration changes, inconsistencies, mismatches, and missing elements across the network.
This continuous synchronization allows operators to monitor infrastructure components in real time and achieve maximum efficiency in resource management, planning, and operational decision-making.
Centralized Resource Repository
Consolidates all physical and logical assets; including devices, interfaces, ports, and IPs — into a single, searchable database.
Automated Discovery & Reconciliation Integration
Continuously synchronizes live network data with inventory records from NART-ADR to detect discrepancies and outdated information.
Asset Lifecycle Tracking
Manages assets from deployment to decommissioning, optimizing network investments and utilization.
Cost Efficiency & Optimization
Prevents redundant purchases and improves resource allocation through accurate visibility of existing assets.
Accurate Topology Visualization
Provides real-time mapping of network elements, connections, and dependencies for faster impact assessment.
Unified Service Visibility
Maintains a real-time inventory of all active and historical services with full relationship mapping to customers and resources.
Comprehensive Relationship Modeling
Links customers, services, and devices to enable rapid root-cause and impact analysis.
