One was a large telecommunications company in Italy (Telecom Italia?) and another a very large mobile telecommunications company in Switzerland named Swisscom.<\/p>\n<p>This led to some discussions around product scalability, licensing models, etc.  Tarus didn&#8217;t have any specifics to share other than one requirement for OpenNMS to handle event storms of 2K-3K per second.  He said they&#8217;re working through architecture approaches to ensure that their backend databases can continue to scale in ways similar to Netcool\/OMNIbus&#8217;s in-memory database.<\/p>\n<p>Tarus also mentioned capabilities in OpenNMS on par with what Netcool\/Impact offers.  I believe he called them Automations.  It&#8217;d be neat to hear more on this and if they&#8217;ll have a library of data source interfaces\/integrations similar to Netcool\/Impact.<\/p>\n<p>Everything that Tarus and the OpenNMS team does is ultimately driven back into the main code tree for all to take advantage of.  The OpenNMS DevCamp kicks off in a week or two where the foundations for OpenNMS 2.0 will be worked on.  This is taking place in my backyard down at GA Tech if I recall correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Congrats to the OpenNMS team for your entrance into the telco space with these clients.  I also really want to learn more about your Papa John&#8217;s deployment and if I heard glimpses of Business Service Management (BSM) there or if you were just using that as an example!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The weekly source for hot IT management news and gossip is the IT Management Podcast hosted by Cote&#8217; of Redmonk and John M Willis of Zabovo.
