Hello Community Fellows,

    Recently I shared an article on NCE-T (Transmission), which was very well taken by community members and apprised by Huawei admins (Here is the LINK). So today I would like to share experience and knowledge on NCE-IP new generation NMS launched by Huawei.

NCE - Quick Review

    iMaster NCE (Network Cloud Engine) is the main intelligence of Huawei's Intent-Driven Network (IDN) that is used for network control, management, and analysis functions with four engines:

·        Intent Engine,

·        Automation Engine

·        Analysis Engine

·        Intelligence Engine.

    All these work together to assist iMaster NCE to acquire business intent as well as gather network data in real time via telemetry, resulting in the creation of a digital twin based on unified data modelling.  There are different controller,

·        NCE-T

·        NCE-IP

·        NCE-FAN

·        NCE-Campus

·        NCE-Fabric

·        NCE-WAN

NCE(Network Cloud Engine)-IP

iMaster NCE-IP combines IP device administration, control, and analysis for the NE, ATN, CX, and PTN series NEs. It contains features like device plug-and-play and service automation to enable automated full-lifecycle network administration and maintenance, and it's built specifically for IP private lines, IP cores, mobile transport, and metro networks. With network traffic and quality monitoring in real time.

Key Features

The open design of the iMaster NCE-IP provides basic network services and northbound standards, allowing for network northbound openness to alleviating possible connectivity issues. It also offers a Real-time, On-demand, All-Online, DIY, and Social (ROADS) experience to clients.

• High-Precision Network Map: Real-time network change awareness

• Tunnel Path Navigation: Intelligent Path Computation

• SLA Deterioration-Driven Optimization: Application-level experience assurance

• Automatic Network Fault Optimization: Minute-level congestion relief

One Window Solution from Provisioning to maintenance

The iMaster NCE-IP platform allows cloud-based Wide Area Network (WAN) solutions to optimize network value. It also enables for the quick implementation and provisioning of Virtual Private Network (VPN) services over WANs, thanks to its robust and flexible management capabilities.

NCE-IP helps in yielding higher provisioning efficiency, better Experience of O&M

Physical Installation of NCE Server in HA

Deployment of NCE-IP over TaiShan based server in HA configuration for a higher level of resilience.

This is On-Premises Deployment, it can also be done on Cloud.

Topology Map with drop-down menus

All relevant options available in menus of main window in Foldable style for ease in view.

NE Explorer for Full view
