What You Can Expect from AT&T

AT&T Enterprise Orchestrator offers a host of features to support enterprise reliability and efficiency. The functions are modeled after the Information Technology Infrastructure Library/IT Service Management (ITIL/ITSM) framework recommendations.

• Incident and problem management: Detect enterprise incidents, create and route tickets to the appropriate experts, and track resolution activities and solutions.
• Asset and configuration management: Using a comprehensive Configuration Management Database (CMDB) built upon the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Common Information Model (CIM), this function tracks and manages enterprise assets, their components, configurations, relationship to other assets, and lifecycle history. Automated tools query device configurations and populate the CMDB with asset configuration information and compare against policies to detect violations and alert work center personnel to problems. The AT&T Enterprise Orchestrator CMDB maintains device configuration and provisioning information. The auditing function monitors device configurations and notifies work center personnel when changes occur. AT&T Enterprise Orchestrator also enables personnel to automatically distribute scheduled or on-demand configuration changes, OS updates and application updates.
• Capacity/performance management: Collect key device and end-to-end metrics, such as throughput, response time and general enterprise availability, highlight performance improvement opportunities and obtain short and long-term trending indicators.
• Service management: Define services as logical and physical relationships between assets and components and graphically display them on a map or ticket to highlight the impact of an incident on a service.
• Full range of IT professional services: To complement our platform, choose the options that increase enterprise efficiency while minimizing your workload. Your staff can concentrate on higher priorities.
• Flexible AT&T Enterprise Orchestrator Deployment: You decide - either on your premises or at an AT&T operations center.
