Region View
Growing revenues and reducing expenses are evergreen aspirations of any business, yet issues such as impaired Quality of Service (QoS), service disruption and fall in perceived Quality of Experience (QoE) turn customers away. To stay ahead of the competition, it is paramount to pinpoint and resolve these issues quickly. The challenge is managing the complexity of a modern network and maintaining happy subscribers.

Pixelmetrix ConsolidatorTM, a scalable enterprise grade network management system, is the ultimate end-to-end solution for digital television broadcasters to centrally monitor their broadcast operation performance in real time.

Consolidator provides centralized access to all data and visibility to key fault and performance information from up to a thousand Pixelmetrix probes in a distributed content delivery network. It tracks all probes in real time with a combination of push notifications and information pull mechanisms, enabling faster response time for fault resolution and improving QoS.

Role-specific views for monitoring information also contributes to facilitating faster response time. As Consolidator continuously aggregates performance and fault information from available Pixelmetrix probes, it presents the appropriate level of detail for different personnel groups/subscribers. While engineers can look at

Consolidator optimizes operational efficiency at the same time. With configurable representation of monitored data, operators can reach conclusions and take action before customers are affected.

A clear understanding of the causes of the problem ultimately results in less time spent on resolving them. This translates into minimizing truck rolls, resulting in reduced OPEX and lower maintenance costs.

Finally, optimize your past and future investment with Consolidator. Its SNMP interface enables the system to be integrated with any Pixelmetrix equipment. Its open standards based architecture means that it can also be expanded to provide control and monitoring of virtually any modern broadcast, telecom or IT equipment.

So, consolidate your network health, service visibility and fault management on one platform: Consolidator.
