The CrossTalk™ IBM Tivoli Netcool OMNIbus Gateway for HP TeMIP is based on the platform independent CrossTalk™ Mapping and Mediation Technology, a high performance framework implementing mediation and business logic through highly configurable mapping rules.

This technology is used with IBM Tivoli NetCool OMNIbus and HP TeMIP to provide an efficient flow of information between heterogeneous OSS systems and network elements. The integration provides:

• Bi-directional forwarding of alarms and state changes (clearance, acknowledgement, etc) between HP TeMIP and IBM Tivoli NetCool OMNIbus
• Configurable filters to select alarms to be exchanged
• Configurable rules for the mapping of alarm attributes between HP TeMIP and IBM Tivoli NetCool OMNIbus
• Full resynchronisation of alarms and state changes between HP TeMIP and IBM NetCool OMNIbus
• Failover and failback mechanism
• High availability with the ability to perform configuration changes without the loss of service
• Heartbeat monitoring
• High throughput of events
