SINGAPORE, February 21, 2025 – Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE), a global leader in secure networking and communication solutions, has announced a major enhancement to its OmniVista® Network Advisor. The AI-driven network monitoring and remediation tool now supports third-party devices, expanding its capabilities beyond ALE’s own OmniSwitch® and OmniAccess® Stellar Access Points. This update enhances network management by providing greater flexibility and customization in complex multi-vendor environments.
Enhanced Multi-Vendor Support for Smarter Network Management
With the latest upgrade, OmniVista Network Advisor now integrates with third-party network devices, including firewalls and networking hardware from other vendors. This allows organizations to monitor a wider range of infrastructure, detect anomalies, and apply AI-driven remediation beyond ALE’s ecosystem. By extending intelligence across various network components, businesses can now achieve a more seamless and secure IT infrastructure.
Microsoft Teams Integration for Instant Collaboration
One of the most significant updates in this release is the integration of Microsoft Teams as a real-time collaboration platform within OmniVista Network Advisor. Previously, ALE’s Rainbow™ CPaaS was used for automated alerts and network remediation. Now, IT teams can receive real-time notifications, collaborate on troubleshooting, and execute network remediations directly within the Microsoft Teams environment. This integration ensures faster incident response, improving overall network performance and security.
Customized Alerts and AI-Driven Remediation
Another key enhancement is the ability to define custom anomalies and configure automated remediation tailored to an organization’s unique network requirements. The OmniVista Network Advisor can now collect and analyze syslogs from compatible third-party devices, enabling IT teams to create personalized alerts and automated responses based on real-time insights.
Kenny Ng, APAC Market Development, Network Business Division at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, highlighted the benefits:
“With the ability to collect and analyze syslogs from compatible third-party devices, OmniVista Network Advisor enables users to configure custom alerts and automate responses based on these insights, helping to maintain an optimal, secure network state.”
