 ZTE iEnergy ElasticNet UME System Product Description

1 Overview
ZTE developed an integrated energy management system of energy devices and
infrastructure, which called iEnergy ElasticNet UME system (hereinafter referred to
as iEnergy). Based on the digitization of energy equipment, iEnergy system can
make whole network site visible, manageable and controllable. It focuses on the
unified management of energy, environment and security of different scenarios
(center office /sites), and can help customers reduce O&M costs and improve energy
efficiency.

iEnergy system complies with TMN model and is located in EML (Element
Management Layer), as shown in the following figure. The site controller sends the
site energy equipment and environment information to the iEnergy server. After the
server obtains the data, it processes, stores and displays it to realize the multiple
functions. Besides, the iEnergy system supports sending alarms and performance
data to the NMS system through northbound interface.

2 Solution Architecture
The iEnergy solution adopts a three-part architecture, including the communication
site, networking, and iEnergy system, to provide integrated management of multiple
site energy devices.

For telecom site layer, the site controller collects and processes site energy
equipment operation information, and transmitted to iEnergy system. It is proposed
appropriate site controllers for different scenarios. Various networking modes are
available, including in-band, out-band and hybrid networking ways. (Note:
Networking resources are provided by customers.)

The core layer is the iEnergy system ( also called CMS, Central Management
System), which can display site information, control site equipment, and provide
multiple high-value functions. Users can access and view the iEnergy system
through web client which is authorized. In addition, it can upload key information
(alarms and performance) to the third-party upper NOC system.

client software, KVM if necessary, etc. The software and operating system is
installed on a server that can host all processes, with access to the system through a
client software browser. The iEnergy system supports checking the operation status
of the power supply equipment of the site (hereinafter referred to as the Site), such
as the power system and ZTE intelligent lithium-ion batteries, using a web client or
application at anytime and anywhere, in order to easily realize remote monitoring
and control of the entire energy infrastructure of the network.

 Static container deployment

Static container deployment adopts single server deployment, supports physical

server/ cloud server/ virtual server. And it is recommended that there should be no
more than 5,000 access sites. To access more sites, customer can expand the
server directly, and the iEnergy system can support 50,000 site access at most.

Figure 2-2 iEnergy System Static Container Deployment Architecture

 High availability deployment

High availability deployment adopts 3 server deployment at least, supports physical

server/ cloud server/ virtual server. And it is recommended that there should be no
more than 10,000 access sites. To access more sites, customer also can expand the
server directly, and the iEnergy system can support 50,000 site access at most.
Each server adopts completed public components & support mirror image function,
guarantee high reliability of data and service. And it has automatically SLB (Server

2.1.2 Software architecture

With a micro service architecture, the iEnergy system software provides micro
services based on the PaaS platform, and provides support for monitoring,
management, and intelligent operation.

 Access layer

This layer provides access and adaptation for southern devices, including
environmental control devices (temperature/humidity/water/smoke sensors), HVAC
equipment/air conditioners/humidifiers (optional), power devices (UPS/smart voltage
meters), security devices such as door access control and video surveillance
(optional), and ZTE power devices: power system/batteries and other diesel
generators (optional).

 Data layer

This layer processes and converts original data into standard data. It also stores and
manages standard data, and transmits data to the upper-layer NMS through the
northbound interface.

 Northbound service

The northbound interface uploads data to the upper-layer NMS through SFTP or

 ZTE iEnergy ElasticNet UME System Product Description

SNMP.

 Application layer

This layer provides the following micro service modules: monitoring management,
alarm management, energy efficiency management, network operation, service
operation, security management, interconnection, system management, and
configuration management.

 Representation layer

This layer supports different types of terminals, provides user-friendly GUIs, and
visualizes monitoring, management, and other services.

 Support layer

This layer provides basic IT services, including database and messaging middleware,
to implement persistent data storage.
