2. LivingObjects
A spin off from SFR
LivingObjects software suite has been first
developed from 2006 to provide SFR network
management teams with a platform more
efficient than on the shelf products (e.g.
Metrica, Mycom,etc..)
More efficient stands for better performance,
better user interface, more flexible
LivingObjects as a company was created in 2009
to develop a generic product from SFR solution .
SFR account 20 million of subscribers in France

Today LivingObjects suite is used daily by
hundreds of SFR technicians for managing its
mobile (2G, 3G, 4G) and fixed networks (DSL,
FTTH, NetFlow)
-SFR Mobilen etwork : 18 000 radio sites,
60 000 2G, 3G and 4G cells
-SFR DSL network : 25000 Network Elements

LivingObjects platform is providing network
service providers with a set of tools to help them
optimize and improve quality of service of their
fixed and mobile networks based extensively on
the use of network performance KPIs and
network configuration data.
With in depth knowledge of network
hardware and daily operating tasks
With datamining and statistical expertise
With a strong focus on user-friendly
interfaces and tool performances

LO Platform
A unified workspace for the daily operating tasks
• Unique collector for OSS KPI and MIBS KPI, mobile and fixed networks, and reference database
• Unified end user environment for fixed and mobile technology
• Integrated, dedicated modules for specific issues

Data Collection
Millions of data to be collected and processed in
real time. Example :
• Access Network collection (CPE) : around 2TB /
Day / 12 000 CPE
• Transit routers netflow storage (11 CRS) :
around 92 Go/day/ 130 interfaces
Collection Performance
Easy access to data
The Datawarehouse containing the collected
data is used by many applications and thus
must support an heavy load without any
performance degradation.
Data Retention
Accurate investigation need sufficient retention
time (depending of the granularity, 3 weeks to
5 years).
Scalable collection
The collector must adapt to rapidly evolving
environnements (roll out, new release, swap,..).
Minimized impact on device
performance
Data exchange with network equipement (MIBs)
has to be made in order to minimize impact on
the running tasks

Solution for data collection
NetMiner
Multi-vendors, Multi-protocols : FTP, SFTP, http, SNMP, Telnet, TL1, csv,
xml, sql, Netflow, Q3 …
One connection per collection (and not one
connection per check like most tools)
A robust and efficient architecture
100 000 2G/3G per collection node
20 000 IP device per collection node (pull)
3 millions flows per seconds (max)
Scalable protocols collection
Based on plugins, the collection node eases
the implementation of new protocols or
vendor new features.
Quick & Easy access to data
Using the suite divided by 3 the calculation
time: quicker investigation
Minimized impact on NE performance
