Show full answer Show less ## Key Features Introduced * **Logical Connection Records:** Logical interfaces are now automatically linked to their respective cards or parent equipment, improving CI consistency and preventing duplicates. * **Network Infrastructure Visualization:** A unified L1 menu consolidates network visualizations including site, floor, and topology views. New roles such as DC Floor Designer, DC Ops Agent, and DC Ops Viewer support datacenter infrastructure management. * **Datacenter Floor and Geo Maps:** Floor maps allow visualization of datacenter layouts and operational data (power, thermal, usage), while geo maps show network site locations and enable direct access to detailed floor maps. * **Service Operations Workspace:** Offers a converged view of incidents, alarms, and network inventory entities, enhancing agent efficiency and experience. * **Capacity and Operational Data Management:** Supports pushing operational data to REST endpoints and storing in ClothoDB, with overlay of time-series metrics on datacenter floor maps for health monitoring. * **Facility and Power Circuit Modeling:** New records and models to define datacenter details, power circuits, facility hardware (power, HVAC, network), and equipment holder models including rack unit numbering. * **Remote Hands Request Management (Australia release):** Enables customers to request onsite services with secure case storage and auto-generated contextual summaries for faster issue resolution. * **IP Address Management Enhancements:** Multi-layer nested IP subnetworks with CIDR validation for IPv4 and IPv6, and renaming of IP Pool to IP Address Block for clarity. * **CI Naming Patterns:** Variable library authoring with real-time validation and custom rule support to standardize inventory naming. * **Rack Allocation Workflow:** An agentic workflow reserves rack unit space based on placement policies and capacity metrics to optimize datacenter resource allocation. * **TNI Data Model Navigator:** Offers a curated, hierarchical CMDB view tailored to telecom operations for easier navigation of thousands of CI classes. * **Coral Theme:** Adopted as the default user interface theme with a fresh, brand-neutral design and optional dark mode for web and mobile. ## Important Changes * Network Visualization L1 menu now replaces the Topology L1 menu, consolidating topology and geo map views within a single interface. * Terminology updates include renaming Network Site to Site, xNF Instance to Service Instance, and xNF to Network Function for clarity and consistency. * ServiceNow AI Platform introduces three licensing tiers---Foundation, Advanced, and Prime---each providing different AI capabilities accessible based on license. * Now LLM Service is deprecated as the default AI model provider, replaced by third-party LLMs for new and inactive AI assets, though manual selection remains possible. * Standard platform roles lose read access to specific TNI tables to enhance security; this affects both new installs and upgrades. ## Activation and Additional Requirements * To activate Telecommunications Network Inventory features, customers must request and install the Network Inventory Advanced plugin (snniadv) from the ServiceNow Store. * Additional plugin installations are required for full functionality, including Telecommunications Alarm Management Open API, Customer Service Problem Management, Indoor Mapping, Customer Service Install Base Management, and Remote Hands plugins depending on the release family. ## Accessibility and Localization * Australia release improves overall accessibility focusing on keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, zoom levels, color contrast, and text spacing. * No changes to localization or browser requirements were recorded across releases. ## What to Expect After upgrading to the Brazil release from Zurich, you can expect a more integrated and user-friendly TNI experience that improves network visualization, datacenter management, and operational monitoring. Enhanced role-based access and AI capabilities support operational efficiency and security. The consolidated visual interfaces and agent workflows streamline incident and asset management. Additionally, IP management improvements and structured naming conventions help maintain data integrity and consistency. By following the pre- and post-upgrade tasks and installing necessary plugins, your organization will benefit from the latest TNI capabilities designed to support complex telecommunications environments with greater precision and operational insight.
