intent-based networking
At Cisco Live Europe, Orange Business Services showcased the
next push of its global SD-WAN portfolio with the first onboarding
of a Cisco SD-WAN virtual network function (VNF) on the Cisco
Enterprise Network Compute System (ENCS). This platform, which
delivers a fully functional virtualized solution for network
services, is part of the Orange universal customer premise
equipment (uCPE) offer. This new approach is in addition to
existing appliance or cloud-based deployment options. It further
strengthens the SD-WAN by Orange offering, and is part of its
strategy to move to software-defined networks (SDN) and
intent-based networking.

Orange is using SD-WAN technology to build secure, hybrid
connectivity for enterprises over any transport network, including
MPLS, internet and satellite, with real-time centralized management
of network functions, application policy setting and application
visibility. SD-WAN allows enterprises to meet their ever increasing
cloud, bandwidth and internet demands effectively and securely. It
also improves application performance, irrespective of whether it
is delivered from the cloud or the enterprise data center.
In addition, thanks to uCPE central orchestration, Orange can
provide automated Cisco SD-WAN deployment, based on Viptela
technology, in minutes on all enterprise sites, wherever they are
located. The uCPE can run multiple additional functions, such as
security, which can be orchestrated centrally and chained as
required. This means that enterprises can dynamically adapt the
branch office configuration to optimize user experience.
“This work strengthens our long-standing partnership with Cisco.
Together we are bringing innovations in SD-WAN and the wider
network to our customers worldwide. These developments will help
realize the promise of intent-based networking, which will use
artificial intelligence to automatically orchestrate networks based
on predicted user demand. This will help improve application
performance, security and business continuity,” said Pierre-Louis
Biaggi, vice president, Connectivity, Orange Business Services.
“SD-WAN provides the essential foundation for Service Providers
to transform their network services,” said Sachin Gupta, senior
vice president, product management for Cisco Enterprise Networking.
“One of the truly global providers, we are excited Orange is
accelerating the adoption of SD-WAN technology leveraging Cisco’s
ENCS platform. Our partnership will accelerate customers’
transformation to cloud and digital while delivering new-age
capability for simplified operations, application visibility and
performance.”
By orchestrating simple and unified end to end
solutions through virtualized solutions like SD-WAN from
Cisco, Orange is able
to provide enterprises with the agility,
reliability and cost
effectiveness they need to speed their
digital transformation.
