Cisco Leadership In Automation Continues With New Network Automation Portfolio for Service Providers
20 Febbraio 2018 - 02:00PM
Cisco today introduced its new Cisco Crosswork Network Automation
software portfolio to improve how global service providers run
their large-scale networks. The solutions are designed to work
together to offer greater network visibility at scale (mass
awareness), data-driven insights (augmented intelligence) and
outcome-based automation (proactive control).
With 27 billion devices and connections1 expected to be running
on service provider networks by 2021, the pressure is on for
industry adoption of complete lifecycle network automation and
intent-based networking to help networks predict change and react
in near real time.
Traditional operations staff will not be able to keep up with
adding nearly 10 percent more devices every year without changing
how they work. When Cisco automation is utilized, typical results
include a 70 percent improvement in operational efficiency, 30
percent revenue uplift and a 40 percent improvement in customer
satisfaction2.
The new Cisco Crosswork Network Automation software portfolio
helps innovative global service providers like
Telstra and many others, automate
their networks and explore how to effectively extract and manage
huge amounts of data to help their networks react to common events
and impending security threats.
This new portfolio offers service providers a single point of
integration with zero-touch telemetry, machine learning intuition,
open APIs and automated actions that offer a simpler
experience. It is backed by Cisco Services to assist
customers with planning, customization and implementation.
New software technologies available today
include:
- Cisco Crosswork Change Automation: Automated
operations application that enables large-scale change and
closed-loop control
- Cisco Crosswork Health Insights: Smart
sensors, smart alerts and smart remediation to monitor and optimize
networks
- Cisco Crosswork Data Platform: Featuring both
an OpenSource and commercial-class data analytics platform
- Cisco Crosswork Network Insights: Cloud-based
analytics solution for solving large-scale routing issues
- Cisco Crosswork Situation Manager: Machine
learning-based event correlation featuring social tools such as
chat functions to solve repair issues quickly.
The Cisco Crosswork Network Automation solution extends
capabilities of the Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO),
offering the industry’s most comprehensive closed-loop
multi-vendor, multi-domain automation solution, with service
orchestration and automation applications that support third-party
solutions with open APIs.
Solving Customer Challenges With this new
portfolio, Cisco is uniquely offering its service provider
customers easy onboarding into the network automation process. Key
customer challenges the Cisco Crosswork Network Automation
portfolio addresses include:
- Human driven network changes are error prone, time
consuming, and lack comprehensive validation.
- Cisco Network Services Orchestrator transforms network changes
into intent-driven deployments with automatic validation
- Data silos make network data impossible to analyze and
correlate.
- Cisco Crosswork Data Platform creates a single point to
seamlessly collect, analyze, and visualize network data across
multiple services and domains
- Customer experience suffers when variations in network
quality go unnoticed.
- The Cisco Crosswork Data Platform, combined with Cisco
Crosswork Health Insights, utilizes real-time visualization with
analytics to provide unparalleled insight into network
performance.
- The time needed to manually identify network problems
results in significant business impacts when outages
occur.
- Cisco Crosswork Situation Manager uses artificial intelligence
algorithms to automatically triangulate faults across multiple
network domains, drastically reducing the time to isolate network
outages, and provide root cause analysis to prevent future
outages
- Remediating network problems is a slow and manual
process.
- Cisco Crosswork Change Automation uses analytics enhanced
closed-loop automation to automatically remediate network issues as
they happen
- Global Routing Scale errors can cause dramatic
outages.
- Cisco Crosswork Network Insights enables a cloud-first approach
for resolving challenges in the rapidly changing global routing
environment
- Networks are not continually optimized for business and
service needs.
- Cisco WAN Automation Engine (WAE) and XR Traffic Controller
(XTC) use advanced telemetry and analytics to improve network
performance in real time without human intervention
“As we remain focused on building Australia’s leading network of
the future, we are committed to delivering superior quality
networked experiences to our customers,” said David
Robertson, Director, Network Transport & Routing Engineering,
Telstra. “We are equally focused on anticipating the
challenges and opportunities that affect our business goals. Our
work with Cisco to reinvent our network operations through
orchestration, automation and advanced data models offers us
valuable insight for mass data collection, applying analytics and
machine learning, and taking decisive action through
automation.”
“Only Cisco can offer this comprehensive and holistic automation
approach to solve challenges of today’s mass scale infrastructure,”
said Jonathan Davidson, senior vice
president and general manager, Service Provider Networking,
Cisco. “Our primary goal for network automation is to help
our customers turn growing pains into growing profit, and
streamline operations so they can spend less time on tactical
‘firefighting’ and more time on identifying and trialing new
revenue streams.”
Cisco is leading disruption in the industry with our technology
innovations in systems, silicon, optics and security, and our
unrivalled expertise in mass-scale networking, automation,
optical, cable access, video, and mobility. Together with
our portfolio of professional services, we can enable service
providers and media and web companies to reduce cost and
complexity, help secure their networks and grow revenue.
