Description
The exponential growth of network traffic and the pressures of efficiently running network operations pose huge challenges for network operators. Providing quick, intent-based service delivery and optimal network utilization, with the ability to react to bandwidth and latency demand fluctuations in real-time is vital to success. Migration to Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) and automation of operational tasks is the optimal way for operators to accomplish these goals.
Cisco Crosswork Network Controller is an integrated network automation solution for deploying and operating IP transport networks that delivers increased service agility, cost efficiency, and optimization for faster time-to-customer value and lower operating costs. The solution combines intent-based network automation to deliver critical capabilities for service orchestration and fulfillment, network optimization, service path computation, device deployment and management, and anomaly detection with operator-selected manual or automated remediation. Cisco Crosswork Network Controller delivers network optimization capabilities that are nearly impossible to replicate even with a highly skilled and dedicated staff operating the network.
The fully integrated solution combines functionality from multiple Crosswork components installed upon a common Crosswork infrastructure, as well as industry-leading capabilities from Cisco® Network Services Orchestrator (NSO), Cisco Segment Routing Path Computation Element (SR-PCE), and Cisco Crosswork Planning. Its unified user interface provides a single pane of glass for real-time visualization of the network topology and services, provisioning, monitoring, and optimization.
