Customer services across thousands of network appliances are still manually configured today. Capabilities, processes, and practices vary from platform to platform and amongst different administrative groups. This can and has led to poor customer experience, high cost of delivery & lost revenue opportunities. We decided to take a different approach to developed a multi-vendor, model-driven, highly-customizable system - capable of repeatable, predictable service and infrastructure resource configuration automation. This approach has seen us improve customer experience and standardize IT/Network interactions, enabling network services to be consumed digitally.
The Customer is the largest telecommunication company in the area with its core businesses in fixed-line, mobile, broadband, and IoT services. Cisco as a partner is helping the Customer in their transformation journey towards the next-gen network which serves to meet their scale demand and agility for 5G, Broadband, and enterprise offerings. The Customer recognizes that automation is key for increased service velocity and operational efficiency by leveraging cutting-edge technologies. NSO is a major building block in this architecture for their multi-domain and multi-layer service orchestration solution for IP and extending it to the optical network. This session covers the details pertaining to the use cases and how the solution has evolved in conjunction with network design & build.
The session guides you through common best practices and gives pointers to useful information. After the talk, you should be able to describe and motivate your design choices, as well as recognize questions to be asked next to meet future requirements.
Kristian is the author of the OpenTelemetry exporter package for NSO, which exports metrics and traces from within NSO. Tag along to see how you can leverage observability data to understand the behavior of NSO and services in your environment.
On-Demand Sessions
Use Case: Optical Orchestration Mark Swanborough, Software and Automation Practice Leader, Cisco CX Krishna Shanmughom, Customer Delivery Software Architect, Cisco CX
Optical Automation using NSO – This presentation talks about how to use NSO for automating L0, L1, and L2 services on Cisco as well as third-party optical networks like Ciena, Huawei, etc thereby helping Service Providers achieving cross-domain orchestration. Also includes Optical automation case studies, challenges and lessons learned.
Help new users of NSO understand what to expect from NSO in terms of Scale and Performance for their use case(s). Share NSO Scale and Performance capabilities for Reference Use Cases i.e. NFVO (Virtualization) and T-SDN (Physical device configuration) Core FPs.
A deep dive into NSO observability and the technical underpinnings of the opentelemetry-exporter package. See how it all works and learn how you can expand and build your own custom visualizations or how to instrument your own services for observability.
