This demo walks you through the features of Cisco Crosswork Situation Manager focusing on the user interface and using a pre-recorded set of events, allows you to experience the work flow of events to situations, and using collaboration features. Scenarios Scenario 1: Crosswork Situation Manager UI Dashboard Scenario 2: System Settings Scenario 3: Inject Events to Trigger New Situations Scenario 4: View the Newly Created Situations and Alerts Scenario 5: Resolving Situations Scenario 6: Optional - Restart Crosswork Situation Manager to Repeat Demo Requirements Required:  Laptop Optional:  Cisco AnyConnect ® Components Crosswork Situation Manager (based on moogsoft AIOps 6.4.0.2) Features Crosswork Situation Manager Automatic noise reduction: Rank monitoring events by significance, enabling IT and network operations teams to focus only on relevant alerts. Up to 99 percent noise reduction without rules or filters, avoiding both false positives (useless alerts that distract operators) and false negatives (useful alerts that are filtered out before operators see them), as well as minimizing operator fatigue from excessive alert volumes. Avoids issues being lost in the noise and helps operators focus on relevant events. Algorithmic correlation: A variety of patented algorithmic and machine-learning techniques build clusters of related alerts automatically, identifying unique situations without the need for laborious development and time-intensive maintenance of rules, filters, or inventory-based service maps. Reduce incidents being created in ticketing systems (existing customers have seen 62 percent reduction of tickets), avoiding the corresponding direct and indirect costs. Delivers situational context around an issue, enabling correct prioritization, without requiring laborious creation and maintenance of rules, filters, or service maps. Cross-silo collaboration: Automatically assemble cross-disciplinary teams to work on identified situations, while avoiding distraction effect of involving unnecessarily large teams in issues where they are not required. New participants can be invited automatically (based on skills required) or manually and receive notification by email or SMS or through integration with existing notification systems. Streamlines both diagnosis and remediation by limiting size of incident teams and providing powerful collaboration tools (situation room). Existing customers have seen 30 percent reduction in customer-identified incidents and 25 percent reduction in MTTR, leading to greater quality of service for less effort. Integrated ChatOps functionality further accelerates diagnosis and remediation by integrating Cisco or external automation tools. Probable root cause: Machine-learning functionality to identify events that might be the root cause of a situation and rank them according to the confidence of that identification. Enable IT and network operations teams to start their investigation from events that have the greatest chance of being the cause of the incident, without requiring manual dependency mapping. Algorithmic knowledge capture: Suggest resolving actions captured automatically from past situations in order to speed resolution times and identify recurring issues. Assemble knowledge based on proven solutions to past situations, with inline ratings by operators to help flag useful suggestions. Provide IT and network operations teams with proven remediation actions from past situations, without requiring manual documentation to be compiled or consulted.

Overview Cisco Network Services Orchestrator ® (NSO) is the industry-leading software solution for automating services across traditional and virtualized networks. Using Cisco NSO, Service Providers can realize the promise of automation and virtualization by automating services, end-to-end, across traditional physical networks, new virtual networks, or hybrid physical/virtual topologies. One of the keys to successfully utilizing Cisco NSO is in developing effective “service models.” Service models are meant to implement “business logic” and provide a layer of abstraction between the focus of the service and the underlying hardware upon which it is implemented. This Lab focuses, at a “101 level” on the process of creating Cisco NSO service models.

Overview This dCloud demo provides access to a fully functional Ultra Services Platform (USP) to demonstrate the virtualized Cisco Mobile Packet Core solution. It includes the Ultra Gateway Platform (UGP) as a USP component together with the VNF Element Manager, the Elastic Services Controller as the VNF-M, and the full automation suite to launch all of this automatically. The demo is preconfigured with a staging server, the Ultra Automation Services and an already deployed VNF-M, VNF-EM, and UGP VNF so that the system is fully operational once it has been launched. The demo can be used first of all to monitor all the running virtual machines and related interfaces and GUIs, but is also intended to go through the steps for un-deploying and re-deploying the VNF-EM and VNF virtual machines or even to restart the full deployment from scratch. Finally, the demo can also be used to run the same set of end-to-end Virtualized Packet Core scenarios which are already provided by the existing “Cisco Virtualized Packet Core v1.2” dCloud demo. But while that demo runs all the Virtualized Packet Core (VPC) services on a single instance of StarOS in a single VM, this current demo deploys the distributed instance for the SAEGW network function and uses a separate VPC-SI implementation for the MME/SGSN network function. Scenarios Scenario 1: Monitor Scenario 2: Deploy Scenario 3: Use Components Ultra Services Platform including Ultra Gateway Platform , Ultra Automation Services, Ultra Element Manager, and Elastic Services Controller End-to-end mobile network simulation with SAEGW network function on Ultra Gateway Platform, MME/SGSN on VPC-SI and simulators for UE, eNodeB, HSS, PCRF, OCS, AAA etc. Based on Openstack Newton running on Ubuntu 16.04, using one control and seven compute nodes Features Monitor Understand the various components and features used and provided by the Cisco Ultra Services Platform Use the different GUIs provided by the Ultra Web Services, Elastic Services Controller and Openstack Horizon to understand the current capabilities and results provided by the solution Deploy Execute and analyse the procedure to undeploy and deploy the Ultra Gateway Platform and Element Manager using deployment files provided to the Ultra Automation Services Use Perform end-to-end mobile data test scenarios using the Ultra Gateway platform together with the simulated surrounding systems Understand and review the impact of running a distributed VPC system in a cloud environment Resources View the content overview: https://dcloud-cms.cisco.com/demo/cisco-ultra-services-platform-v3 Visit the Cisco dCloud help page: https://dcloud-cms.cisco.com/help.
