Orchestrate the lifecycle of SD-WAN services including Cisco iWAN (Intelligent WAN).  Create, modify, repair and delete SD-WAN services on customer demand, within minutes or seconds. NSO creates, modifies, repairs and deletes SD-WAN hubs and branches for Service Provider customers.  For Cisco iWAN services, NSO uses the IWAN and vBranch Function Packs.  These have built in service definitions to match the Cisco Validated Design (CVD) for iWAN.  Both physical and virtual branch sites are supported. For other SD-WAN services, NSO has NEDs for solutions from Versa, Silverpeak, ODL and others. ... View more

Simplify the management of Access Control Lists (ACLs) across network devices. Update ACLs on multiple devices on demand, ensuring that security policies are applied consistently across the entire infrastructure. NSO has service models corresponding to the desired security policies, and generates ACLs matching the desired policy.  Policies are translated into the exact syntax needed for the specific vendors and devices, delivered to the device using the appropriate NED. ...

Orchestrate the lifecycle of a virtual service.  Create, modify, repair and delete virtualized services on customer demand, within minutes or seconds. NSO has a Network Service Descriptor (NSD) for each virtualized service, that describes each Virtual Network Function (VNF) that makes up the virtual service and also how the VNFs are chained together. NSO uses the NFV Orchestrator (NFVO) NSO Package to control a VNF Manager such as Cisco's Elastic Services Controller (ESC) and Virtual Infrastructure Managers (VIMs) such as OpenStack and vSphere. ...

Simplify the deployment of a new device (e.g., a router).  Construct and deliver the initial (day 1) config for the device, reducing the manual effort required and reducing the risk of errors. NSO has configuration templates for the different device types and roles, and it takes the device-specific parameters for that device and applies them to the appropriate template.  The engineer can choose to preview the config before it is sent to the device, if desired.  NSO then sends the configuration to the device, and has the ability to save the config, reboot the device, etc.  NSO can manage multiple devices in one operation, and retry any failures. ...
