Simplify and scale your network infrastructure and make it easy to operate. Prepare the network for new business models where applications can direct network behavior. Make your network infrastructure SDN—ready with segment routing. Network operators can use this technology to deploy and manage hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of complex network devices. Scale down your admin—to—device ratio and benefit from OPEX savings. This is your first step in a journey that will transform how you monitor and operate networks. Move away from SNMP limitations and extract all the relevant information at very high frequency. With the power of telemetry, you’ll discover things you never imagined and begin to ask more and better questions.

Carrier Ethernet And Edge Solutions

Combine programmability with physical hardware to create carrier class virtual services and functions. With Cisco’s Carrier Ethernet and Edge™ routing portfolio providers can profitably scale their network services, capabilities, and reach. Network architectures need to support all forms of network access, from fixed—line to 4G to Wi—Fi to cable. Additionally, assumptions about traffic patterns and capacity that have served you well in managing your edge networks are no longer relevant. To capture new market opportunities, you need a new level of virtualization, programmability, intelligence, automation, and scalability. As an industry leader in Carrier Ethernet and IP/MPLS networks, Cisco™ offers a comprehensive portfolio of Carrier Ethernet and Edge Network solutions that delivers carrier—class reliability, capacity, and scalability, end—to—end network infrastructure, enhanced hierarchical quality of service (QoS), intuitive instrumentation and management, and power efficiency. The original Carrier Ethernet specifications (Carrier Ethernet 1.0), created by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF), sought to standardize Ethernet services with the goal of providing a universal, cost—effective access technology.

OSS And Network Management

Cisco™ offers a modular portfolio of OSS and network management solutions for service providers. You get comprehensive management of evolved programmable networks, and mobility, video, cloud, and managed services. These solutions can help you get the full value of your investment in network architecture and technologies to support today’s businesses, and provide the framework to rapidly evolve over time to meet customers’ changing needs. Cisco network management and OSS solutions help you increase business agility and service availability, accelerate time to revenue for new services, optimize operational efficiency, reduce total cost of ownership, and support multivendor network deployments. Cisco™ solutions offer unified network management across Cisco architectures, technologies, and networks. These solutions provide a comprehensive, integrated life cycle network operations framework and intuitive, workflow—oriented user experiences. Gain real—time insight into network traffic with a scalable, real—time streaming analytics platform that allows for adaptation to customer environments and use cases. Simplify the life cycle management of carrier—grade networks and services by automating service design, fulfillment, assurance, and analysis tasks.
