Description
Network operators require the capability to automate the provisioning and management of network service paths tailored to various constraints defined by applications and end users. The NorthStar Controller, recognized as the first WAN software-defined networking (SDN) controller designed specifically for traffic optimization, assists operators in realizing this capability. It streamlines the control over segment routing and IP/MPLS flows across service provider, cloud provider, and large enterprise networks. With NorthStar Controller, operators gain detailed insights into traffic patterns while enhancing network capacity through automated processes. The system continually monitors the network in real time, collecting and analyzing streaming telemetry, IGP, and BGP-LS data to establish new service paths that align with user-defined SLA requirements. Consequently, NorthStar Controller enables you to operate your network at higher capacity utilization levels, ensuring efficiency and reliability in performance. Ultimately, this solution empowers operators to make informed decisions that maximize network capabilities while maintaining quality of service.
