Description

Achieve flexible resource management through the implementation of automation guided by standardized policies for data center operations. By ensuring consistent policy administration across various on-premises and cloud environments, you can enhance security, governance, and compliance. This approach guarantees business continuity, effective disaster recovery, and secure networking under a zero-trust security framework. Moreover, it transforms Day 2 operations into a proactive model that automates troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and remediation tasks. This not only optimizes performance but also allows for single-click access to facilitate automation and centralized control. Extend your on-premises ACI networks seamlessly to remote sites, bare-metal clouds, and colocation facilities without the need for additional hardware. Cisco's Multi-Site Orchestrator plays a crucial role by offering provisioning, health monitoring, and management of Cisco ACI networking policies, among other functionalities. This comprehensive solution streamlines network connectivity, maintains uniform policy management, and simplifies operations across various multicloud settings, ultimately enhancing operational efficiency and scalability for enterprises.

Description

The Cisco Elastic Services Controller (ESC) functions as a Virtual Network Functions Manager (VNFM), managing the entire lifecycle of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) from the initial onboarding and deployment phases to ongoing monitoring, scaling, healing, and eventual decommissioning. With its flexible and modular design, ESC accommodates both Cisco's VNFs and those from third-party providers, making it suitable for a variety of network settings. It integrates effortlessly into any ETSI-compliant Management and Orchestration (MANO) framework, ensuring that architectural integrity and compliance are upheld. The platform delivers in-depth visibility into service creation, allowing for effective management from the instantiation stage through critical maintenance activities like auto-scaling and healing, all the way to the final teardown of both simple and intricate multi-VNF services. By adeptly managing multi-VNF services, it offers essential tools for creating service definitions, enforcing policies, and controlling VNF placements, thus enhancing operational efficiency. Furthermore, ESC is equipped with advanced analytics capabilities and service health monitoring, which are supported by its integrated instrumentation, ensuring that network performance is continuously optimized. This comprehensive approach not only simplifies network management but also enhances the overall reliability of services deployed across diverse environments.
