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.
