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.

Description

Improved full-lifecycle cloud native development capabilities empower customers to create future-ready applications. By harnessing the full power of the cloud today, businesses can develop applications designed for tomorrow's needs. Historically, cloud adoption strategies have concentrated on infrastructure and application migration, often neglecting the essential updates needed in the underlying code. Although the cloud has consistently provided advantages like elasticity and scalability, its complete potential can only be realized when the application code is modernized. Embracing cloud native technologies and contemporary architectures enables the development of modern applications that tap into the cloud's full capabilities, enhance agility, and expedite innovation. Create self-healing and auto-scaling applications that are free from server constraints. Serverless architectures not only optimize efficiency and cost but also delegate the majority of infrastructure and software management tasks to the platform, resulting in a more streamlined development process. This shift allows organizations to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure, paving the way for groundbreaking advancements.
