One word describes the life of network operations, and that word is complex. It’s no wonder when your responsibility is to maintain multi-layer IP and Optical networks that span multiple domains built on top of multiple vendors.

Tune in to this episode to learn from the experts on how customers are using Cisco Crosswork Hierarchical Controller to deliver operational excellence.  Tasks are simplified across all phases of the operational lifecycle.  With pre-integrated management to most IP and optical vendors, you gain unparalleled visibility through a unifying controller.  Through the single pane of glass, intuitively see the status of network services mapped across all layers of your network.  Leverage real-time and historical data to gain insights for assurance and optimization. Then translate the analytics into prescriptive actions that can be fully automated.

S8|E48 Simplify Your Network Operations with Cisco Hierarchical Controller

Routed optical networking, part of the Converged SDN Transport Architecture, is a new network paradigm that delivers improved operational efficiencies and simplicity. The solution works by merging IP and private line services onto a single layer where all the switching is done at Layer 3. Routers are connected hop-by-hop with standardized pluggable coherent optics.
 
With a single service layer based upon IP, flexible management tools can leverage telemetry and model-driven programmability to streamline lifecycle operations. This simplified architecture integrates open data models and standard APIs, enabling a provider to focus on automation initiatives for a simpler topology.
