-- Cisco Live - Over
the next five years, strong growth in the number of mobile users,
business digitization demands, Internet of Things (IoT) connections
and mobile video consumption will place significant challenges on
networks. The increasing traffic has yet to show an equivalent
growth in ARPU.
As service providers prepare for the next wave of
network speed, extensive architectural transformation involving
programmability and automation will be needed to support these
capabilities and future innovations, including the evolution of
enterprise services, 5G, and IoT.
Orange knew it could reduce CapEx and OpEx by
implementing new architectures on platforms ready for mass-scale
networking and by automating a large number of tasks and
operations. The company has taken the initiative to improve its
business efficiency by deploying the Cisco® Network
Services Orchestrator (NSO) software platform to its current and
future network as a foundation for infrastructure programmability
and automating method of procedure (MOP) operations and
customer-facing services.
As a key technology enabler, Cisco NSO will help
Orange and its subsidiaries realize new benefits, including:
- Providing a highly efficient abstraction layer
between network services and the underlying infrastructure
components, even in complex, heterogeneous environments
- Reducing service activation times from days to
hours and dramatically increasing TTM for critical service
offerings
- Automating its service lifecycles and reducing
manual configuration steps by as much as 90 percent across the
spectrum of mobile and enterprise networks, including zero-touch
provisioning of network devices
- Empowering Orange teams along their journey
toward SDN and NFV through use of an open, modern programmable
platform
- Reducing failed service activations and network
issues by removing risk of human error
"Cisco's model-driven approach to network
automation and service orchestration is enabling Orange to
drastically speed delivery of services across our entire
lifecycles," said Christian Gacon,
vice president, Wireline Networks and Infrastructure,
Orange. "Global deployment of Cisco NSO also provides
uniform configuration management tools and consumable network APIs
for business applications and customer self-service portals."
"Visionary service providers like Orange recognize
the value network automation and SDN offer to drive innovation
in their markets," said Yves Padrines,
vice president, Global Service Provider EMEAR,
Cisco. "Cisco's network automation software and
product portfolio enables carriers to simplify their operations
through sophisticated data analysis and proactive control, helping
them to continue delivering superior customer experiences without
interruption."
Cisco is leading the disruption in the industry
with our technology innovations in systems, silicon, optics, and
security and our unrivalled expertise in mass-scale
networking, automation, optical, cable access, video, and mobility.
Together with our portfolio of professional services, we
can enable service providers and media and web companies to
