Orange Launches Next-Gen Cisco Network Automation Capabilities Across Its IP and Data Portfolio
01 February 2018 - 6:00PM
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
reduce cost and complexity, help secure their networks, and grow
