As a service provider, you’re on the leading edge of digitization and network transformation. But the world is changing fast, and you’re up against real challenges. Traditional services have become more commoditized, and providers like you face increasing competitive pressure and changing customer expectations.
What if you could turn those challenges into a serious competitive advantage? To differentiate, you need to transform and evolve to a more open, software-defined, automated network. This mass-scale network transformation sets the stage for three key benefits. It enables you to:
To achieve these goals, you need to consider them holistically, and implement an agile network that can easily scale to enable additional services.
Growing revenues requires end-to-end granular control for different traffic types and associated Service Level Agreements (SLAs). You also need the ability to push applications deeper into the network, extending SLAs into the applications to support a personalized network experience that will command a higher price point.
Segment Routing enables these personalized experiences by scaling many different SLAs out across your network so you can cost-effectively converge multiple services and applications over the same network infrastructure.
Automation and orchestration in a closed-loop operations model provide you with the mass awareness, augmented intelligence, and proactive control that you need in order to reduce your operational costs.
To mitigate risk, you need a safe baseline from which to offer these services, based on highly secure hardware and OS. By measuring and monitoring the secure unique device identifiers (SUDI) in your routing infrastructure systems, you can validate the integrity of your network and ensure it is under your complete control.
A mass-scale network transformation architecture positions you to achieve these benefits. The end-to-end portfolio encompasses:
In this eBook, we will present an overview of key components of the architecture and discuss how the unique Cisco technologies and solutions enable you to grow revenue, reduce cost, and mitigate risk within your own organization.
