Rana El Desouky Kazamel and Tom Footit discuss Cisco Crosswork and Accedian’s collaboration for automated assurance in mass scale networks. They assist network operators in monitoring services, monetizing SLAs, and enhancing digital experiences. Providing a single pane of glass across multi-vendor networks, they map services to network operations.
Their framework simplifies mass scale networks, including workflow definition, service provisioning, visibility, assurance, planning, and optimization. They stress intent-based assurance, commencing with service intent and SLA metrics.
Tom elaborates on Accedian’s capabilities, leveraging sensors (probes) for generating test traffic and collecting data to analyze network behavior, predict issues, and ensure SLA compliance. They aim to equip operators with proactive network management tools, ensuring service quality, and streamlined issue response.
