The Cisco NSO platform will significantly optimize the automation, agility, and reliability of Telefónica's network, accelerating the deployment of new services from months to minutes through automated, on-demand provisioning. It will also enable the faster launch of new B2B services, increasing efficiency and service quality for its global customers.
With a service offering available in 130 countries and a network serving more than 320 million customers - including consumers, SMEs and some of the world's largest Enterprises and Wholesale operators - Telefónica is carrying out a strategic transformation by digitizing its network operations, moving from manual and workflow-based provisioning to the YANG-based DevOps service model (Development and Operations based on the YANG modeling language).
In this way, Telefónica can now easily change and reconfigure service models without having to resort to manual updates (usually time-consuming and prone to failure) and re-provision network services to provide greater value to its customers.
The exponential growth of network traffic and the infrastructure that supports it has resulted in more complex and costly networks for service providers to manage. These providers, in turn, must offer new services with greater speed and quality to compete in the market. Cisco NSO can simplify network operations for leading providers like Telefónica by automating the entire service lifecycle and reducing manual configuration processes by up to 90 percent.
To achieve this, Cisco NSO provides a highly efficient abstraction layer between network services and the underlying infrastructure components. Designed to automate any service or device—even in complex and heterogeneous environments—the platform is used by the world's leading operators to achieve the speed, simplicity, and automation needed to deliver new, differentiated, and competitive services at software speed.
