Automation and Orchestration at Cisco Live – US

With Cisco Live in San Diego fast approaching next week, we are in plate spinning mode, but I did want to take moment to call out the “must see” demos and sessions related to network automation and orchestration.

Demos

This year we are part of the Service Provider area of the Cisco campus in the world of solutions.  You’ll be able to see the very first public showing of a new NSO core function pack for SR-TE which is part of a broader solution we’ll be unveiling in a few months.  While you are there you should also check our the rest of the Crosswork demos–they have a lot of cool things going on around SP-grade automation and orchestration (and you’ll see that NSO plays an important role across the entire portfolio).
