Abstract:
Globally, service providers are wrestling with several major challenges including exploding traffic growth, increasingly complex technologies, opex barriers to profitability, and increased pressures from the business to compress time to value. The next generation of mass-scale networks must make operations just as important as functionality. Network automation is becoming increasingly more important to telecommunications companies as the demand for more services and faster deployment increase.
Join our special webinar where you will learn insights from Heavy Reading's recent case study of how leading global telecom operator Telefónica is transforming its multivendor networks through the deployment of an automated, intent-based IP network.
In addition, attendees will hear:

  • How Telefónica's forward-looking R³ automation initiative and strategic partnership with Cisco are improving network robustness and reliability.
  • The real-world benefits expected from Telefónica's selection of Cisco's Crosswork Automation portfolio for multivendor network orchestration with closed-loop automation.

This session will also include a demo of the solutions along with some real-world use case examples.
