What is Cisco Elastic Services Controller?

The Cisco Elastic Services Controller (ESC) operates as a Virtual Network Functions Manager (VNFM), overseeing the complete lifecycle of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) from their initial onboarding and deployment to ongoing tasks such as monitoring, scaling, healing, and eventual retirement. Its adaptable and modular architecture supports both Cisco's own VNFs and those provided by third-party vendors, making it versatile for various network environments. Seamlessly integrating into any ETSI-compliant Management and Orchestration (MANO) framework, ESC maintains the integrity and compliance of the overall architecture. The platform offers extensive visibility into the creation of services, facilitating effective management from the initial instantiation through crucial maintenance processes, including auto-scaling and healing, all the way to the final dismantling of both straightforward and complex multi-VNF services. By skillfully managing these multi-VNF services, ESC provides vital tools for establishing service definitions, implementing policies, and managing VNF placements, thereby improving operational efficiency. Additionally, ESC incorporates sophisticated analytics and service health monitoring capabilities, bolstered by its built-in instrumentation, which guarantees continuous optimization of network performance. This all-encompassing strategy not only streamlines network management but also significantly boosts the reliability of services implemented across various settings, ultimately leading to improved user experiences and operational outcomes.

What is Cisco ACI?

Achieving flexible resource management can be accomplished through the automation of data center operations, guided by well-defined, standardized policies. By maintaining consistent adherence to these policies across both on-premises and cloud environments, organizations can significantly improve their security, governance, and compliance. This strategic approach not only ensures business continuity and effective disaster recovery but also promotes secure networking within a zero-trust security framework. Additionally, it transforms Day 2 operations into a proactive environment that automates troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and remediation processes. As a result, performance is optimized, and users benefit from single-click access that enhances automation and centralized control. Furthermore, you can effortlessly extend your on-premises ACI networks to remote locations, bare-metal clouds, and colocation facilities without necessitating extra hardware. The role of Cisco's Multi-Site Orchestrator is pivotal, providing provisioning, health monitoring, and management capabilities for Cisco ACI networking policies, among other essential features. This all-encompassing solution not only streamlines network connectivity but also ensures uniform policy administration and simplifies operations across diverse multicloud environments. Ultimately, this leads to improved operational efficiency and scalability for enterprises, positioning them for sustained growth in an ever-evolving digital landscape. By leveraging these advancements, organizations can remain competitive and responsive to the changing demands of the market.
