Why Orchestrate Service Turn-Up & Turn-Down?
Because services can span across multiple types of networks and require interaction with different IT systems, it can take days, weeks, or longer to turn up a new service by using manual processes alone. This creates a backlog that prevents new services from being created in a reasonable time, and ultimately impacts the end user/customer’s ability to utilize the company’s services. Orchestration can reduce the time it takes to turn-up or turn-down a service to hours or minutes and even provide the end user/customer with a self-service portal for managing their services.
Network orchestration can help to:
- Create, modify, or remove service configurations on any network device.
- Create, modify, or remove networking services in any cloud platform.
- Integrate with IT systems like change management and sources of truth.
