Within the past few years, organizations have begun to recognize the business and technical benefits of network automation; their efforts to automate within their domains has driven significant improvements in productivity and efficiency. Encouraged by these results, many organizations are now looking to the next wave of network orchestration with high expectations – orchestration across technology domains, more commonly known as Multi-Domain Service Orchestration (MDSO).
Early adopters have learned that capabilities to effectively leverage automation and orchestration at the domain level do not necessarily translate to the MDSO layer. While the potential benefits of MDSO are high, there are unique challenges in multi-domain deployments that organizations must tackle.
In this webinar, Morgan Stern, VP of Automation Strategy, and Steven Schattenberg, Solution Architect, at Itential discuss:
- The drivers behind an organization’s need to transition from single domain to multi-domain service orchestration.
- The challenges that arise when making that transition and the solutions to overcome them.
- Lessons learned in the field from real-world MDSO implementations in some of the largest networks in the world.
- How Itential’s unique approach to automation and orchestration is helping organizations to successfully implement MDSO.
