Description

The Cisco ENCS serves as a hybrid solution that integrates the capabilities of both a conventional router and a server while maintaining a compact infrastructure footprint. You can launch network services in just a matter of minutes. With the Cisco Enterprise Network Compute System, it is possible to virtualize all branch services, including routers. The ENCS 5000 offers the necessary agility and service density required for branches with limited IT resources. Designed specifically for this purpose, the 5000 Series is an optimized compute platform for running Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). Implementing VNFs streamlines operations and saves valuable time. Additionally, zero-touch automation facilitates swift and error-free deployments and management at branch locations. Cisco's commitment to an open-ecosystem strategy for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) in the 5000 Series allows for certification of VNFs from other vendors, thus ensuring both compatibility and interoperability across the network. This flexibility enhances the overall efficiency and performance of network services in diverse environments.

Description

The Cisco Elastic Services Controller (ESC) functions as a Virtual Network Functions Manager (VNFM), managing the entire lifecycle of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) from the initial onboarding and deployment phases to ongoing monitoring, scaling, healing, and eventual decommissioning. With its flexible and modular design, ESC accommodates both Cisco's VNFs and those from third-party providers, making it suitable for a variety of network settings. It integrates effortlessly into any ETSI-compliant Management and Orchestration (MANO) framework, ensuring that architectural integrity and compliance are upheld. The platform delivers in-depth visibility into service creation, allowing for effective management from the instantiation stage through critical maintenance activities like auto-scaling and healing, all the way to the final teardown of both simple and intricate multi-VNF services. By adeptly managing multi-VNF services, it offers essential tools for creating service definitions, enforcing policies, and controlling VNF placements, thus enhancing operational efficiency. Furthermore, ESC is equipped with advanced analytics capabilities and service health monitoring, which are supported by its integrated instrumentation, ensuring that network performance is continuously optimized. This comprehensive approach not only simplifies network management but also enhances the overall reliability of services deployed across diverse environments.
