IDC Key Findings

YANG adoption and engagement is high

Adoption of YANG-based modeling technologies is expanding in

key and high-impact domains

• Business network services

Netconf reflects the broader trends and requirements for

operational systems

Orchestration and Automation

Service models using YANG reuses most of the building blocks and allows easier

service creation

© IDC Visit us at IDC.com and follow us on Twitter: @IDC 21

“Service agility is the most important

characteristic, network agility, to

compete with Internet players”

“Service product managers want to

fully automate the parsing of the

service in YANG models”

n

The only combination that allows a model-based

approach for fulfillment and service assurance

For our RFPs it is a

mandatory requirement

for netconf/YANG

support on all Layer 1-3

networking products

Only started using YANG

models in last 8 months and now 6 services are available

some are fully automated

Goal of netconf/YANG is to have a

"simpler interface" to talk to devices

NETCONF/YANG is a

fundamental part of the

company's transformation to

automate services

Simplification is Fundamental

Interview Highlights: Business Network Services Use

Cases

"absolutely multi-vendor support for YANG“

“we are building an abstraction layer so that we can use YANG models from any vendor

“It is a mandatory requirement for our 4 router vendors to support YANG going forward”

Network modeling and programmability enables

business leaders to achieve Business Targets for People, Process, & Technology

YANG, NETCONF and other modeling tools

(TOSCA, OpenConfig, WebConf) are helping

100% of CSPs surveyed to achieve

Operational Targets

Role of Cognitive Technologies

Cognitive and “hyper-automation” will increasingly impact networking

Impact of network evolution on operations:• Customers and CSP corporate plans demand agility

• SDN/NFV progress opens up new ways to run networks

Impact of data innovations on operations:• Open interfaces and data sources provide new types and volumes of data

• Big data/analytics innovations open up new ways to use data

Essential Guidance

Diverse, broad-based efforts to simplify networks are underway

Automation is a foundational step to achieving other goals Assess which part(s) of the network infrastructure are most important

Frame the discussion with both cost savings and business revenue enablement

Expect further developments in network automation

Foundation for Full Lifecycle Service Automation

Infrastructure

Cisco Orchestration ArchitectureHigh Level View

• Model-driven end-to-end service lifecycle and customer experience in focus

• Seamless integration with existing and future OSS/BSS environment

• Loosely-coupled and modular architecture leveraging open APIs and standard protocols

• Orchestration across multi-domain and multi-layer for centralized policy and services across entire network

Customer owns lifecycle of formal service definition

• Product management defines the services

• Infrastructure team deploys and manages

• Order Management team consumes the services

What You Gain with Cisco Automation

• Agility throughout service lifecycle

• Full automation

• Robust and proven in tier-1 deployments

• Industry’s broadest multivendor support

• Most scalable service orchestration

• ETSI MANO compliant NFVO, VNFM

• Relevant in today’s and tomorrow’s networks
