Organize Network Resources
Cisco Network Services Manager organizes resources into a flexible cloud infrastructure.
Today's virtualized cloud-based services require:
- New levels of automation, mobility, and scale from the network
- Control and speed to match the availability of virtual resources within the data center
To meet these requirements, Cisco has introduced the Network Positioning System. This system exposes the underlying intelligence in the network to cloud-based applications and management solutions.
Applications often have little knowledge of IP topology, and can be deployed into sub-optimal locations from a network point-of-view. This can result in:
- Excessive consumption of network resources
- Diminished application performance
- Added costs to the network provider
Cisco Network Positioning System locates and uses the best resources from the cloud. This system:
- Helps provision and manage virtual cloud-based services and other network applications
- Is built on advanced network features
- Uses the intelligence inside the Cisco Intelligent Network
- Further aggregates data center resources and services to simplify multi-tenant cloud provisioning
The Cisco Network Positioning System provides real-time information about the network, including:
- Proximity
- Performance
- Capabilities
The Cisco Network Positioning System understands which capabilities are available across the network and connected data centers. This real-time information, used in conjunction with a provisioning and orchestration solution, helps distribute workload and best use resources in the cloud.
