Overview of Cisco Crosswork Optimization Engine
Cisco Crosswork Optimization Engine is part of the Cisco Crosswork Network Automation suite of products. Cisco Crosswork Optimization Engine provides real-time network optimization allowing operators to effectively maximize network utilization as well as increase service velocity.
Crosswork Optimization Engine provides the following:
-
A topology map that gives valuable real-time visualization of devices, links, link utilization, and Segment Routing (SR) policies in the network.
-
A UI that allows for easy manageability of SR policies. Crosswork Optimization Engine enables the network operator to perform the following tasks:
-
Provision SR policies and modify or remove them using an intuitive workflow
-
Continuously track SR policy dynamic path computations to maintain SLA objectives
-
Preview an SR policy before deploying it to the network
-
-
Crosswork Optimization Engine function packs (with correct licensing) that provide closed-loop optimization to define the optimization intent, implement the intent, and continuously monitor, track, and react to maintain the original intent.
-
A framework that enables other function packs that can be developed in the field to support additional use cases that are not available out of the box. By leveraging SDKs and APIs, network operators can build additional function packs to support more optimization workflows.
