TRANSPORT NETWORK AUTOMATION
NETWORK MIGRATION PROGRAMS
Swap network devices with minimum disturbance to services
When network capacity expands to accommodate more services and subscribers, device swaps need to be performed while maintaining the committed service level of the network. Transport network automation provides automated workflows that speed up the migration process and ensure that the configurations are right the first time.
When device swaps are done manually, network planning and operations teams must plan maintenance windows to carry out a significant number of service migrations. The process involves many steps, each of which must take place in the correct order and be verified to avoid the risk of losing valuable capacity and delaying service launches. Related tasks include:
- Pre-launch checks
- Redirection of traffic to the new devices
- Post-launch verification routines
- Updating data in one or more inventory and IP address management systems to reflect the new state of the network
Using an automation platform allows customers to build workflows that perform all service migration actions in an automated, scalable manner.
When the cell site routers are swapped at the sites, the network service configuration must be migrated to the new devices. Transport Network Automation enables users to build workflows that facilitate this process, ensuring smooth and timely migration to the new devices.
