DriveNets Network Orchestrator (DNOR) is purposely-designed to address the

unique challenges that Communication Service Providers (CSP) face when

deploying, integrating and managing a disaggregated network. Centrally
orchestrating the smooth operation of every Network Cloud element, DNOR delivers
carrier-grade scalable manageability with end-to-end automation and data-driven
decision making.

Fully Automated Lifecycle Management

DNOR deploys a fully automatic process to turn the discrete and disaggregated
software and hardware elements of Network Cloud into complete routing entities.
From zero-touch installation to hitless decommissioning, DNOR manages the full
lifecycle of every Network Cloud element, both separately and as a whole.

Disaggregated networks present an integration and orchestration challenge.

Hardware and software from multiple providers and locations need to come together
at the right time and in the right sequence in order to create a manageable whole.
This challenge is even more important in the case of Network Cloud, with its
unprecedented scalability and cluster-driven extreme port density.

 DNOR was built for this task – from assembling a standalone disaggregated
router to building huge routing clusters.
 DNOR automates the entire network lifecycle and provides an intuitive user
interface to control and track every process, from Network Cloud deployment
to the addition of services through upgrade.
 DNOR provides northbound APIs for easy integration with third party
orchestrators, OSS/BSS and inventory management systems.

Network intelligence &

analytics

With complete network visibility, DNOR collects a wealth of data about Network
Cloud – including performance metrics, fault statistics and traffic data.

 Generates a unique end-to-end visibility of the network and its behavior. This
data is accessible through an intuitive user interface.
 Applies advanced AI analytics tools, and will enable machine learning-based
operations of the network (future release of DNOR).
 Predicts faults, congestion and potential optimizations and configures Network
Cloud to avoid or take advantage of such developments.
Next-generation Service Provisioning

Coupling network intelligence with complete software-centric gear control, future

releases of DNOR will take a central position in the service orchestration stack.
DNOR is built as a next-generation orchestrating system that is ready not only to
manage network elements, but also to provision services.

 Network Cloud’s consolidated and unified network model enables a simplified

and highly automatic service creation chain.
 DNOR takes advantage of that capability to provision network-wide services
simply and automatically.
 Future releases will support multiple service models, including self-service
modules that will allow end customers to order and provision services on tap.
