About Cisco Elastic Services Controller
Cisco Elastic Services Controller (ESC) is a Virtual Network Functions Manager (VNFM) that oversees the complete lifecycle of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), from onboarding and deployment to monitoring, scaling, healing, and decommissioning. Designed with an open and modular architecture, ESC supports both Cisco and third-party VNFs, ensuring flexibility in diverse network environments. It integrates seamlessly into any ETSI-compliant Management and Orchestration (MANO) stack, maintaining architectural control and compliance. ESC offers comprehensive insight into service creation, enabling oversight from instantiation through maintenance tasks like auto-scaling and healing, to teardown for both simple and complex, multi-VNF services. It intelligently handles multi-VNF services by providing tools for service definitions, policy enforcement, and VNF placement control. Advanced analytics and service health monitoring are facilitated through integrated instrumentation.
