Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cisco NSO?
Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) is a software platform that enables network automation. It allows organizations to automate the configuration, provisioning, and management of network devices across multi-vendor environments.
Why is High Availability important for NSO?
High Availability (HA) is crucial for NSO in production environments because network automation underpins many critical business operations. If NSO goes down, network changes cannot be made, potentially disrupting services and impacting revenue.
What does 'ESC Server License' mean in this context?
ESC likely refers to 'Enterprise Service Controller' or a similar component within Cisco's licensing framework for NSO. This specific license enables the high availability functionality for the NSO server.
