I use Cisco Crosswork Network Automation for closed-loop network automation, mass configuration deployment, and real-time telemetry to manage traffic optimization during large-scale network consolidations. This is from one of the major post-merger integrations that I was involved with, where I used Cisco Crosswork Network Automation's optimization engine and telemetry to dynamically steer traffic from congested links before decommissioning duplicated sites. By automating segment routing policies based on real-time latency and bandwidth thresholds, I was able to cut over maintenance windows by roughly half, with zero packet loss or subscriber disruption.

My main use case for Cisco Crosswork Network Automation is network lifecycle automation, real-time telemetry collection, and configuration change and orchestration. I have an outstanding capability to process massive volumes of streaming telemetry via Cisco Crosswork Network Automation and gain insight to detect network anomalies significantly faster than traditional SNMP polling. Multi-vendor capability while optimized for Cisco hardware, it interfaces smoothly with third-party devices using the OpenYANG model and standard API, and that covers my main use case.
Network Automation streamlines IT processes by reducing manual interventions, facilitating efficient management, and enhancing network reliability.Network Automation allows organizations to efficiently manage and optimize their infrastructure through automated solutions often preferred by network administrators.
