What is NSO300?

NSO3000 is a high-performance network orchestrator that simplifies and centralizes your network management, making it easier and more efficient to manage even the most complex networks. This advanced course builds upon your existing Python knowledge and delves deeper into integrating it with NSO's capabilities. You will learn to orchestrate networks with the power of code, unlocking a new level of efficiency and agility.

How does NSO300 work?

Cisco NSO for Advanced Python Programmers (NSO300) works as a powerful toolkit for building and managing complex network automation solutions. NSO300 lets you write custom scripts and templates using Python, giving you ultimate control over how your network automates tasks and interacts with devices. Think of it as building custom blueprints for your network's behavior.

Benefits of NSO300:

• Enhanced Network Automation: Automate complex and repetitive network tasks with Python scripting in NSO.
• Increased Efficiency and Agility: Streamline network operations and respond quickly to changing network demands.
• Reduced Operational Costs: Automate manual processes and reduce human error, leading to cost savings.
• Future-proof Network Skills: Develop advanced skills in network automation and orchestration, highly sought-after in the modern IT landscape.

Who uses NSO300?

• Service Providers: Telecom companies, cable operators, and ISPs who need to manage large, dynamic networks with frequent service changes and high volume traffic.
• Data Centers: Large enterprises and cloud providers with extensive server infrastructure and the need for automated network provisioning and orchestration.
• Government Agencies: Public institutions with secure, mission-critical networks requiring centralized management and robust security features.
• Financial Institutions: Banks, investment firms, and other financial entities needing reliable and secure network infrastructure for critical financial transactions.
• Network Architects: Network architects designing and implementing automated network solutions.

What will you learn here?

• Advanced Service Design: Craft sophisticated services leveraging Python scripting, extending NSO's built-in functionality.
• Network Element Drivers (NEDs): Develop custom drivers for interacting with your specific network devices.
• Service Modeling with YANG: Master YANG data modeling to represent your network elements and services accurately.
• Configuration Management: Automate configuration tasks with meticulous control and precision.
• Network Systems Operations: Orchestrate complex network workflows, including provisioning, upgrades, and troubleshooting.
