Overview
Itential Pronghorn enhances Cisco® Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) by enabling the creation of operational models. Operational models complement NSO functionality by providing comprehensive instructions that are customized for the service providers and enterprises that deploy NSO service models.
Operational models in Itential Pronghorn describe the processes by which service providers and enterprises deploy network changes. These processes consist both of automated and manual steps. The model can include interfaces to other systems to provide information required to perform the overall process goal or to complete some part of the process. By defining the processes in a model, organizations can evolve models over time until they are optimized.
