DriveNets Network Orchestrator

DriveNets Network Orchestrator (DNOR) is a cloud-native orchestration system designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of the DriveNets Network Cloud solution.

DNOR eliminates operational complexity by orchestrating and managing the entire Network Cloud solution like an integrated single-vendor network. Unlike traditional black box solutions, DNOR offers greater control, visibility and insights with both granular and complete views of the system — including hardware components, firmware or software containers across clusters, and other cluster elements. It manages the infrastructure lifecycle, including the bootstrapping, provisioning, upgrading, configuration and troubleshooting of DriveNets Network Operating System (DNOS). This accelerates problem resolution, increases availability, and ensures optimized network performance.

Features & Benefits

DNOR screen 3

Zero-touch provisioning (ZTP)

  • Rapid deployment without manual intervention

Consistent single-entity management

  • Any deployment type (standalone/cluster) is managed as a single entity, regardless of topology, size or location​

Smart roll-out automation

  • Easily and systematically push software stacks or patches across the entire DNOS network during maintenance windows.​

Streamlined network operations

  • Operates with the same level of simplicity as monolithic routers while leveraging the benefits of disaggregated open architecture
  • Centralized dashboard to manage software-based network elements across edge, aggregation and core network domains with programmable controls

No maintenance windows (NMW)

  • Seamless software update/upgrade of live traffic (under one second of traffic loss) offers ‘Always On’ IP services and eliminate the need for maintenance window coordination

AIOps – Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

  • Automatically analyze logs in real time to detect incidents and provide root cause.

Granular cluster topology visibility

  • Real-time view of cluster elements, states, formation and connectivity
  • Cluster and network-wide levels

Advanced fault and performance management

  • Real-time alarm monitoring
  • Technical support tools
  • Advanced analytics

Standard northbound interfaces

  • Open APIs
  • OpenConfig/YANG models
