Description
SURF has fully orchestrated its network and is now advancing NOC efficiency by integrating real-time data and automating daily operations. In 2025, SURF will begin migrating its fully orchestrated SURFnet8 to SURFnet ∞, facing challenges in leveraging growing telemetry data and AI-driven network management. This talk explores the evolution of SURF's orchestration stack, how the number of datasources (OSS/BSS) influences the efficacy of our NOC, the role of AI in network operations, and the broader impact on NRENs adopting automation. It aims to inspire collaboration, share use cases, and foster discussions on how Automation & Orchestration can use AI and a high level of integration with OSS/BSS to lighten the workload for NOC engineers.
