Deutsche Telekom Germany has selected Netcracker for its network and service automation initiative.
Deutsche Telekom will utilize Network Domain Orchestration solution delivered through Agile methodology to automate multi-domain network discovery and visualization; multi-layer traffic optimization; IP and optical backbone provisioning; and multi-vendor network orchestration.

Netcracker’s Network Domain Orchestration solution will integrate dozens of IP devices and SDN controllers from more than 5 different major hardware vendors. Automation is expected to reduce provisioning time and effort by more than half.
