HPE IMC Orchestrator and Analyzer QuickSpecs
The HPE IMC Orchestrator and Analyzer is a solution that is designed to simplify network operations and management through orchestration, automation, and analytical capabilities.
It is best suited for environments that are required to scale rapidly due to exponentially growing traffic from cloud, mobile, big data applications, and IoT.
The HPE IMC Orchestrator and Analyzer accelerates service delivery and enhances operational efficiency through its automated deployment capabilities for underlay and overlay network, service provisioning for VXLAN L2/L3 services, multi−tenant provisioning, and application performance insights with application telemetry. It also provides analytics and AI capabilities to offer a holistic view of network health for faster troubleshooting and issue resolution.
