Model-Driven Device Management & Control for Cloud, NFV/SDN, IoT, Appliance & Carrier-Grade Deployments With NETCONF & YANG

With the rapid convergence of technologies such as telecom, cloud, IoT and NFV, the need for more capable and heterogeneous device management solutions has become significant. While early standards such as SNMP, coupled with CLI and web interfaces, still remain relevant, a much richer set of functionality is needed in terms of scalability, security and reliability. To address the needs of these devices and applications, most of which will have some component deployed within a cloud infrastructure or cloud OS, NETCONF is fast becoming the de-facto Device Management standard for both physical and cloud-based deployments.
