Orchestration

The Orchestration stack, also known as the DataMiner Service and Resource Management (SRM) stack, focuses on maximizing efficiency with powerful automation and orchestration.

DataMiner SRM empowers ICT media and broadband teams with a versatile toolset tailored to their orchestration and automation needs. As there are no out-of-the-box one-size-fits-all automation and orchestration solutions, DataMiner allows DevOps engineers to cherry-pick the right tool for the right job, creating value in the fastest possible manner.

DataMiner supports four different use cases that can flexibly be combined within or across workflows:

  • Resource Scheduling: Keeping track of all resource schedules without automating actions, for maximum flexibility.
  • Resource Automation: Intelligent resource configuration with a click of a button.
  • Resource Orchestration: The power of Resource Scheduling combined with automatic configuration actions at the start and end time of bookings.
  • Service Orchestration: Orchestration of the complete life cycle of services.

Each of the four DataMiner SRM use cases described above relies on a combination of different DataMiner modules, as detailed below.

  • Scheduling Engine: Manage scheduled tasks in an automated way.

  • Resource Manager: Streamline and standardize the management of your resources.

  • Automation Engine: Open-architecture, fully user-definable automation engine.

  • Profile Manager: Configure complex resources repeatedly and reliably.

  • Virtualization Engine: Replace network appliance hardware with virtual machines or containers.

  • Network Manager: Calculate the paths across any network, independently from the technology and vendor used for that network.

  • Service Manager: Add a full-fledged service layer on top of your individual resources, allowing quick creation of services, full automation of the entire service life cycle, and enhanced visibility of service quality and SLAs.

  • Apps: Out-of-the-box standard application for specific tech domains, such as the Booking Manager app, which allows you to create and manage bookings using DataMiner Service & Resource Management (SRM), the DataMiner IDP (Infrastructure Discovery and Provisioning) app and the DataMiner PTP (Precision Time Protocol) app.
