Network Automation Expansion Certification Training with Koenig Solutions

Course Overview

What is Network Automation Expansion?

Network Automation Expansion is a comprehensive software platform published by Cisco, designed to simplify and modernize network operations by enabling automated, closed-loop control across complex, multivendor environments. It addresses the challenge of managing growing network scale and service velocity by integrating visibility, insights, and action into a unified automation framework. The platform sits at the core of Cisco’s Crosswork suite, supporting end-to-end service lifecycle management from planning to assurance. Key components include Crosswork Network Controller for IP and optical network automation, Network Services Orchestrator for end-to-end service provisioning, Crosswork Hierarchical Controller for multilayer network visualization, Crosswork Workflow Manager for repeatable operational processes, Crosswork Planning for AI-driven capacity forecasting, Evolved Programmable Network Manager for unified domain management, and Network Insights and Traffic Analysis for proactive traffic optimization. This technology is for network engineers, automation architects, and operations teams responsible for managing large-scale, multidomain networks who need to reduce manual intervention, improve service accuracy, and accelerate response to dynamic business demands through reliable, model-driven automation.
