Carrier-grade integration Sedona Systems is now part of Cisco and has a strong legacy in multilayer network intelligence and automation for service providers. This presents a sales opportunity to position NetFusion as a carrier-grade solution within Cisco’s ecosystem, appealing to Tier 1 operators seeking integrated SDN and multi-layer control.

Multi-layer visibility NetFusion discovers L0-L3 layers and offers data-driven optimization with zero-touch configuration. This capability can be pitched to operators facing growing WAN complexity who want automated provisioning, service assurance, and cross-domain orchestration across transport and IP networks.

SDN and 5G readiness Cisco’s acquisition context and NetFusion’s converged IP/optical control align with carrier moves toward 5G slicing and scalable optical routing. A sales angle is offering a path to accelerate SDN benefits and enable new 5G services with proven multi-domain support.

Global Tier 1 deployments Sedona’s solutions are deployed in production networks of Tier 1 service providers worldwide. This track record can be leveraged to build credibility with prospective operators by showcasing proven resilience, capacity optimization, and multi-vendor interoperability.
