Xacria’s flagship product, Xacria Network Orchestrator (XNO), is a highly advanced orchestration platform designed to streamline complex network operations. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies like Big Data, event-driven microservices and containerisation, XNO transforms how organisations manage and automate their networks. It offers a solution that goes beyond traditional automation, enabling seamless interactions across multiple vendors, domains and environments. XNO empowers service providers with the tools to scale their operations efficiently, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction. What is XNO?

automated workflows that dynamically manage the network infrastructure. This simplifies complex operations, making it easier to deploy services, resolve issues and adapt to changes in demand. The platform’s architecture is built on a distributed microservices foundation, incorporating key components such as Kubernetes for container orchestration, Kafka for messaging, and MongoDB for data management. This architecture ensures that XNO can scale effortlessly to meet the needs of large telecommunications networks while maintaining flexibility and reliability.
