28. Ensemble Portfolio Components
Ensemble Connector is a high performance network virtualization platform available for hosting multi-vendor VNFs. Ensemble Orchestrator is an ETSI MANO-compliant NFV orchestration platform providing end-to-end network service and VNF lifecycle management. Ensemble Director provides traditional resource management and transport service management for physical and virtual network elements. Ensemble Controller is a set of networking applications delivered on open SDN frameworks. Ensemble Analytics leverages big data technologies that provides actionable intelligence for service orchestration and assurance. Ensemble Network Hypervisor abstracts and virtualizes the transport network for integration into a MANO/XOS management paradigm.

29. Ensemble Supporting Applications
Ensemble Portal provides end user SLA monitoring and permitted service customization. Ensemble Insights provides a data browser capability to visualize service order and lifecycle history on Orchestrator. 3rd Party Applications provide additional context and intelligence to the NFV and SDN Management and Orchestration subsystem (e.g., network policy management, inventory management, etc.). Cloud Controller provides the Virtual Infrastructure Manager capabilities required to configure and control cloud resources (compute, storage and networking).
