Cisco Process Orchestrator 3.0  
Integrations and Automation Packs 
 
The central function of an orchestrator is to integrate domain managers and other 
tools in the environment. Cisco Process Orchestrator integrates with these tools rather 
than trying to replace their function through automation. The orchestrator spans the 
gaps of how you want domain managers to work together. Examples include: 
  Application provisioning via Puppet or Chef 
  Event Application provisioning via Puppet or Chef 
  Event correlation and response through Event Managers.  
An Orchestrator should receive only the events that require further analysis, 
ticket enrichment, and remediation. 
  Service Desks  
  Change Management systems 
 Provisioning 
systems 
 Configuration 
tools 
 Configuration 
management databases 
 Virtualization 
management tools 
 Security 
tools 
Process Orchestrator integrates with these domain managers and other elements of 
the IT environment through two features: adapters and automation packs.
