7 Reasons Why Network Automation is a Game Changer

Network engineers are struggling to keep up

Expanding network infrastructure. AI adoption. A new data centre. How do you keep up with daily activities and support new initiatives at the same time?

Spending nights and weekends managing devices one at a time isn't a winning strategy — yet 67% of enterprise networking tasks are still performed manually. Backups, security vulnerabilities, configuration changes and upgrades all keep coming.

Network automation is a game changer. Here's how

Centralizes visibilityNetwork automation builds and maintains a comprehensive network device inventory — manufacturer, type, model number, firmware, and software version — essential for ensuring devices are in a known and trusted state.
Simplifies managementA vendor-agnostic approach automates functions across devices from a wide range of vendors, spanning multi-cloud and on-premises environments, reducing complexity and increasing efficiency.
Standardizes processesPre-built automations for tasks like backups, OS updates, and configuration changes — along with a no-code way to customize — increase consistency and free up NetOps teams to focus on strategic business initiatives.
Streamlines complianceConfiguration checks can run against internal policies or external standards such as CIS benchmarks after every device change, and then automatically groom devices back into compliance based on parameters you set.
Strengthens securityTrack vulnerabilities relevant to your environment, score them with context, and prioritize remediation based on security and downtime risks to safeguard your network faster.
Boosts resilience at scaleDeploy new services, devices, and applications rapidly, make updates and changes regularly, and detect and remediate errors quickly, to ensure scalability and consistent performance.
Powers Agentic NetOpsAutomation provides a trusted and reliable network source of truth that AI agents can consult to answer questions, identify anomalies, and make recommendations.
