Selecting the Right Network Automation Technology

Understand how to select the right network automation technology that can support and accelerate productivity, cost reductions, and efficiency.

Itential Network Automation Platform

One of the main advantages of utilizing the pre-integrated platform is its ability to expose and interact with capabilities that already exist within your existing network.

For example, the illustration below is a screen capture from Itential’s Automation Studio, the primary interface for creation of automation workflows.  The workflow shown provides automation of DNS activities. This flow is designed as a modular component, so it can be called via an API, or an automation catalog entry, or from another workflow. Some boxes indicate interactions with the Infoblox DNS system. The creation and consumption of this automation requires no software code development. It can be created by network engineers quickly and easily, enabling those specialists to directly participate and contribute to the NetDevOps environment.

The Itential Automation Platform is able to provide this level of ease-of-use and functionality by providing the following benefits:

  1. Pre-Built Integrations with more than 100 systems, and the ability to auto-generate integrations for in-house developed systems.
  2. Integrated security model with ability to control access at a granular API-call level, eliminating the need for a separate process for managing access, and eliminating the risk of running untested scripts or unmanaged access.
  3. No-code development and execution environment allows non-developers to create automations based on their technology domain expertise.
  4. Ability to expose functionality via API or automation catalog.
  5. Robust logging capabilities to enable product owners to collect operational data and report on key metrics to demonstrate realization of business benefits.
