Itential’s Integration, Federation, & Data Transformation Capabilities
Itential’s API-first approach to network automation and orchestration is transforming how we manage today’s complex, distributed networks. By seamlessly integrating with any network — physical, virtual, or cloud — and any IT system, and translating all data into a common language (JSON), Itential provides a unified, real-time federated view of your resources and data, simplifying automation and reducing complexity.
Our patented approach removes the need to learn multiple technologies, helping teams deploy, manage, and maintain network infrastructure with less time and effort.
Dynamic Integrations for API & CLI Assets
Itential’s no-code API integration capabilities remove the typical complexities and costs tied to orchestration. This allows you to quickly build powerful workflows that seamlessly interact with every system in your network and IT process.
- Extensive Pre-Built Integration Library
Access 300+ pre-built integrations and growing — the most comprehensive library available. - Build Your Own Integration
Have custom or homegrown systems? No problem, easily build your own integration with Itential’s no-code adapter builder in minutes. - Integrate Scripts & Custom-Built Automations
Easily integrate with and utilize Python Scripts, Ansible Playbooks, and Terraform/OpenTofu Plans within end-to-end workflow orchestrations.
Real-Time, Federated View of Controllers, Clouds, & Networks
Itential’s patented approach to network data federation centralizes business logic across all devices, resources, and systems — across distributed network infrastructure.
- Unified Device Management Across Distributed Networks
Easily correlate and manage devices from multiple network domains with a single, centralized directory that displays device types and locations across your entire infrastructure. - Real-Time Visibility to Connected Assets
Leverage real-time data ingestion from southbound systems to create a global, up-to-the-minute directory of all network devices and infrastructure. - Dynamic Response to Network Changes
Automatically detect and update changes like new deployments or device decommissioning, ensuring your network view stays current.
Transform Data Between Diverse Systems on the Fly
Itential’s patented data modeling and translation unify connections between networks and systems with different data models by converting them into a common, human-readable JSON format.
- Reusable JSON Schema Transformations (JSTs)
Build once, reuse everywhere. Engineers can repurpose any JST for other workflows that need similar data transformations. - Pre-Built Data Transformation Library
Access a vast library of pre-built data transformations, ready for use or modification across multiple workflows.
Flexible Northbound Exposure Model
Itential’s northbound exposure model empowers a broad range of systems, pipelines, and users to make network requests and experience fast, cloud-like service delivery.
- Unified Network API
Provide a single, aggregated API for self-service network access, enabling other IT teams to easily consume network services. - Integrate with CI/CD Pipelines
Allow developers and pipeline owners to incorporate Itential’s workflows into their CI/CD pipelines, delivering self-service network capabilities to IT teams. - Zero Touch Automation
Trigger workflows automatically through applications, events, alarms, IT systems, BPMN, or manual user actions. - Publish Workflows into ServiceNow
Run infrastructure automations, directly from the ServiceNow Platform – reducing the time to complete new requests and rapidly deliver services to end users.
The Value of Itential’s Integrated Approach to Network Automation & Orchestration
The pace of technological advancements is outstripping the ability of IT integration teams and standards bodies to keep up. Traditional automation systems, hard-coded to specific technologies or reliant on vendors for updates, are confined to single domains. But today’s modern infrastructure spans multiple technologies and domains.
While point solutions may address individual challenges, today’s networks require tools that can scale across technologies and vendors, solving complex, multi-domain orchestration problems.
Time to automate
and deploy new use cases accelerated from months to <1 day with no custom integration development.
Vendor flexibility
including the ability to switch with ease and avoid locking in to limited or proprietary environments.
Mitigate custom development
with the ability to automate and orchestrate use cases that previously would have required different tools, custom development, or other special attention.
Eliminate technology debt
that organizations often accrue due to custom integration and data transformation efforts.
Maximize ROI
and gain immediate value by leveraging and integrating the existing tools and systems you already own, and flexibility in the future to integrate with new systems and tools.
