As the number of network devices grows, the difficulty of managing every device’s configuration becomes increasingly more challenging. Recently, enterprise network infrastructure has experienced rapid expansion to include both on-prem and cloud-based elements, which means that network devices are dispersed across the Internet and can be physical, virtual, or even cloud-native. This has increased the complexity of the network and poses additional challenges to the networking teams who are responsible for managing the configuration of all of these devices, regardless of location.
Networking teams require a new, modern solution to successfully address the challenges of Day 0 to Day N network device configuration deployments of existing on-prem infrastructure, and this solution must scale and adapt to include future infrastructure that will be cloud-native and SaaS-based networking services.
In this whitepaper, learn:
- The phases of network configuration from Day 0 to Day N.
- The challenges with traditional approaches to configuration & compliance management.
- How Itential’s Configuration Manager modernizes network configuration & compliance management for network and cloud infrastructure.
