Itential @ Networking Field Day

• The evolution of network automation and orchestration.
• How network infrastructure has evolved to support modern, cloud-first network services.
• The convergence of NetOps and DevOps as the industry moves toward hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure.
• Itential’s platform architecture with capabilities to integrate, build, test, and deploy automations to be used as a self-service platform for your IT organization.

Watch Now

• A library of 300+ open source pre-built integrations, adapters, and data transformations published by Itential for common network and IT systems.
• Ability to build your own codeless integration with Itential’s Adapter Builder.
• Onboarding of CLI-managed network devices for use in API-based systems with Itential’s Automation Gateway.
• Onboarding and transformation of script-based automation assets via JSON schema association to be callable with APIs.
• Southbound integration with physical, virtual, and cloud network infrastructure to use in building automations.
• Federation of device, data, and services across all systems including ITSM, order management, and DevOps pipelines.

Watch Now

• Low-code visual canvas for building orchestration workflows that can leverage integrated systems as drag-and-drop tasks within a workflow.
• JSON Schema-based data transformations to manipulate and translate data between API tasks in an automation workflow.
• Reusable templates that use Jinja2 to construct network configurations and API payloads.
• Command templates for reusable sets of tasks.
• JSON-based forms to provide a layer of input validation when exposing automations to an end user.

Watch Now

• End-to-end input validation through the use of JSON schemas for API input and output.
• Command templates to generate robust pre-check and post-check processes that can be reused to build a library of testing and validation assets.
• Support for both traditional CLI-managed interfaces and modern APIs to ensure compliance is maintained across the entire network and validated before a change is made.
• Testing and outputs provided while building each asset to catch issues early.

Watch Now

• External systems such as DevOps pipelines or IT systems via northbound API exposure.
• Event-driven, to provide automation execution in response to a specific event trigger.
• Manually scheduled to be run at specific intervals.

To ensure security while exposing automations to end users, Itential provides support and integration for RBAC, SSO, and existing LDAP services.

Additionally, leveraging Itential’s ServiceNow Application, available in the ServiceNow Store, NetDevOps teams can present network and infrastructure automations into the ServiceNow Platform, allowing users to run these automations to deliver and complete IT service requests.
