AvidThink: Reshaping Network Infrastructure With AI Automation

AI is set to impact every industry, and networking is no different. Over the past 10 years of network automation, we’ve seen the industry evolve from hardware to software, from devices to controllers to platforms, and networking has become more programmable. AI-enabled systems are the next logical evolution.

Domain-specific smart agents will replace the basic interfaces we use today, allowing teams to ask more complex questions of domain interfaces and receive more robust answers. Itential is focused on enabling teams to get the most out of new AI-enabled systems. AI is powerful, but we need to focus on automation and orchestration best practices like standardization and programmability to get the most out of it and accelerate toward a new operating model for networking.

In this video, you’ll hear about:

  • How AI-enabled systems fit into the recent trajectory of network automation and orchestration.
  • The potential benefits of smarter systems in networking, including scripts generated at runtime, dynamic error handling, generated testing and validation, and more.
  • The important role Itential’s orchestration capabilities will play in enabling our customers to get the most out of AI-enabled systems.
