Network Supply Chain Challenges: Why the Impact is More than Delays & How to Mitigate Through Rapid Integration

Networking teams are struggling to adapt to a post-pandemic landscape, where supply chain issues and product shortages are delaying projects and jeopardizing strategic network initiatives.

This problem is compounded within environments that rely on one or two vendors for their networking equipment. For many, the traditionally high costs of introducing a new vendor into their network have prevented them doing so. These costs come from the need to integrate the new products into the existing network as well as the costs to train engineers and operate a multi-vendor environment. However, teams are forced to weigh the cost of waiting for backordered products with the costs to bring in a new vendor.

By leveraging Itential’s rapid integration capabilities and its multi-vendor network automation and orchestration features, networking teams can mitigate the challenges of introducing a new vendor. This allows them to expand their network while minimizing the need to spend months on integration and training.

In this webinar, Morgan Stern, VP of Automation Strategy, and Karan Munalingal, Head of Solutions Engineering, with Itential explore:

• The challenges that networking teams currently face with today’s networking supply chain shortages.
• Insights on how to mitigate these challenges from working with several customers who faced this problem.
• The capabilities of the Itential Automation Platform that simplify the process for supporting new vendors in an existing network.
