Revolutionize NetOps Workflows with Network Observability + Orchestration for the Enterprise
With the increasing complexity and significance of networks, businesses worldwide are seeking greater intelligence and actionable insights to enhance their network infrastructure, connected resources, and digital experiences. Concurrently, the amount of network data accessible to enterprises is rapidly expanding, as connections, traffic volumes, active threats, and intricate exchanges continue to rise.
Much of this data requires a response from the network team, who are already constrained with the backlog of daily, manual network changes, making it difficult to find time to act on anything new.
Optimize the Performance & Security of Hybrid, Multi-Cloud Networks with Itential & Kentik
With Kentik’s advanced network observability platform combined with Itential’s network-centric automation and orchestration platform, NetOps teams can enable closed-loop orchestration, to act on any event, from security risks to network optimization, and remediate the situation resulting in more accurate and efficient operations, engineering, and support for enterprise networks and IT.

How Itential & Kentik Work Together
Capitalizing on these capabilities, the integration of Itential and Kentik enables network teams to build orchestration workflows that can immediately respond to events and alarms generated by the Kentik observability platform. These workflows can automatically make changes to the network in real-time for high-priority incidents and notify teams of these changes in your messaging and change request systems.
Technology Integration
Kentik gives network teams full visibility of network status by collecting data from actual and test traffic from all parts of the network and providing insights on that data.
Itential enables the entire network team to participate in automating their network domains, integrating with the tools and solutions they already have, and orchestrating end-to-end processes.
By integrating these two platforms at the API level, network teams can build workflows that utilize Kentik’s observability, insights, and alerting features and orchestrate changes to any network infrastructure along with orchestrating IT systems like IPAM, ITSM, and sources of truth.
