Itential Accelerates Network Transformation for Banks & FinTech Firms Around the World
From Automation to Orchestration for a FinTech Network
Itential will make us more money by increasing our velocity to deliver infrastructure, it will save us money, because to deliver more, I won’t need any significant increase in headcount and it keeps me off the front page of the newspaper, by allowing me to ensure the infrastructure is consistently secured everywhere- no matter whether it’s a CPE that’s at a retail store, or it’s an Internet facing router that’s terminating VPNs or it’s a workload in public cloud – Itential gives me that ability to deliver consistency and pull all three levers at the same time.
