Why Automate Software Upgrades?
Due to the manual effort required, network device software upgrades tend to stay in the backlog or only happen once a year. With automation, organizations can automatically determine which devices are the most vulnerable and optimize upgrades to increase efficiency by 10X+ so networking teams can focus on bigger projects and security teams can sleep better at night.
Network automation helps to:
- Effectively and efficiently run new technology and software.
- Support new services and architect the network to the desired state.
- Reduce risk for an outage or an intrusion to the entire company by a missed or failed vulnerability patch.
- Decrease cycle time and increase the number of devices upgraded in a single maintenance window
- Save over $200K+ cost reductions per upgrade cycle.
