Why Itential for Network Automation
Itential simplifies and automates the journey toward the modern network and bridges the gap between IT and networking teams by enabling users to easily build, execute and visualize end-to-end network automation workflows for operations, configuration and service orchestration management. Itential’s low-code environment provides a vendor agnostic, turnkey solution, connecting network orchestrators and controllers with IT Service Management applications and configuration tools to accomplish closed-loop network automation. Itential’s products are in use today within some of the world’s largest networks, including many of the top service provider and financial services companies throughout the U.S. and abroad.
Bring Your Own Automations
Leverage the work and existing investments that you’ve already put into your network configuration tools and network change scripts to accelerate your network automation projects by easily consuming and utilizing them in the Itential Automation Platform.
- Python Scripts
- Ansible Playbooks, Modules & Roles
- Spreadsheets
- Custom-Built Automations
Scale Automation As You Grow
Deploy network automation in your organization at your own pace by easily customizing workflows and tailoring the platform to meet the requirements of your current business processes and use cases. Start with automating network maintenance and operations tasks such as router/switch upgrades and device management, to then managing device configuration and compliance, and as your automation priorities scale to service and policy, we scale as you grow.
- Basic Maintenance & Operations
- Network Configuration & Change Management
- Orchestration & Service Management
Orchestrate Full Network Operations Procedures
Itential automates even the most complex network operations procedures by allowing for device command responses to be evaluated against a set of rules utilizing run-time templates available in the platform. These Pre and Post steps avoid typical “what if” objections and enable closed-loop automation and true hands-free operations.
- Automates the complete change from ticket open to ticket close
- Built-in fall out queues for non-predictive behavior with automatic rollback
- Exhaustive pre- and post-check capabilities to ensure smooth operational change
Itential’s products have been a huge accelerator for our network automation efforts. Their approach to automating our network operations and maintenance procedures have helped us move rapidly toward agile, DevOps style practices and have exponentially increased our capacity for making network changes.
Involve Everyone In Network Automation
It’s time to expand network management and automation to other roles in the organization, from DevOps to IT to software developers. Itential simplifies the complexity associated with managing multiple systems and network technologies and enables non-network experts to drive end to end automation.
- Low-code environment enables network engineers to easily drag and drop forms and pre-built templates to create network automation workflows.
- Built-in network intelligence accelerates automation efforts while capturing tribal knowledge for re-use across organizations.
- Bridge the skills gap and enable all groups to operate efficiently in their day to day activities.
Automate Complex End-to-End Network Changes
Itential automates changes that span complex networks and cross multiple automation domains. Itential integrates with your existing IT systems and federates their data and logic, creating a unified view for enabling end-to-end network automation. By federating and presenting any data model (YANG, TOSCA, YAML) in a simplified visual format that abstracts the complexity from the user in an easy to use, drag and drop environment that can be utilized in network automation workflows.
- Create complex network engineering and operations workflows
- Connect disparate systems such as ITSM, inventory, analytics & orchestration tools
- Low-code development interface enables network engineers & software developers to collaborate on network automation
