Centrally manage and run your infrastructure automations at scale.
Your Challenges
To keep up with managing today’s distributed infrastructure, network engineers are building automations with open source tools like Ansible, Python, and Terraform, each with their own unique execution environment – lacking the ability to both securely administer and share these automations across teams and expose them for more methods of consumption.
Lack of central automation management leads to challenges such as:
- Scattered pockets and silos of automations across the organization, leading to inefficiency, security risks, and limiting re-use by other teams.
- Difficulty in executing automation workloads across various on-prem and cloud tooling and technologies.
- Inability to manage, secure, share, and administer automations across teams.
- Custom building bespoke applications to manage automations, resulting in less time building more automations.
- Lack of comprehensive audit logs to know when an automation runs, who ran it, and its results for policy compliance.
Itential provides network automation and DevOps engineers with a unified automation platform, complete with all the enterprise-grade features you need to take your network automation efforts to the next level, drive adoption, and maximize your investments.
