The five most common network automation objectives
For a modern organization to meet its business goals it's essential to have a reliable, high-performing network. But as networks get more complex and heterogeneous (frequently consisting of both on-premise and cloud environments), they are becoming more difficult to manage and operate, requiring skills and resources which are inherently limited in availability.
Regular and necessary workflows performed by network engineers can quickly become overwhelming and even prohibitive due to the time it would take to execute at scale. And when these workflows continue to be manually executed, extended problem resolution timelines result since the volume of service tickets continues to climb. And these problems that need to be addressed can range from the mundane to the mission critical -- in some extreme cases shutting down key business services entirely during resolution.
