How Can Network Automation Improve IT Networks?

Today, IT networks are rapidly evolving in complexity and the requirement to transmit data at the modern technology-focused organization's speed and scale. To address these growing challenges, network solutions have evolved to monitor, protect and apply advanced diagnostics in an automated manner to meet the security and speed requirements of the modern IT environment.

These Network Automation Software solutions are designed to configure, map, and monitor a network in an optimized manner to ensure the highest possible network performance while also reducing the required manual human interaction of network configuration.

As IT environments become more complex, network automation solutions are beginning to adopt new emerging technologies to enhance the network automation processes. New emerging sectors like machine learning are having a profound impact on how network automation optimizes network mapping, configuration, and provisioning. Enabled by machine learning, network automation can now make more efficient real-time decisions built on the foundation of analyzing hundreds of thousands of network configurations.
