With networks becoming larger, more complicated, and increasingly critical, it's crucial to improve speed, efficiency, accuracy, and compliance spanning from data center to cloud to edge. Network automation addresses these needs by reducing repetitive tasks, freeing up resources for innovation. Event-driven automation further enables flexible, automatic responses to changing conditions, allowing for smarter work and increased innovation time.
Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform facilitates automation across diverse networking solutions, encompassing Cisco and other multi-vendor technologies in both traditional and edge deployments.
In this webinar, we’ll cover what’s possible when you automate the management of:
- Cisco networking devices for traditional network solutions, such as datacenters, local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and more.
- Cisco Meraki devices for edge networking deployments.
- Integration with ServiceNow to allow closed loop management of tickets and add network facts into the ServiceNow configuration management database.
- Enabling AIOps by employing Event-Driven Ansible for automated responses and remediation scenarios.
- Using GitOps for networks to provide a single source action that can be taken, so you can enforce network standards and configurations.
We’ll identify key things to know in each of these areas and take you through a demonstration. Following the webinar, we’ll answer your questions and also point you toward additional resources for further learning opportunities.
