In a world where network automation is dominating more and more of our technology, how can you make it work for your business?
Automation systems are becoming increasingly common across the board in the world of networks. With the ability to streamline processes, increase productivity, and reduce the space for human error, it’s no surprise that businesses are investing in this technology now more than ever. The capabilities of network automation also extend to providing closed-loop remediation of network issues, at-times, before they even occur. Enterprise customers are continuing to rely more heavily on their networks to operate, therefore issues like outages of service can have catastrophic effects on customer experience, and by extension, business success. Investing in network automation may seem like a big expense, but when your network forms the core of your business, ensuring its continuous agility and reliability is money well spent.
There are more reasons now than ever to automate your network processes, not least of all because of the April 2024 amendments to the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022 (PSTI). Cyber-security regulations which were once voluntary have now become mandatory, implementing requirements such as meeting minimum password expectations, as well as measuring your ability to provide information on reporting security issues to a specified point of contact. Breaches of these regulations can result in fines of up to £10M, or 4% of worldwide revenue – a financial loss not to be taken lightly. With that in mind, is there a better time to upgrade to an automated network?
Juniper Apstra – Your regulation compliance solution
Juniper Apstra is a multivendor automation solution, designed to build, deploy and operate data centre networks from a single pane of glass. Not only does Apstra simplify and automate your data centre operations, but it is also able to translate business intent and technical objectives into essential policy. The system is then able to continuously self-validate, and resolve issues autonomously, ensuring continued compliance with regulations. The closed-loop automation and assurance provided by Juniper Apstra powers your business with intent, providing you with actionable insights to meet your goals, with the peace of mind that you’re autonomously compliant.
Aiding you on your journey towards fulfilling the latest PSTI regulations is just one benefit of investing in the Juniper Apstra solution. One key operational feature of Apstra is its unique ability to rapidly recover from issues caused by human error. The Intent Time Voyager feature of this software makes for rapid resolution, by allowing the operator to move the entire state of the network forwards or backwards in time. With a few simple clicks you can restore your network to a specific point, rapidly reversing errors.
Additionally, Apstra has a unique ability to create a single source of truth (SSOT) in the intent datastore of the system, where all network moves, additions and changes are tracked and recorded. Usually, the internal network is designed by an architect, and then the ongoing management of the network is done by an operator.
The necessity to share information across two parties can lead to errors in communication and mistakes, which can cost your business both time and money to repair. The automated nature of Juniper Astra, coupled with its core SSOT absolves the risk of human error entirely, making your network faster and more efficient, whilst ensuring business continuity.
Digital transformation is underway everywhere, and network automation is the next step in advancing your business success. Juniper Apstra’s unique ability to identify configuration drift in real time can keep your business compliant, secure and protected, freeing you up to increase your efficiency elsewhere. Simplify your network operations, and invest in superior end-user experiences with Juniper Apstra.
