For the journey 4:

Federating
Sources
of Truth

Large enterprises will typically use a plethora of systems and tools to contain their intended network state, which are incredibly difficult to keep consistent and updated. With access to all of them via API with Itential’s Automation Platform and IP Fabric fetching the same data from the network itself – regardless of domain and vendor – you can validate that those Sources of Truth contain accurate representative data, and measure your actual network state against it with every change made.

Rich Martin from Itential and Daren Fulwell from IP Fabric join forces to present For The Journey 2: Federating Sources of Truth. Sign up now so you don't miss it!

Fulfillment in an Intent-Based Network

Everyone delivering IT service is on a journey - our businesses are so dependent on us as foundation for their process that availability isn't even about SLAs any more – 100% up time is the expectation. And with the dependencies between elements of IT infrastructure becoming ever more complex, we are constantly looking for ways of managing the complexity. In our recent white paper 'The Road to the Self-Driving Network' we dig into the idea that through automation and orchestration, supported by network assurance, we can reach a goal of a self-healing, autonomous network that configures itself to provide the business with the service it needs, then validates that it is doing as it should.
The foundation to that is Intent-Based Networking, which defines a structure for network operations to work smarter now, but drive towards that automated nirvana. It carves up network operations into 3 areas:
SAVE YOUR SEAT
Join us on September 15th to see how Itential and IP Fabric - two Gartner Cool Vendors in Network Automation - integrate to support a federated Source of Truth for intent-based networking.
Save your Seat
Intent is the way we describe the service we want the network to provide - how we translate business requirements to network config and policy
Fulfilment is the way we take that intent and render it into actual network device configuration – whether that is manual, through automation or using full service orchestration
Assurance is the way in which we validate the network is doing what it should. This area covers monitoring and performance measurement but also such things as network modelling, behaviour analysis and configuration compliance.
