Enterprise Network Automation for 2020 and Beyond

ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

Network automation used to be about writing one-off single-use scripts to eliminate simple, repetitive network management tasks. Today, enterprises are pushing the envelope by using advanced analytics, off-the-shelf and internally-developed software, vendor APIs, and more to automate complex network management processes.

Enterprise Management Associates’ (EMA) new research report, “Enterprise Network Automation for 2020 and Beyond,” offers IT professionals a guide toward understanding the opportunities they have with network automation. EMA surveyed 250 IT professionals and conducted a half-dozen phone interviews to identify best practices and successful strategies for network automation solutions.

The research explored what enterprises can realistically expect from state-of-the-art network automation technology today. EMA identified several best practices for tool selection and implementation, network automation team formation, and more.
