NETWORKING SOLUTION

 

Network Automation

Network automation involves the use of software tools and scripts to manage and control network devices. Here’s a breakdown:

​

• Configuration Automation: We automate the configuration of routers, switches, firewalls, and other network devices. This ensures consistency and reduces human error.

• Provisioning and Deployment: Automated provisioning streamlines the process of adding new devices to the network. It includes tasks like IP address assignment, VLAN configuration, and software installation.

• Monitoring and Remediation: Network automation tools continuously monitor device health and performance. When issues arise, automated remediation steps are triggered, minimizing downtime.

• Security Policy Enforcement: Automation ensures that security policies (such as access control lists) are consistently applied across the network.

 

Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

RPA involves creating software robots (or “bots”) that mimic human interactions with applications and systems. In the context of networking:

​

• Routine Tasks: Bots handle repetitive tasks like user account creation, password resets, and log file analysis.

• Data Extraction: Bots extract relevant data from network logs, performance metrics, and configuration files.

• Alert Handling: When network alerts are generated, RPA bots can investigate and take predefined actions.

 

Scripted Configurations

• We use custom scripts (Python, Ansible, etc.) to automate device configurations. For example:

  • Automated VLAN Configuration: Scripts create VLANs, assign ports, and configure trunk links.

  • Backup and Restore: Scheduled scripts back up device configurations and restore them when needed.

 

 

 

 

AUTOMATION SOLUTION

​

Workflow Streamlining

• Process Automation:

  • Define workflows using tools like ServiceNow or Jira.

  • Automate approval processes, ticket routing, and change management.

• Orchestration:

  • Coordinate multiple tasks across different systems.

  • Example: When a new employee joins, orchestration automates account creation, email setup, and access permissions.

 

Business Process Automation (BPA)

• Finance:

  • Automate invoice processing, expense approvals, and payroll calculations.

• HR:

  • Streamline onboarding, leave requests, and performance reviews.

• IT:

  • Automate server provisioning, software deployment, and license management.

 

Data Integration and Transformation

• Extract, Transform, Load (ETL):

  • Automate data extraction from various sources (databases, APIs, logs).

  • Transform data into a consistent format.

  • Load it into a data warehouse or analytics platform.

• Real-Time Data Synchronization:

  • Keep data synchronized across systems (e.g., customer data between CRM and billing systems).

 

Monitoring and Alerts Automation

• Health Monitoring:

  • Automated tools monitor network devices, servers, and applications.

  • Alerts are triggered for performance degradation, security breaches, or hardware failures.

• Automated Incident Response:

  • When an alert is raised, predefined actions are taken:

    • Notify the IT team.

    • Execute diagnostic scripts.

    • Isolate affected devices.
