IP Fabric Proof of Concept: Manage Your Network, Not Your Network Devices
Traditionally, network management processes have seen the network as a series of individual devices connected together to provide services to users and deliver applications. Manual processes are centered around managing, maintaining and monitoring those devices and their interfaces and ensuring that they are behaving as we would hope. The level of understanding that is needed to translate this device-centric view into meaningful network insight is significant. Network Assurance takes a different approach – discovering the network, its config, state and topology, then creating a data model that can be measured and validated. Understand the complexities and interactions that make your network tick. And verify that it is behaving the way you intend it to, end-to-end.
