Network Automation Is More Than Just Tooling
The modern enterprise network automation strategy is failing. This is due in part to a collection of tools masquerading as an automation solution. In this episode, Tom Hollingsworth is joined by Scott Robohn, Bruno Wollmann, and special guest Mike Bushong of Nokia to discuss the current state of automation in the data center. They discuss how tools are often improperly incorporated as well as why organizations shouldn’t rely on just a single person or team to affect change. They also explore ideas around Nokia Event-Driven Automation (EDA), a new operations platform dedicated to solving these issues.
Networking Field Day and Nokia’s EDA
At the recent Networking Field Day event, Nokia unveiled its Enhanced Data Analytics (EDA) platform, a cutting-edge solution designed to streamline network operations and enhance data analysis capabilities. By integrating advanced AI and machine learning technologies, Nokia’s EDA platform aims to provide deeper insights into network performance, improve fault detection, and optimize network configurations for efficiency. This innovation underscores Nokia’s commitment to leading the evolution of network technology and empowering businesses with the tools necessary for future-ready network management.
