Business Challenge
Most organizations lack control of network configuration baselines and changes, which directly leads to unnecessary service problems. Lack of change visibility and auditing, combined with manual remediation, prolongs the time to recover from problematic changes. In spite of internal IT best practices, implementing change is a manual, time-consuming, error-prone, and costly process. As a result, little or no time is left to audit and enforce configuration standards, react to vendor security advisories, or implement new projects.
Business Need
- Eliminate the number one cause of network outages – erroneous configuration changes
- Reduce operational costs by up to 80 percent through automation and one-click rollback procedures
- Ensure continuous compliance with internal best practices and regulatory standards
Our Solution
BMC Configuration Automation for Networks is a network change and configuration management (NCCM) tool that eliminates repetitive, time-consuming, manual configuration processes. It simplifies release and change management, audits networkwide changes, and automates back-out procedures. It supports all core network devices – routers, switches, firewalls, wireless, access point, load balancers, etc. – regardless of the device vendor. BMC Configuration Automation for Networks provides quick to value and improves overall IT efficiency and service delivery.
Key Features & Benefits
- Instantly provides the who, what, where, and when of planned, unplanned, and unauthorized network changes
- Enables quick and non-disruptive configuration changes, including rollback
- Proactively correlates network outages with recent changes to identify possible impact and reduce mean time to repair
- Audits and enforces configuration standards, such as those around security, performance, and routing
- Simplifies the implementation of mass change requests in a multi-vendor network environment
- Automates network change management processes through integration with BMC Remedy Change Management
