Intelliden Unveils Network Automation Solution to Address Growing Needs of Enterprises with Mission Critical Networks
Intelliden NetNovo Enables Greater Control, Management and Scalability for Network-Driven Companies
MENLO Park, CA – September 22, 2009 - Intelliden Inc., today announced the availability of Intelliden NetNovo™, a network automation solution designed for the needs of today’s most demanding enterprises to control, manage and scale their networks. Intelliden NetNovo is a comprehensive solution for managing the operational lifecycle of multi-vendor networks including real-time discovery, security control, configuration and change management, compliance and audit, resource reconciliation and software upgrades.
Intelliden NetNovo builds upon the success of Intelliden’s proven automation solutions for service provider networks with the same powerful applications and SmartModel™ capabilities, but right-sized for enterprise networks with 500 to 10,000 devices. Intelliden NetNovo provides a number of unique features designed especially for today’s network-driven enterprises such as financial services, retail, logistics, defense and energy companies. These include:
- Multiple management modes to support a range of network skills and roles from a certified expert engineer to a novice operator;
- Support for regulatory mandates and security policies as well as the mundane, but operationally critical engineering standards;
- Network compliance tracking through a single weighted “compliance score” at a point in time and over a period of time;
- Granular device control by user, device and configuration command;
- Complete and accurate configuration history and audit log regardless of whether the change was made through Intelliden or otherwise;
- Open APIs for rapid integration with third party applications such as CMDB, fault management, trouble ticketing and IT automation; and
- The ability to scale from a few hundred to thousands of devices.
With ever increasing network complexity, stringent compliance mandates, shortening maintenance windows and budget pressures, today’s network organizations are under greater pressure to deliver the highest levels of network uptime, security and performance. Intelliden NetNovo reduces costs by automating time-consuming configuration changes and compliance checks, improves network performance by ensuring that all network changes are made in strict adherence to pre-defined network policies, and enhances control by providing a comprehensive solution for network access and audit log.
In order to support the increasingly frequent and onerous corporate audits and compliance initiatives, Intelliden NetNovo introduces the concept of “Compliance Score” to track the compliance readiness of a network. Network managers can assign weighting to individual policies and track their network’s compliance score based on the number of devices that successfully pass validation. Compliance scores and trend history are available through dashboards as well as multiple report formats.
“Leveraging our company’s deep networking DNA and a technology platform that has been proven at the most demanding customers around the world, we have delivered a best-of-breed network automation solution that doesn’t require enterprises to compromise greater control and flexibility over ease of use and simplicity,” said Alan Black, President and CEO of Intelliden.
Intelliden’s network automation solution acts as a network management data repository or “network CMDB” (network configuration management database) to a federated enterprise CMDB, and provides open APIs for querying and publishing information. Acting as the Trusted Source of Network Truth™, Intelliden ensures that the enterprise CMDB has access to accurate, up-to-date and comprehensive view of network resources, policies and change history.
“Enterprises need to dynamically assimilate network configuration information and processes into their corporate CMDB solutions,” said Dennis Drogseth, Vice President at Enterprise Management Associates. “Centralizing all the IT information and processes into a single database is never a workable solution. Intelliden offers a powerful alternative as a federated resource through its richly modeled network automation solution, which helps to achieve the same goal without the need to centralize all the network configuration information, processes and change history into a single tool.”
Pricing and Availability
Intelliden NetNovo is available now starting at list price of $147,500 for 500 devices. Add-on support for Intelliden SmartModels™ is available on an annual subscription basis, which enables network managers to achieve highest levels of change accuracy without the need to learn device specific configuration protocols.
