Reliable, robust and high performance networks are critical to business success. The only way to get to that is with active management of a complex network infrastructure. Unfortunately, that infrastructure is subject to an increasing volume and pace of changes, updates and adjustments to device attributes and relationships, which are documented destroyers of efficient, effective, robust and trouble-free operations. The result is a management nightmare.

This challenge has led to a proliferation of automated and semi-automated solutions. However, most of these still are dependant upon the efforts of scarce, skilled staff, who are highly knowledgeable in the specific idiosyncrasies and characteristics of the individual devices. They also require substantial, manual effort to collect and track data about network device attributes. Finally, they require error-prone, manual creation of scripts based on intimate knowledge of each device to implement changes, updates, etc.
