EMA White Paper | Operational Efficiency at Scale with Intent-Based, No-Code Network Automation Executive Summary This paper explains why network teams can no longer rely on tactical, developer-dependent, script- heavy approaches to network operations. Instead, they should adopt simpler and more scalable no-code network automation that aligns with business outcomes. This paper also looks at the benefits such a solution can offer and reviews the capabilities of etrain, a pioneer in no-code, intent-driven network automation. NetOps is at its Breaking Point odern, digitally connected businesses demand more from their networks than ever, but network operations teams are struggling to deliver those services. These companies need networks that are more responsive to application needs. ompanies reuire a truly secure network with robust access controls. They expect an always-on network where human error is eliminated and unplanned down- time is a thing of the past. They want more visibility and control over cloud-hosted services. t the same time, most IT organi ations are trying to reduce operational overhead, meaning network teams need to deliver on all these reuirements with fewer resources. iven this list of reuirements, no one should be surprised that network operations teams are strug- gling to find a way forward. €rom ‚ƒ„… to ‚ƒ‚‚, the number of et†ps pros who believed their teams were successfully supporting their businesses declined from ‡ˆ‰ to ‚ˆ‰.
