Actually, the saying is \u201cpain is inevitable; suffering is optional,\u201d but when it comes to networking configuration, substituting \u201cchange\u201d is more applicable. Venturing into the network wilderness equipped only with manual processes can make it challenging to slog through a morass of unforeseen issues, one by one. While we applaud your pluck and fortitude, we\u2019d like to suggest some more innovative strategies.<\/p>\n

So how can you avoid the suffering that can result from inappropriate or erroneous network changes? We\u2019re devoting two upcoming webinars to the topic.<\/p>\n

The webinars will illustrate how to use network automation to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and prevent human error. You will learn how automated discovery and visualization, change and configuration management, and compliance and policy validation enable you to run a highly dynamic network infrastructure and ensure success.<\/p>\n

In Part 1, entitled \u201c5 Key Strategies to Ensure Network Safety & Success,\u201d you\u2019ll find out how to eliminate risks for network change, configuration, and compliance. We\u2019ll show you how to:<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0 Know where the hazards are<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0 Avoid inviting trouble<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0 Avoid over-provisioning<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0 Document your route<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0 Assemble the right team<\/p>\n

Register\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0for this live 30-minute webinar on Wednesday, May 13, at 10 am Pacific. All attendees will receive a copy of the Infoblox Network Automation Survival Guide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
