    Network Operations Center

    Network Operations Center – How do we work?

    Sometimes we hear: Try to automate everything. And we would rather say: try to automate smart. But what we want to communicate here? As Grandmetric provides Managed Services for customers network infrastructures in management operations we can count to tens thousands of devices and instances managed. Try to manage such bunch of devices on hop by hop basis. Try to not do the mistake, try to make it quick. Let’s backup configurion, change NTP, local user, update IOS, update 100 linux machines with LVM on hop by hop basis. Update NTP clock on 1500 switches in 3 minutes manually? No way of doing that this way. Moreover, it would be not possible for us to serve top networking services without doing stuff automatically. This is smart automation. Automation that comes from the reason. What is the reason of automating NTP process for single switch working in small network as an admin purely for this network? Might be not reasonable and can take longer that doing it once, manually. The reason behind automation in scale is obvious and this is smart.

    Automating in Grandmetric has two reasons. One: this is kind of philosophy behind our business is that it would not be possible to serve our customers doing top services and our internal infra without it. Second: We need to scale well. Not possible without automation.
