Data centers have become ever more complex and critical to most businesses. Automation is crucial to securely and reliably manage them at speed and scale.

Many organizations employ a DIY approach to automate their DC networking infrastructure using substantial in-house development resources and a variety of available open-source tools and technologies. These organizations went down the DIY path with expectations of cost and time-savings, but this approach often proves to be more expensive and operationally complex than using off-the-shelf DC automation solutions.

To develop an understanding of in-house DIY DC automation activities, Juniper Networks teamed up with Analysys Mason to conduct an industry survey of CSPs, Enterprises, and Cloud Providers. This webinar will discuss the findings from the study and interviews, answer your questions during a live Q&A, and serve as a guide for organizations looking to build and uncover the reality of taking a DIY approach.

In this webinar, you will gain an understanding of:

• The state of data center network automation and the impact of key market trends such as cloud and 5G on data center automation strategies
• Survey data of organizations across all three segments unveiling the reality of taking a DIY approach to network automation
• Key motivations and challenges of in-house developed DC network automation and the implications and ‘hidden’ costs associated with it
• Need for an intent-driven, automation-first approach to Day 0, 1, 2+ data center operations and business case for investing in a horizontal, multivendor platform
