Its no secret we’ve all been there…. Its 2023 & manually upgrading switches, firewalls & AP’s just doesn’t cut it anymore. But in some cases not all, many organizations do not have or cannot allot for a dedicated DevOps professional or team to solely focus on automating tasks, improving security posture & streamline existing processes so we can focus on less mundane tasks.
Now automating any task is always a win in my book if the time permits to create an Ansible runbook or Python script. But in instances such as this one a white knight if you will has emerged to save us haha! That knight is an astounding company known as BackBox! Originally presenting at Networking Field Day 31, I watched their presentation & was blown away at the capabilities & features the solution offered. So, it was a no brainer when Cisco Live 2023 came about I had the opportunity to join my fellow delegates once again in this incredible presentation! Let’s take a look into the solution you didn’t know you needed!
Scalable For Any Need!
An astonishing 92% of organizations face endless updates within their infrastructure, & only 61% of us engineers can perform updates quarterly. There’re not enough maintenance windows! The last few years have taught us that Network Automation is not only here to stay but can greatly impact our production substantially.
Enter BackBox, the ultimate solution leveraged by hundreds of thousands of networks to automate many tasks at a time. With over 2,000 pre-configured automations, implementing them in our environments is a simple process with big results.
Offering a wide range of solutions, from disaster recovery, device management & redundancy across multiple platforms. To everything & anything ranging from OS & firewall upgrades has become an incredibly easier process now, id be lying if I didn’t state that the Fortinet integration is an even bigger win!. Don’t believe me? Check out both of their incredible presentations at Networking Field Day & Cisco Live to find out more!
Whether it’s backup & restore or closed loop vulnerability along with the multiple different features. BackBox has changed the way we not only automate. But also, how we can scale within our organizations. This solution dare I say acts as an entirely dedicated DevOps team with the goal of simplifying basic networking tasks that may fall to the wayside when bogged with work. You should have confidence that your automation solution will deliver 200% of the time, every time, on time. And that’s one guarantee BackBox can certainly deliver on. Until next time, stay safe & automate your workflows when possible, see ya!
