Know your network - the power of data

Written by Ali McKeand | Dec 12, 2024 4:00:50 PM

Businesses are increasingly reliant on robust and efficient networks to power their operations. As businesses grow, so does the complexity of their network as it extends across multiple devices, locations and architectures.

To monitor and maintain the foundation that underpins your business, gaining full visibility into the health, security and optimisation opportunities of your network, has become critical.

Leveraging meaningful data to achieve this visibility allows organisations to understand, monitor and optimise their networks more effectively, while mitigating risks and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted service delivery.

With comprehensive data collection and observability through a single lens dashboard, businesses can develop genuine Network Intelligence. A complete overview of the whole estate's contract coverage, software/hardware lifecycle, vulnerability status and much more. This enables IT teams to proactively identify and resolve issues before they happen, ensuring the network remains reliable and secure.

Optimise performance

Our simplified and automated data-driven Network Intelligence platform helps to identify areas of the network which require attention, significantly reducing the risk of critical issues occurring.

By leveraging the power of Cisco APIs, we’re able to provide at a glance insight on network health, including aging hardware with end of life status information, vulnerability alerts and critical field notices.

This gives precious time back to your teams, spending less time collating information from lots of disparate sources, and more time taking action.

Data-driven observability

As cyberattacks become more sophisticated and frequent, businesses need to be able to better detect potential security risks and have all the needed information to appropriately respond.

By analysing your devices running configuration, Network Intelligence can highlight potential and confirmed security vulnerabilities in the network, allowing you to prioritise critical threats for quicker remediation.

With this level of visibility, IT teams can take immediate action to software patch and reduce the attack surface, therefore minimising the potential of a cyberattack or breach.

Leveraging focused data to gain full visibility into a network’s health is a priority for businesses and Network Intelligence helps organisations tackle challenges such as budgeting to replace aging architecture, ensuring critical parts of the network are under active support contracts and prioritising cybersecurity risks, ensuring a more secure, efficient, and reliable network infrastructure for the business.

But don't take our word for it, hear what our customers have to say:

“We run a vast estate split across multiple remote offices, so Network Intelligence is the eyes and ears across our Cisco infrastructure to help shine a light on defects and security concerns which need our attention.

It is a valuable, proactive service to help drive my team’s priorities and avoid the build-up of technical debt which left unattended, can grow exponentially over time.

I have relied on Network Intelligence over the years to ensure our infrastructure is running as optimally and securely as possible.”

Nick Wilkinson - Infrastructure Manager, TMK – Network Intelligence customer since 2015.

 

What is Network Intelligence?

A single lens dashboard that gives you complete visibility of the infrastructure health and lifecycle of your Cisco and Meraki assets. In partnership with Cisco and powered by our in-house CAE Labs innovation team, this simple and easy to use platform gives concise visibility of software, hardware and licensing along with benchmarking for performance and health.

Network Intelligence provides regular maintenance reporting and support cover, to software vulnerabilities and security alerts all in one, simple to use dashboard. Highlighting potential risks enhances risk management and aids in initiative and budget planning.
