From Design to Source of Truth

Federating Sources of Truth

Large enterprises will typically use a plethora of systems and tools to contain their intended network state, which are incredibly difficult to keep consistent and updated. With access to all of them via API with Itential’s Automation Platform and IP Fabric fetching the same data from the network itself – regardless of domain and vendor – you can validate that those Sources of Truth contain accurate representative data, and measure your actual network state against it with every change made. Rich Martin from Itential and Daren Fulwell from IP Fabric join forces to present For The Journey 4: Federating Sources of Truth.

From Design to Source of Truth

You will often hear the comment that the Source of Truth is key for any automation effort, but why? What does it represent? Is it just one system? How do we keep it up to date and how in sync with the live network should it be? How do you build it, and how do you maintain it? Join our panel of practitioners and experts as we cover what we mean by intent for the network, what the Source of Truth looks like and what it is trying to achieve. Learn from others' hard-won practical experience. Tim Shreyack, Tim Fiola, Dave Donohue and Daren Fulwell are experts in each area to discuss the requirements, approaches, and pitfalls from practical experience..
