Network Automation
Eliminate manual tasks and harness zero-touch DNS automation to lower network costs, drive rapid innovation, and provide users with a seamless network experience.
Networks are getting bigger and more complex every day. So why are 95% of network changes still performed manually?
Way too many network managers have their hands on keyboards, performing repetitive, error-prone network configuration and provisioning tasks.
That’s why we decided to go all in on network automation, empowering your IT and end users while reducing systemic risk.
Our Adaptive PlugIns & Applications help you get the most out of your existing infrastructure investments. Integrate DDI with applications and services you use every day.
Automation & Orchestration
By automating everyday network tasks and functions, you’ll dramatically improve network availability and application performance.
And by transforming your mission-critical requirements into customized DDI workflows, plugins, and apps, you’ll take repetitive, time-consuming work off your IT team’s hands — so they can concentrate on the strategic (and profitable) stuff.

Accelerate IP address provisioning
Build, verify, and validate modules in a test environment, then easily promote them to a production environment to deploy applications and services at the speed of business.
Empower IT and end users
Enable your IT team to instantly meet unique end-user requirements with automated IP address provisioning, giving users easlily accessible self-service capabilities.
Reduce systemic risk
As well as eliminating the human errors that come with manual network changes, our automation platform also minimizes cloud-service delivery bottlenecks, so you can boost productivity even faster.
