Use Case Scenarios
Following are sample technical use cases that you can support with I.
AI Data Center-as-a-Service
Financial companies and other enterprises are making massive investments into GPU data centers for AI innovation. Maximize utilization by creating consumable GPU pods that can be deployed automatically.
Benefits: Reduce downtime, speed time to deploy, and maximize capital return on investment.
Retail Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Retailers need a way to roll out, upgrade, and evolve store infrastructure to meet market needs. I turns varying store sizes, regions, and equipment permutations into a catalog of versionable, iterable infrastructure services.
Benefits: Faster time to market, reduce truck rolls and human error, and improve IT staff efficiency.
PoP as-a-Service
Mobile application, SaaS, and other digital providers must deploy and maintain an expansive set of edge PoPs to deliver optimal user experiences. I allows providers to automate PoP infrastructure and manage lifecycles from design through deployment and beyond.
Benefits: Speedier time to market, improved user experience, operational efficiency, reduced human error and higher uptime.
Unified Asset Management
IT and OT asset management is often spread across many physical and logical inventory DBs. I provides a single, customizable data model and schema where you can synchronize, integrate, and manage infrastructure asset data, without requiring I to be canonical.
Benefits: Improved enterprise visibility, operational efficiency, and business agility.
Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Platform Engineering
Hybrid and multi-cloud is a reality for most enterprises. I represents cloud inventory data in a provider-agnostic way, allowing for deployment automation via tools such as Terraform, Pulumi and Crossplane.
Benefits: Reduced IT complexity, speed to deploy infrastructure.
Brownfield Service Provider Network-as-a-Service (NaaS)
Very few service providers have the luxury of greenfield infrastructure and unlimited automation engineering. I makes it possible to turn brownfield networks into network-as-s-service (NaaS).
Benefits: Improved user experience and accelerated revenue. Reduced configuration errors, downtime, and SLA violations. Higher operational efficiency.
Network Automation
I is the first fully integrated data management and CI platform for network teams. Gain a global view of network intent, track multiple planned changes, render configurations in OpenConfig, YANG or vendor-specific formats, and integrate with automation tools such as Nornir or Ansible to push changes to the network.
Benefits: Improved staff efficiency and accuracy, network uptime, and long-term automation sustainability.
Infrastructure Security Policy Management
Security teams can model network security policy to maintain and auto-generate firewall rulesets, eliminating never-ending ruleset creep and compliance challenges.
Benefits: Improved assurance of accurate security configurations and compliance.
