Networks are never static. A common theory suggests an approach that consists of “plan, build, run” but the reality in operations is that the focus is more on configure, monitor and troubleshoot.

Rebranding offers a great opportunity to strengthen the company’s presence and image in the eyes of the customers. The areas which are rebuilt can vary, and the same is true for the reasons to change the branding in the first place. For StableNet®, one reason was a change in our strategy.

Without any doubt, multi-faceted automation tasks cannot be uniformally covered with a “one size fits it all” solution. In other words, each firm must establish focused priorities and functional compromises in order to develop the foundation for a successful network automation solution.

We face three primary types of competition, for various possible customers in the NMS arena. The customer types range from enterprises that need to secure the health of their network for production purposes to Telcos that require service assurance for the network services that they provide to their clients, and anything in-between.

With the release of StableNet 8.3 this summer, Infosim^® has continued to improve and expand its award-winning unified network management platform. As with all new releases, these versions include some bug fixes and general improvements. In this blog post I am going to take you through the main new features of StableNet^® in the 8.3.x LTS (Long Term Support) releases.

When StableNet^® version 8.0 was released in the beginning of 2017, one of the biggest changes to the tool was the new tag feature. Tagging completely changed the way elements within StableNet^® can be classified, organized, filtered, and generally operated on. In my mind, this was a giant leap forward for the product and huge benefit to our customers.

This blog looks at the need for an automated NCCM solution to address security concerns, and the main features that one should look for in an NCCM solution.
Configuration management involves identifying the configuration of a firewall system at given points in time, systematically controlling changes to the configuration, and maintaining the integrity and traceability of the configuration throughout the lifecycle.

At Infosim^®, we like to talk about how StableNet^® can be a central part of a zero-touch automation solution. What we mean is that by using the advanced Discovery, NCCM, and Integration features native to StableNet^®, an organization can go from initial turn-up to final accepted configuration in a completely hands-off way using only StableNet^® and other integrated platforms to plan, configure, test, and manage IT devices.

Next to making StableNet^® even better, we are working towards an omni-channel experience for our Unified Network and Management Solution. For those who haven’t encountered this buzzword yet, it is simply to say that one can get the experience from every possible channel. Obviously, new channels are popping very fast these days. We have focused on integrating three main channels that have recently gained particular relevance.
