Challenge

Enterprises using legacy networking hardware in a heterogeneous environment often face operational challenges.

Console-based activities and manual implementation processes stretch the time taken to deliver network services. Further, vendor lock-in prevents companies from adopting new technology solutions. Multiple monitoring and management tools mean that there is no single management pane, and this impacts network quality of service (QoS) and a higher mean time to recovery.   

SOLUTION

TCS Cognix^TM for Network Services helps enterprises transition to cloud-native and business- responsive networks with demand-aligned solutions for transformation and managed services.

We build a technology evolution roadmap to modernize and manage enterprise networks by leveraging services across the value chain. These include:

• Network blueprinting: Assess enterprise network landscape and develop the roadmap and business case for network transformation.

• Managed SASE: Access key functionalities from multiple OEM partners and deliver secure access service edge (SASE) as a service.

• Managed OT networks: Digitalize and modernize operational technology networks.

• Platform-led approach:
  • Netomate^TM: Automate the enterprise network delivery using DevOps principles.
  • TCS Network as a service (TNaaS^TM) platform:  Provide a single pane of glass view for hybrid enterprise networks.

• Intelligent branch networks: Build branch networks with emerging technologies.

BENEFITS

The solution provides the following benefits to enterprises:

• 2X enhanced network performance by improving QoS, app-aware networking, programmable data center, and cloud-optimized network

• Reduced site expansion timeline from weeks to days through zero-touch provisioning, centralized network controllers, and automated network delivery

• 25-40% reduced total cost of ownership

• 20-30% reduced mean time taken to restore through a single pane of monitoring and management

• 30% improved overall operational efficiency
