Expand network automation to edge devices

This solution helps you build and manage a flexible, secure, cost-effective network across distributed locations.

Overview

Managing networks at scale is hard - keeping consistency across all networks is harder!

Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform (AAP) and Cisco Meraki deliver automated edge device provisioning and configuration capabilities that simplify and speed network deployment. A cloud-based network infrastructure platform, Meraki provides centralized management for edge and branch technologies, including wireless access points, smart cameras, sensors, network switching and branch routing. Rapidly deploy and manage agile, scalable, adaptable networks that deliver optimal performance for critical applications and services. The certified Meraki content collection simplifies deployment and management of Meraki devices and endpoints across edge locations. Using predefined content, you can automate many common administration tasks—including network and device deployment, configuration at scale, and compliance checking and management—to eliminate manual, repetitive, error-prone processes across your network. Using automation workflows and playbooks, you can extend your network automation frameworks and standards to Meraki devices to meet the operational requirements of your edge network. With event-driven automation capabilities, AAP can help you proactively manage edge devices and optimize network performance by automatically responding to events detected by edge devices like low batteries or unexpected network traffic patterns. What’s more, with AAP, you can also automate across data center and campus networks, including Cisco NXOS and Cisco ACI.
