AI in Networking: Beyond Automation

For years, network management has relied on automation to handle repetitive netop tasks, streamline processes, and reduce human error. But AI in networking is not just "automation 2.0"—it's a transformative leap that brings intelligence, adaptability, and proactive decision-making to the forefront.

Where We Started: The Foundation of Network Management

Managing heterogeneous networks has always been a complex challenge, and Dorado’s experts in managing technology from any vendor. The Cruz platform has long excelled at this, providing robust tools to oversee diverse network environments, for instance, with Cruz’s built-in Automation Framework, we automate netop and cloudop tasks. The addition of Software-Defined Networking, SDN, layers marked a significant milestone, enabling intent-based network management. This allowed administrators to define fabric topologies, and the system would configure the network to achieve those goals.

Where We Are Now: AI-Driven Orchestration

AI is taking network management to the next level. With AI-powered orchestration strategies, platforms like Cruz can:

• • Simplify Complex Processes: Traditional UI-driven workflows are being replaced by AI agents that provide actionable insights and recommendations, reducing the need for manual intervention.
  • Proactively Assess Infrastructure Health: AI continuously monitors network performance, identifying potential issues before they escalate.
  • Optimize Workload Performance: By analyzing data in real-time, AI can recommend intelligent, data-driven actions to balance workloads and prevent resource underutilization.

The Cruz Advantage: Agentic AI

Cruz's integration of Agentic AI represents a pivotal step forward. This AI layer simplifies network management and deep analytics by:

• • Eliminating the need for complex, UI-driven processes, empowering experts to focus on strategic decisions rather than operational minutiae.
  • Enabling process streamlining without requiring overhaul of the existing systems.
  • Offering a non-prescriptive view of network health and performance.
  • Delivering intelligent recommendations during critical events.

Why This Matters: The Opportunity for Networking Experts

For networking and infrastructure professionals, AI-driven orchestration is a strategic enabler. It allows teams to:

• • Stay ahead in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
  • Respond faster to critical events with confidence.
  • Maximize the performance of your infrastructure.

The Future: AI is Not Standing Still

As AI continues to evolve, so does Cruz. The journey from intent-based networking to AI-driven orchestration is just the beginning. By embracing these advancements, Cruz is ensuring that network management remains not only efficient but also intelligent, adaptive, and AI-ready.
