When energy companies begin their enterprise network automation journeys, top of mind is enhancing network security, increasing agility and ensuring business continuity. No matter what path they are on as they move from manual and scripted network management to code-free, error-free automation, they share some common ground on what urgent challenges to tackle first.
This collection of network automation use-cases is designed to help energy companies learn from each other about the common challenges they face, the key learnings they gain along the way, and the benefits they experience as a result of putting intelligent network automation to work on some of their most pressing network challenges.
The Gluware® Intelligent Network Automation software suite delivers the features, simplicity and reliability energy companies seek today to discover, automate and orchestrate their complex, multi-vendor, multi-domain, multi-cloud network environments. To prevent network outages, manual errors and security issues, many global enterprises use the Gluware platform for an intent-based and declarative approach to automating their mission-critical networks.
As you explore these top network automation use cases and the IT challenges they present to energy companies, you will learn more about the ways that Gluware is solving these problems for customers today.

Analysts state that approximately 70% of all network outages are traced to human error and Network Operations spends 80%+ of their time trouble-shooting these issues. This is because networks are built over many years and most have significant technical debt, including aging, end-of-life equipment and unnecessarily bloated configurations. Since most network changes are still performed manually or through template pushes, companies are increasingly vulnerable and more prone to costly network outages. According to General Electric, offshore oil and gas organizations experience on average 27 separate incidents and $49 million annually in financial impacts due to unplanned downtime. Implementing network automation to inventory, audit, update, and enforce consistent configuration policies can eliminate errors and reduce outages by 90+%.

Energy companies are accelerating “cloud-first” strategies, consuming Software as a Service (SaaS) and moving workloads to the cloud via Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). SaaS and public cloud infrastructures have proven to drive agility, scalability, availability and align cost with consumption. Enabling energy companies to move from on-premises services, like mail servers and storage, to SaaS based services, like Microsoft 365, can mean significant changes to network traffic patterns. This will require a network re-architecture, or at least a reconfiguration, and most likely an iterative reconfiguration process to improve end-user performance.

Upgrading network device firmware / software is a complex and challenging task for IT operations, given that it introduces change— and therefore risk. It requires a highly coordinated effort to minimize downtime, especially when dealing with complex, multi-vendor, multi-operating system, and multi-domain networks. For example, IT organizations may try to limit firmware / software changes such as OS upgrades on their network equipment to once a year, or security patching on an as-needed basis only. Security vulnerabilities are the most urgent requirement and are the top priority for IT leadership because of the current high-profile hacks that are negatively impacting energy companies operationally, financially and publicly. This drives the requirement for network management teams to automate network OS changes and security patching at scale much more frequently to minimize risks.
