نگاهی اجمالی به خدمات به عنوان کد (Services as Code)
قابل ارائه از طریق خدمات حرفه‌ای سیسکو (Cisco Professional Services)
اتوماسیون (Automation)، مشاوره دواپس (DevOps) و پشتیبانی
به‌طور سنتی، پیکربندی (Configuration) و تأمین (Provisioning) خدمات و زیرساخت‌های شبکه به‌صورت دستی انجام می‌شود و نیازمند طی کردن مراحل متعدد و تعامل با ابزارها و پلتفرم‌های گوناگون است. با این حال، این رویکرد می‌تواند مستعد خطا، زمان‌بر و از نظر تکرارپذیریِ یکپارچه، دشوار باشد.
● بیش از ۸۰ درصد مشکلات شبکه ناشی از پیکربندی نادرست (Improper Configuration) و مسائل مربوط به مدیریت تغییرات (Change Management) است.[1]
سیسکو (Cisco)®رویکرد «خدمات به عنوان کد» (Services as Code) به سازمان شما این امکان را می‌دهد که وضعیت زیرساخت شبکه خود را تعریف کرده و با تمامی عناصر آن همانند نرم‌افزاری رفتار کنید که قابلیت نسخه‌بندی و مدیریت در مقیاس بزرگ را دارد. متدولوژی‌های اتوماسیون (Automation) و دوآپس امنیتی (DevSecOps)، فرآیندهای تأمین، پیکربندی، تست و استقرار را تسریع می‌بخشند تا بتوانید با پشتیبانی فنی ۲۴ ساعته در ۷ روز هفته، شبکه خود را به شکلی یکپارچه مدیریت و بهینه‌سازی کنید.
