01Scale Without Control
3,200 devices managed by 8 network engineers using a patchwork of tools: Excel spreadsheets, homegrown scripts, and RANCID covering only part of the network. No centralized view, no unified inventory. Configurations drifted silently across segments without anyone noticing until something broke.
02High-Risk Changes on a Live Network
Every change on the transit network could affect thousands of subscribers. There was no dry-run capability, no automated rollback. When a change caused an incident, the average resolution time was 2 hours 40 minutes. The team was flying blind every time a maintenance window opened.
03NIS2 Compliance as a Critical Operator
Classified as an operator of vital importance, the company faced strict NIS2 obligations: full traceability of modifications on all critical infrastructure, detection of unauthorized changes, and rapid restoration capability. None of the existing tools covered these requirements, and the compliance team had no automated evidence to present.
04Mass CPE Deployments at a Standstill
Rolling out new service templates across the CPE fleet was a manual nightmare. Activating IPv6 or updating QoS templates across 800+ CPEs required touching each device individually. One such campaign took 3 weeks of engineering time with no rollback safety net if a device rejected the configuration.
