A cloud-based router management system for enterprise network management

Every operation of the IT industry has been moved to the cloud and evolved to a point where minimal or no human intervention is needed. The Networking domain is the last to catch up to this trend. Most networking Devices like routers, switches, and firewalls require administrators to log in to them manually to maintain network policies defined by the business processes. For businesses with large-scale operations, it's impossible to maintain these network devices without a centralized management system. This system can be pictured as software deployed on the cloud providing a centralized control panel for administrators to monitor and maintain their network devices, it even provides capabilities to automate certain network operations. Costs of operation & maintenance of large-scale networks are high as it requires personnel specializing in highly isolated domains, platforms, and vendors. Due to reliance on network device command-line interfaces and vendor-specific practices. Teams from multiple departments cannot collaborate effectively. Timely backups and storage of device configurations are critical, manually doing this is cumbersome and may introduce security risks. Fault reporting and identification can eat up valuable time and resources of a business. Provision of new policies across the network is critical and has to be done swiftly to evade newly discovered security risks but due to the above-mentioned overheads, it takes time.
