Intentiual and Selector join forces to provide AI-powered, automated network and infrastructure operations with closed-loop functionality.
In a groundbreaking development, network automation specialist Itential and AI-powered observability provider Selector have joined forces to deliver a revolutionary closed-loop network operations solution. This partnership aims to streamline infrastructure management, improve network reliability, and accelerate incident resolution.
The heart of this collaboration is the integration of Itential's Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server with Selector's AI-driven network intelligence. Selector's AI models are designed to detect critical network events such as interface failures or configuration drifts, triggering Itential's automated orchestration workflows via the MCP Server. This synergy enables real-time policy validation, automated remediation, and compliance reporting, thereby closing the loop on network incidents from detection to resolution automatically.
Key benefits of this solution include universal AI integration, automated root-cause analysis and remediation, real-time compliance and auditability, enhanced security and governance, and closed-loop network automation. The universal AI integration allows the MCP Server to act as a translator between any AI or large language model (LLM) and Itential's network orchestration workflows, enabling flexible AI-driven network operations.
The solution also offers automated root-cause analysis and remediation, providing continuous compliance reporting and policy validation during remediation processes for secure, governed automation. Incorporating role-based access control (RBAC) and audit trails, it ensures network actions are authorized and traceable.
Highlighted use cases include monitoring and fixing interface failures, detecting configuration drifts, and automating the entire incident lifecycle from detection through remediation and compliance verification. Ideal for environments demanding high network availability and stringent compliance, this solution promises to revolutionize network management.
One of the significant advantages of this partnership is the potential to reduce Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR). By eliminating the need for manual escalations, it simplifies and accelerates network and infrastructure automation. Itential receives these triggers in real-time and executes automated workflows to resolve issues, update inventory, and close tickets.
Attendees are invited to see a joint demo and join the "Close the Loop" scavenger hunt to win prizes. A webinar about the joint solution is upcoming, and registration can be found on Itential's website at www.itential.com/tech-partners/selector-ai and Selector's website at www.selector.ai.
The integration between the Itential Platform and the Selector AIOps Platform bridges the operational gap between insights and action. This partnership allows organizations to operate with greater confidence in responding to anomalies, performing routine tasks, and automating across cloud and network domains.
Both Itential and Selector will have booths in the World of Solutions at Cisco Live San Diego, where the integrated solution will be showcased live. Kannan Kothandaraman, CEO and Co-Founder of Selector, states that the partnership is a big step forward for infrastructure teams, enabling them to go beyond detection and move faster, cut through the noise, and finally close the loop between detection and resolution.
In summary, the Itential and Selector partnership delivers an AI-driven, closed-loop network operations solution combining Selector’s event detection and AI insight with Itential’s MCP-enabled automated orchestration, providing improved network reliability, faster incident resolution, and enhanced operational governance. This collaboration is set to redefine infrastructure management, offering organizations the opportunity to unlock the true promise of AI-driven infrastructure.
