Corning is advancing its global network infrastructure through an automated, multi-vendor device refresh leveraging Itential's platform, supporting large-scale updates without expanding staff. This approach provides a reference for enterprise IT leaders seeking scalable automation to maintain and upgrade complex networks efficiently.

Corning's network automation implementation

To address the challenge of updating thousands of devices worldwide while maintaining current personnel levels, Corning adopted Itential's automation and orchestration solutions. By consolidating previously fragmented network management tools and streamlining workflows, Corning has enabled enterprise-wide self-service and consistent operations.

Corning's Director of LAN/WAN, Chris Healy, remarked that Itential’s platform facilitates a uniform, scalable automation strategy integrated with existing systems, allowing scope expansion of refresh activities without increasing staffing.

Ongoing network modernization strategy

Corning continues to progress on its network-refresh plan aimed at 2030 targets, focusing on enhancing consistency and compliance across its global infrastructure. The automation framework implemented helps network engineers concentrate on strategic innovation by automating routine tasks.

Automation and AI developments at AutoCon 4

AutoCon 4 presents automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications within network operations. The event features demonstrations and discussions centered on integrating AI technologies to redefine automation capabilities in enterprise IT environments.

Emphasizing ROI in automation projects

An upcoming session led by William Collins and Holly Holcomb addresses the importance of making return on investment a central element in automation initiatives. The discussion targets shifting perspectives from compliance to measurable performance improvements within teams.

Partnership expanding automation for public sector

Itential has partnered with Carahsoft to introduce automation and orchestration products tailored for public sector infrastructure modernization. This collaboration aims to support government agencies in adopting safe and efficient network management practices.

Additional content highlights include Lumen's adoption of agentic AI for self-driving networks, a podcast describing an architect’s journey from manual operations to orchestrated automation, and multiple resources on leveraging AI-driven lifecycle management and integrating Model Context Protocol (MCP) in network environments.

This Blog Signals brief presents an unbiased digest of Itential’s updates on network automation efforts, AI integration, and strategic approaches to ROI measurement relevant to enterprise technology decision-makers.
