Apstra has delivered the first and only vendor-agnostic, closed-loop, fully intent-based networking platform to answer this challenge. The Apstra Operating System (AOS) is generally available and the company is partnering with top system integrators, distributors and value-added solutions providers around the globe to address hyperscale and enterprise companies, and service providers.

Allocate future networking budget for IBNS, using improved network uptime as the funding driver.” [2]
