By 2026, 30% of enterprises will automate more than half of their network activities, according to Gartner. By comparison, less than 10% of enterprises were automating more than half of their network activities in mid-2023.
The research firm also noted in its latest Hype Cycle for I&O Automation that during the same timeframe, 50% of enterprises will use AI functions to automate “day 2” network operations, compared with fewer than 10% in mid-2023. Day 2 operations include tasks that are performed following a software deployment and are focused on maintaining software reliability, availability, and performance—such as monitoring performance, installing upgrades, updating systems, and performing routine maintenance.
