Intelligent Network Automation for Modern IT Teams

In today's complex networking environments, efficient management is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and reducing operational costs. Switchshop, as an Allied Telesis Gold Partner, proudly offers the Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF), designed to streamline and automate network operations for businesses of all sizes.

What is AMF?

Allied Telesis AMF is an innovative network automation framework designed to simplify daily operations and keep networks running reliably with minimal manual intervention. From configuration backups to firmware upgrades and device recovery, AMF allows your entire network to be managed as a single virtual device, reducing complexity and improving responsiveness during failures.

AMF can be deployed across the core, distribution and edge without restructuring your existing physical topology, making it easy to adopt, easy to manage and ideal for organisations that want to reduce operational costs without sacrificing performance.

Unified Command Line Interface (CLI): Group multiple devices into a single logical working set and execute commands across them simultaneously, reducing maintenance windows and eliminating configuration inconsistencies.

 

AMF Remote Login: Enable secure access to any device across the network without direct console or SSH connectivity, improving agility and accelerating troubleshooting.

 

Automated Configuration Backup and Recovery: AMF master nodes automatically store full configuration, firmware, license data and scripts for every managed device. In the event of hardware failure, AMF instantly reconfigures a replacement, delivering true zero-touch recovery.

 

Rolling Firmware Auto-Upgrade: Perform seamless, hands-free firmware upgrades. AMF updates devices one at a time, verifies stability and automatically rolls back if issues arise.

 

Smart Node Provisioning: Deploy new or replacement devices with zero manual intervention. AMF identifies device roles and applies the correct configuration automatically.

 

Overlay Deployment: AMF determines the optional logical topology without requiring physical restructuring, providing rapid, flexible and non-disruptive rollout.

Why Choose Allied Telesis AMF?

 

Allied Telesis AMF offers a suite of intelligent automation tools designed to simplify and optimise network management for modern IT environments. Features such as auto-provisioning allow new devices to be automatically configured as they are added, while the centralised command interface enables IT teams to manage multiple devices as if they were a single, unified system, significantly reducing operational overhead.

 

Additional capabilities include automated disaster recovery, which ensures failed nodes can be restored quickly with minimal manual intervention and intelligent firmware management, which allows firmware updates to be deployed across the entire network effortlessly. Combined with the web-based Virtual Vista Manager interface for full visibility and control, AMF provides a scalable, easy-to-manage platform that keeps networks running efficiently and securely.
