Take full control of your network with Autonomous Management Framework (AMF) from Allied Telesis, an intelligent network management solution designed to automate operations, improve resilience, and reduce administrative overhead. Combined with Vista Manager™, AMF enables organisations to manage complex wired and wireless infrastructure through a single, centralised, and highly automated platform.
Autonomous Management Framework (AMF) is a network automation and management technology developed by Allied Telesis that allows IT teams to centrally manage, monitor, and automate entire networks from a single device.
AMF creates a self-managing network environment by linking switches, routers, and wireless devices into a unified system.
Key capabilities of AMF include zero-touch device provisioning, automatic configuration backup and recovery, centralised firmware management, network-wide policy enforcement and self-healing network capabilities. This significantly reduces manual configuration and ensures consistency across all sites.
AMF operates using a master-node architecture, where a central device controls and manages all connected network infrastructure.
