		<description><![CDATA[Struggles with the firmware update process are well known by Network Administrators in the cable industry. The copious tasks required to complete an end-to-end firmware update are painstaking and error-prone, often making the investment not worth the time it takes to complete the work... imagine doing these manual tasks over and over for hundreds to thousands of devices, many from different vendors, each with its own unique device update path! Clearly, this complex challenge needs a solution. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20171201_give_network_administrators_a_zero_impact_firmware_update_solution">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[IPAM solutions are the source of truth for IP resources on the network, but when performing IPAM functions such as assignments, reconciliations, DNS updates, network plans, or Regional Internet Registry (RIR) requests, IPAM is often limited by its integration with an OSS. Operational teams can find it challenging to complete routine tasks without an integrated IPAM solution due to siloed data pools and swivel-chair environments. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20171027_why_integrating_ipam_matters_and_how_to_achieve_it">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Large Communication Service Providers (CSPs) that provide transit to their customers need to pay special attention to those network segments to ensure that the IPs associated to them are actually being used. What happens should that customer move on or require more (or less) IP real estate? What do communication and management processes look like to ensure that all the various departments are aligned for rapid and seamless network configuration changes with no downtime? <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20170404_gaining_better_network_edge_visibility_with_automated_ipam">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Advancements in virtual private networking have extended system capabilities for service providers. Providers can divide LANs into multiple discrete segments using either Virtual Local Area Networks (vLANs), leverage Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) or Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) to host Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) that support service operations over multiple instances. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20170130_kill_the_spreadsheets_automate_vpn_ip_assignments">More...</a>]]></description>
