IT operations used to be predictable. Infrastructure scaled in measured steps. Scripts handled the routine. Teams had time to plan.
Not anymore.
Today, enterprise IT operates in a pressure cooker. There are too many alerts, too many systems, too many runbooks just to keep the lights on. A patch slips through one environment? It becomes a zero-day exploit. A VM’s performance degrades at 2 a.m.? There’s a Slack war and a 3-hour call before anyone hits the root cause. Meanwhile, leadership demands more: more availability, more agility, and less cost.
Teams are burning out automating automation – building scripts to manage other scripts. The environment changes too fast. The complexity is too high. The signal-to-noise ratio is crushing.
This isn’t a tooling problem; it’s an operational model problem.
It’s time to move from manual automation to intelligent operations – from brittle, hand-coded responses to policy-driven, AI-assisted decisions that evolve with your environment. This is where SmartOps begins.
SmartOps is the convergence of automation, observability, and machine learning, built directly into your IT infrastructure. It’s not just automating known tasks – it’s anticipating unknowns, detecting drift, and fixing issues before they hit SLAs.
And for organizations running on Red Hat OpenShift, SmartOps is closely within reach.
with Red Hat OpenShift and Ansible Automation Platform, Island Networks helps enterprise IT teams go beyond scripts:
- Red Hat Insights continuously analyzes your environment for misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and performance bottlenecks – backed by Red Hat’s global threat telemetry.
- Event-Driven Ansible automates decisions and responses without manual intervention – self-healing infrastructure, not just scheduled jobs.
- OpenShift Observability Stack feeds real-time signals into smart alerting pipelines that identify anomalies before they escalate.
- Policy-as-code ensures governance is enforced automatically – no skipped steps, no forgotten approvals.
Island Networks clients are using SmartOps to:
- Reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) by up to 60%.
- Eliminate manual change approvals for 70% of deployment tasks.
- Catch configuration drift weeks before it would have caused downtime.
- Automatically scale workloads during unpredictable demand surges.
Detect and resolve incidents autonomously.
Enforce security and policy at every layer.
Reduce waste, rework, and firefighting time.
Deliver faster, with fewer resources.
Let Ops teams focus on engineering, not emergencies.
For CISOs, SmartOps is a force multiplier. Policy-as-code ensures compliance enforcement isn’t optional. Automated responses reduce time-to-containment for incidents. AI-based visibility cuts through noise and shrinks the unknowns in your threat landscape.
It’s not about trusting machines – it’s about codifying human judgement at scale.
Island Networks is more than just a Red Hat Premier Partner – we specialize in helping enterprise IT teams design and implement secure, automated, intelligent operations across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
We’ve helped security-driven organizations move from script sprawl to policy-based automation, from reactive firefighting to predictive infrastructure performance/
We don’t just deploy tools – we help build operating models.
If you’re still managing systems one script at a time, you’re burning time, burning out your teams, and falling behind the curve. SmartOps, powered by Red Hat, delivered by Island Networks – lets you reclaim control and lead with confidence.
