HIGHLIGHTS
- Enterprises using legacy networking hardware in a heterogeneous environment often face operational challenges such as incompatibility with cloud services, higher maintenance cost, limited scalability, and security vulnerability.
- Often, the lack of a single management pane due to multiple enterprise network monitoring and management tools impacts network service quality and user experience.
- TCS CognixTM for Networks helps enterprises transition to cloud-native and business-responsive networks, leading to enhanced network performance, improved operational efficiency, lower costs, and better user experience.
Overview
Enterprises are looking for ways to overcome the operational challenges that come with using legacy networking hardware in a heterogeneous networking environment.
Many enterprises use a heterogeneous networking environment with legacy networking hardware; multiple vendors; workloads distributed across on-premise, public and hybrid cloud; and multi-domain protocol solutions. Then, there are users accessing the network from managed devices as well as unmanaged personal devices. The lack of a single management pane due to multiple enterprise network monitoring and management tools for different network solutions such as for local area network (LAN), wireless local area network (WLAN), and wide area network (WAN), for security, and data centers leads to network quality of service (QoS) adherence deviations and a higher mean time to recovery, impacting the overall user experience. With TCS Cognix™ for Networks—powered by AI and ML, generative AI, and a range of our proprietary pre-built solutions—we help enterprises realize a fully autonomous network operating center, enhanced network performance, improved observability, and higher operational efficiency.

SOLUTION
We offer a range of network and security offerings for next-generation automation, superior user experience, and unified network governance.
TCS Cognix™ for Networks is a suite of network and security offerings encompassing advisory and consulting, architecture and design, implementation and migration, validation, and managed network services. We offer next-generation automation, superior user experience, and a unified governance for networks—delivered using our standardized delivery platform and service catalog approach for adopting industrial Internet of Things–operational technology (IIOT-OT), multi-cloud network, DC network, intelligent branch networks, software-defined WAN (SD-WAN), private 5G/LTE, and more.
TCS Cognix™ for Networks covers the following:
- Private mobile network: Through this capability, we accelerate digital transformation of enterprises and industrial sites by enabling an agile, reliable, and secure cellular network. We focus on enabling smart solutions and faster business value realization by applying industry 4.0 standards across different entities.
- Managed network services: We enable standardized delivery processes via TCS Cognix™ Platform for Networks and GenAI-based automated processes for an efficient and secure NOC operation. Delivered through our dedicated and shared services delivery model, our services cater to both software-defined (SDx) and traditional networks for a rich user experience.
- SDx transformation: This includes detailed assessment, blue printing, architecture, and design covering transport, technology (OEM) and services. Through our offering, we enable enterprises to accelerate their digital transformation and cloudification journey, while building resiliency and ensuring zero trust by leveraging zero touch services.
- Managed security: Our reference architecture framework for SASE brings in key functionalities from different original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners to deliver ‘SASE as a service’, managed operational technology (OT) networks. The service includes OT network digitization, and mobile private networks plan, build, and deployment.
- Network as a service: By combining hardware, software, field services and support services into a single as-a-service offering, it helps modernize and manage enterprise networks, while simplifying adoption of OEM networking technology for enterprises.
- Network delivery platforms: Our ready-to-use platform solutions borne out of decades of research and innovation in enterprise network operations drive increased agility, scalability, efficiency, and security for enterprises.
- TCS Cognix™ Platform for Networks: With its pre-integrated tools and pre-built use cases for service management, intelligent automation, monitoring, AI operations (AIOps), and network observability, the platform can automate the IT service management process end to end and perform event correlation.
- TCS Cognix™ for Networks Observability: A unified monitoring and management platform for hybrid networks, this can play a key role in network transformation initiatives. It provides end-to-end visibility across multiple platforms for better user experience.
- TCS Cognix™ for Networks Automation: A platform that enables secure, reliable, and faster network deployment by bringing programmability into network life cycle management through its orchestration layer over diverse network technologies, driving three times improved agility and 25% more productivity in network delivery.
