Insourcing from MNSP

Background: We have a new CIO that wants to insource, everything else has been in-sourced now, networking is the last thing remaining.

Scope: Route, Switch, Wireless, DHCP, DNS, Network Security, UC, Webex, A/V

Size: 1500 Switches, 2500 AP's, 500 Routers, 40 Firewalls, 6000 Phones, etc

The part where I need r/networking:

  • Building 24/7 IT Operations Center
    • How to size Staffing?
    • Ticket load per person?
    • Ratio Tier 1 to Tier 2
  • Automation
    • What are you using?
    • What scales really well?
      • We are focusing on Python and looking at using Nornir over Ansible
  • Source of Truth
    • do you leverage your monitoring system as your SoT?
  • What am I missing?
