TD updates thousands of network devices with Red Hat
How a major bank automates network upgrades across thousands of devices. This customer story video shows how TD collaborated with Red Hat to implement the Ansible Automation Platform, automating complex network updates and improving operational efficiency across its branches. Learn from TD's experience to see what standardized automation could mean for your own network.
How did TD use Red Hat to automate network device updates?
TD serves millions of customers across thousands of branches, and each branch depends on its own set of network devices to deliver services reliably. Manually maintaining and updating all of those devices was time‑consuming and often required IT teams to work overnight or during off-hours.
To address this, TD partnered with Red Hat and adopted
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to automate infrastructure maintenance. By using Ansible to standardize and automate updates, TD can:
- Keep thousands of network devices consistently up to date
- Reduce manual, error-prone configuration work
- Limit the need for late-night maintenance windows for IT staff
This approach helps TD maintain a more reliable network for its millions of customers while improving how IT teams manage large-scale device updates.
What benefits does automation bring to TD’s IT teams and customers?
By automating network infrastructure maintenance with
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, TD is able to rethink how it manages a very large, distributed environment:
For IT teams:- Less manual work to update and maintain thousands of devices
- Fewer overnight or off-hours maintenance windows
- More consistent configurations across branches, which can reduce configuration drift and related issues
For customers:- More stable and reliable branch services, since network devices are kept current
- Reduced risk of service disruption during maintenance activities
In short, automation helps TD reshape day-to-day operations so teams can focus more on improving services rather than just keeping devices running.
What is the Red Hat Innovation Awards program?
The
Red Hat Innovation Awards program recognizes customers that use Red Hat technologies to reimagine how they deliver IT and business value. Each year, Red Hat highlights organizations that turn big ideas into practical projects and measurable achievements.
In the 2026 program, Red Hat is honoring
four winners whose projects demonstrate what’s possible when teams collaborate using an open source approach. These stories show how organizations can:
- Apply open source tools and practices to real business challenges
- Transform operations through automation and modern infrastructure
- Deliver more reliable and scalable services
TD’s work with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform fits into this broader context of customers using open source-based solutions to rethink how they manage complex environments at scale.
