From Complex Operations to Intelligent Automation
Developers focus on delivering new features, but often lack the time and specialized expertise needed to maintain complex network and security solutions over the long term.
Network and security engineers know the infrastructure inside out, but their daily operational workload leaves little room for automation initiatives.
At the same time, APIs and vendor solutions are constantly changing. As a result, custom-built solutions require a significant amount of maintenance. This also increases dependence on individual developers and internal expertise.
This is where Sidarion’s Frame2 comes in: Frame2 standardizes and automates your workflows, reduces manual effort, and frees your team to focus on higher-value initiatives.
Thanks to its modular design, you can choose exactly the features you need. The individual modules are customized to your requirements and, if necessary, supplemented with custom-developed modules. This gives you a solution that is precisely tailored to your needs while offering the benefits of a standardized platform.
Frame2 is continuously refined by Sidarion, regularly expanded, and reliably supported through our SIDcare support service, which includes SLAs.

Your Use Case
Do you have recurring tasks that could be automated?
Your Use Case
Not every process can be addressed with standard modules. That’s why, when needed, we develop custom extensions or entirely new automation solutions—tailored precisely to your infrastructure and processes.
And this also with an SLA and ongoing development.
How Frame2 Works
Frame2 consists of a central platform core and modular applications. Shared services such as authentication, authorization, logging, and data storage are available to all modules. New capabilities can be added at any time without modifying the platform core. Frame2 integrates seamlessly into existing systems via standardized APIs.
