Gluware network automation
CLIENT: Large enterprise with complex network environments, requiring robust and scalable solutions to manage its extensive IT infrastructure effectively.
CHALLENGE:
The objective of the Gluware Network Automation Program is to bring the benefits of AI/ML-driven network and security automation to your business, accelerating time to value while increasing operational efficiency and ROI. With an initial Gluware installation and onboarding, you can automate to your standards and integrate with your third-party systems, and, as a result, achieve autonomous network operations.
The main challenge is assessing and planning the existing network and customer-specific requirements to determine the scope of the automation project. This evaluation includes processes, policies, technology/tools, resources, and documentation surrounding the current network.
SOLUTION:
- Assessment & Planning
The first step is assessing the current network, devices, and requirements to develop a detailed network automation plan.
- Installation & Onboarding
Installing Gluware on the existing network and onboarding various device types enables immediate monitoring and management from the Gluware platform.
- Gluware Configuration
Using customer input, Coravant will compose configuration audit policies to ensure accurate and secure connections across the network through centralized policy-based configuration management.
- System Integration & Process
Further integration of Gluware into customer systems and third-party integrations tailored to operational needs.
- Creating and validating OS Manager Plan for unique device types.
- Creating and testing features for unique device types.
- Creating automated workflows of Gluware tasks.
- Integration with third-party systems for operational efficiency.
- Installation and integration of StackStorm for further automation capabilities.
- Knowledge Transfer & Training
Once the Gluware platform is operational and integrated, necessary training and documentation are provided to ensure effective management of the network automation platform.
RESULT:
- Enhanced Scalability & Reliability
Used scalable provisioning engines to identify and verify network actions at scale.
- Cost Avoidance
Reduced time spent on global network configuration changes, troubleshooting, and training time for network operations.
- Improved Developer Productivity
Streamlined network operations allow developers to focus on value-added features rather than network and configuration management.
- Robust Security
Enhanced security through centralized configuration policy, enforcement, and verification.
- Consistency Across Complex Networks
Ensured consistent network management across multi-vendor, multi-platform networks with both physical and virtual components, reducing errors and vulnerabilities.
