Network as Code
Manage Networks following Infrastructure as Code principles.
Redefining Networking at Scale
Empowering Networks with Automation
Solve operational challenges with a DevOps approach
Automation is only helpful if you can operate it. Enter Network as Code.
Made for engineers
Initially created to fulfill our own delivery needs, Network as Code eventually became a community project to support our customers. Now it is available for any/all kinds of network infrastructure deployments.
Customizable
Network as Code applies a proven software engineering methodology to network infrastructure. Operate your network from a central source of truth.
Operationally minded
It is designed to be operated by network engineers. No need to learn a new language, use text to describe your network infrastructure.
Open Source Toolchain
Utilizing the best open-source tools, that are widely used in the industry, focusing in the area that matters most: network automation.
Network operations challenges
Traditionally, the configuration and provisioning of infrastructure is executed manually requiring a series of steps and interactions with various tools and platforms.
Without version control, it is difficult to track and manage changes made to configurations over time. This can result in configuration drift, where the actual state of the infrastructure deviates from the intended state, leading to inconsistencies, errors, and difficulties in troubleshooting.
Without code-based configurations, it is challenging to reproduce infrastructure and service environments accurately. Each deployment or provisioning becomes a unique manual process, making it difficult to ensure consistency across different environments.
Lack of pre-production testing and validation means that changes made to the infrastructure and services are not thoroughly tested before being deployed in a production environment. This increases the risk of encountering issues and can lead to unexpected downtime or outages.
Automation
Code-based configuration allows for automation of provisioning, deployment, and scaling processes. Infrastructure can be created or modified programmatically, making it easier to manage complex and dynamic environments.
Version Control
Configuration files can be versioned, allowing teams to track changes, collaborate, and roll back to previous versions if needed.
Testing and Validation
Configuration code can be tested, validated, and integrated into continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, improving the reliability and quality of infrastructure changes.
Scale as You Grow
The approach allows a business to start small and then expanding the infrastructure, both vertically and horizontally, as the business grows, while still maintaining the same level of automation.
Powered by Lifecycle Services (LCS)
Readiness Assessment
Understand the functional specifications to get from current state to desired state of continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) with automation.
Enablement
People, process and solution enablement to accelerate the adoption and operation of your networks, leading to improved efficiency, accuracy, and scalability.
Solution Setup
Setup and integration that allow network teams to rapidly and reliably build, deploy, and manage network infrastructure as code.
Continuous Rollback Capability
Automated, continuous deployment of changes with in-built rollback capability.
Release Management
Planning, coordinating, and deploying software releases to production environments.
24x7 Support
Continuous support access throughout the lifecycle.
It's all about Infrastructure
Once users become familiar with the approach they will become better and faster at doing what they need to. Network as Code offers a proven methodology to manage any kind of network infrastructure.
