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.

Lack of Version Control

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.

Lack of Automation

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 Validation and Testing

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 and DevOps methodologies expedite the provisioning, configuration, testing, and deployment process that enables the customer to seamlessly operate and optimize their network.

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
