ONUG Keynote and Sessions to Showcase How Network RPA and Intelligent Network Automation Will Enable the Pathway to Responsible AIOps and Self-Operating Networks
SACRAMENTO, Calif., April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Gluware, Inc., the leader in intelligent network automation and an ONUG Spring 2022 Thought Leadership sponsor, today introduced its Network Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solution, an integrated application that enables users to create, manage and monitor no-code workflows across a wide range of native and third-party integrations. With this latest addition to the Intelligent Network Automation suite, Gluware adds another powerful application to offer businesses access to end-to-end, intelligent and event-driven hyperautomation of IT infrastructure at scale.
Gluware Network RPA provides users with the ability to securely leverage intelligent process automation for mission-critical network workflows, such as moves/adds/changes/deletes (MACD), assessments, troubleshooting, OS change processes, configuration management and more. Users will have access to task-level operations from each application, along with external tasks for integrations with systems, including ITSMs, IPAMs, SYSLOG and monitoring for SNMP, NetFlow and sFlow.
Gluware Network RPA includes three components:
- Workflow Library - Provides workflow management and information with the ability to import, export, and track development levels and execute workflows. Workflows can be executed manually, scheduled or triggered (event-driven).
- Workflow Editor - An automation flow designer with a drag-and-drop user interface to build out end-to-end processes of triggers, actions and events using pre-built tasks and conditional logic (if-then-else) that supports multi-path decision logic.
- Workflow Activity - Provides multi-layer monitoring and execution results at the workflow layer, task layer and device/endpoint layer. Users can manage workflow states, including pending, running and blocked. Full log and review access are also provided.
By offering DevOps style development for workflow level progression (draft, test, production), Gluware Network RPA accelerates hyperautomation and enables businesses to get on the NetDevOps fast track. The turnkey solution also enables a much wider range of integrations – including pre-built API integrations – leveraging third-party libraries, including StackStorm, and providing integration packs with systems, including ServiceNow, Jira, AWS, Ansible, Slack and more. Network RPA constrains workflow test and validation processes with integrated device classification to prevent inadvertent execution on production equipment as well as authentication and RBAC integration with Gluware Control.
"Although companies are pursuing digital transformation to improve business services, many never reap the efficiencies gained because they get bogged down in how changes will affect the network downstream," said Jeff Gray, CEO and co-founder, Gluware. "Gluware Network RPA offers a simplified approach to realizing the ROI and value from your network by moving beyond automated tasks to ensure efficiency at the process level. Instead of spending time fixing problems caused by human error, this enables IT teams to automate end-to-end processes, build advanced automation without coding, and enforce processes to maintain compliance and enhance security."
At ONUG Spring 2022, Gluware customers, alongside company executives and networking experts, will highlight how Gluware's intelligent network automation enables growth and business success. Together, they will address the ways Gluware simplifies the discovery, analysis and maintenance of traditional, API-driven and cloud networks and optimizes network performance in the face of escalating complexity.
The complete list of sessions includes:
