Gluware Introduces Data Explorer, a New Application Enabling Data-Driven Network Automation and Lifecycle Management Out-of-the-BoxSACRAMENTO, Calif., Aug. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Gluware, Inc., the leader in intelligent network automation for the enterprise, today announced the availability of Gluware 4.1. The latest update to Gluware's intent-based, no-code/low-code automation suite introduces Data Explorer, a new Gluware application that offers unparalleled visibility into network data. Data Explorer enables NetOps teams to automate based on actionable, data-driven insights to enhance network agility, performance and security. With the additional enhancements in Gluware 4.1, organizations can use Gluware Network Automation to accelerate the replacement of less extensible and secure legacy network configuration and change management (NCCM) solutions. "As enterprise networks become more complex, IT teams need to work faster and have better control of their network resources, or they will face a number of downstream risks. Legacy tools like NCCM do not work in modern environments and lack the reach to automate multi-vendor, multi-domain and multi-cloud networks," said Jeff Gray, CEO and co-founder, Gluware. "NetOps teams need granular visibility across entire enterprises to gain critical intelligence to accurately automate business intent with enough reach to orchestrate the entirety of a network - the old, the new and the future. This is critical for achieving the sustained performance and security that can turn IT into a competitive advantage." Gluware 4.1 delivers intent-based, idempotent automation with closed-loop verification, providing extensibility, scalability and security that results in better productivity, reduced time to value and improved return on IT investment. Eliminating the need to build-your-own automation, Gluware offers both off-the-shelf applications and advanced customization through Gluware Lab, its integrated development environment (IDE). These features simplify the deployment of Gluware's powerful suite of network automation solutions that help NetOps teams optimize IT resources. According to Gartner, Inc., "networking leaders struggle with network automation progress, since only 26% maintain accurate network data, severely stalling the effectiveness of these initiatives for 74% of enterprises ... Most enterprises' network management tool architectures are a siloed patchwork across vendor tools, features and network data representations. These domain-level tools create multiple disjointed processes — each with its own workflow, adding unnecessary complexity to network automation tasks." [1] With deep visibility into platform, configuration and operational state data across enterprise networks of any size, Gluware 4.1's visual dashboards enable NetOps teams to visualize, analyze and act on data derived from enterprises' complex underlying networks. Regardless of technical experience, IT and network teams can use Gluware's no-code automation and orchestration for simple, repeatable tasks along with the advanced low-code development capabilities in Gluware Lab to extend and customize solutions to meet unique business demands. Gluware 4.1 provides enterprises with infrastructure as code and the automated orchestration of network discovery and inventory, configuration drift and auditing, OS management, configuration management and more. Additional enhancements featured in Gluware 4.1 include: Data-Driven Insights
Expanded Multi-Vendor and Multi-Domain Support

Customer and Partner Quotes "Gluware continues to introduce new capabilities that directly address the pain points many NetOps teams are experiencing right now - a lack of data visibility and intelligence, the overburdening of IT teams with obsolete networking management solutions; vendor lock-in with limited extensibility; and, most critically, automation solutions that require extensive coding plus months of ramp time before they deliver value. Gluware takes these issues head on to deliver a network automation solution that every enterprise can use out-of-the-box for immediate impact," said Nick Lippis, Co-Founder and Co-Chair, ONUG. "Gluware Data Explorer gives us unprecedented visibility into our network data. It helps our NetOps teams make smarter, more strategic decisions about how we manage and automate changes to our network. With these actionable insights, such as real-time data on switch port utilization, we're able to perform capacity planning more accurately. This data informs our decision-making and our network is more intelligent because of it. As a result, we're able to focus more resources on mission-critical initiatives, even as business demands change and we scale our infrastructure," said a global financial enterprise.
