Model network intent from operational reality
Gluware discovers how your network is actually configured, translates that state into a normalized intent model, and create sa trustworthy foundation for automation without waiting for perfect documentation.
THE OPERATING CHALLENGE
Most network intent lives only as a fossil record
Most enterprise networks have run for decades without any reliable documentation or intent repository. The design intentions of past architects and countless ad-hoc changes only exist as a fossil record captured in configurations that are too sensitive to change, especially since they are poorly understood. Add to that the fact that a significant minority of configurations on enterprise network devices are bespoke, and you have a perfect mystery instead of clear network intent. While network intent database products and open source projects are valuable, that mysterious history blocks teams from reconciling top-down intent Source of Truth (SoT) databases with the living realities of their network.
WHAT GLUWARE CHANGES
Build network intent from the bottom-up
Discover continuously
Gluware doesn't start from the top down with an intent model abstraction. Instead, it starts from the bottom-up, collecting device, software, configuration, and operational state from the live network.
Normalize intent
The Gluware platform is founded on an industry-unique semantic translation capability called DIAL that turns vendor-specific configs discovered in the network into a normalized, working intent model.
Evolve from actual to desired
Turn the discovered baseline intent into policy-controlled intent and improve it progressively with our integrated suite of composable apps like Config Drift & Audit, Config Model Editor, and Titan AI.
SUSTAINABLE AUTOMATION
Top-down and ground-up are complementary
Top-down intent defines where the network should go. Discovery-driven modeling establishes where it truly starts. Gluware connects both, allowing teams to reconcile production reality with design rather than choosing one and ignoring the other. Gluware also integrates external SoTs like Netbox.
- Observe actual state
- Extract implemented intent
- Compare with desired design
- Resolve exceptions deliberately
- Maintain a living model including external SoTs
BUILD AUTOMATION FOR YOUR UNIQUE NETWORK AND TEAM
"Gluware recognizes the uniqueness of each customer. Not just from the design and infrastructure perspective--from the people perspective."
