A maintained platform foundation. More capacity for business impact.
Gluware Control provides the common operating environment, unified interface, governance, and scheduling services for the Gluware application suite.
WHY IT MATTERS
Stop rebuilding the operating environment for automation.
Network automation needs credentials, access controls, scheduling, logging, and a consistent way to operate its applications. These functions are essential, but maintaining a custom platform around them consumes engineering capacity without making the business more competitive. Gluware Control offloads that common foundation so teams can direct their investment toward policy, processes, and the results the enterprise needs.
WHAT GLUWARE CONTROL PROVIDES
Capabilities built for the work.
Operate a maintained platform
Use the shared operating environment, application interface, role-based access, credentials, scheduling, and logging.
Choose the deployment environment
Deploy on premises using supported hypervisors such as VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V, or in the customer’s cloud-provider environment.
Distribute orchestration and processing
The Gluware Primary Orchestration Engine provides central orchestration. Gluware Zone Engine(s) distribute processing across assigned zones to support enterprise scale and locality.
Control access and identity
Role-based access control (RBAC), detailed audit logging, LDAP and RADIUS authentication, SAML single sign-on (SSO), OAuth with Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE), and two-factor authentication support enterprise access policies. Authentication modes are configured alternatives.
Protect credentials and retained data
Centralized credential management uses AES-256-CBC encryption and integrates with CyberArk through Gluware Vault. TLS protects configured connections; organization-level data retention controls manage stored artifacts and logs.
THE BUSINESS CONTRIBUTION
Release capacity for work above the value line.
The business gains engineering capacity that can be applied to security, continuity, compliance, and growth. The network team retains responsibility for its operating policies while Gluware maintains the platform capabilities used to implement them.
PART OF THE FULL STACK
Connect the work to the wider platform.
Control supplies the common foundation. DIAL handles device interaction, and Network RPA coordinates processes across applications and external systems. Dashboard and Data Explorer make platform information accessible to the people who need it.
Foundations
DIAL
The Device Interaction and Automation Layer handles multi-vendor device interaction, semantic translation, normalization, and deterministic validation through CLI and API interfaces.
Orchestration & integrations
Network RPA
Build and run visual processes that connect Gluware applications, external systems, operational logic, scheduling, and traceable tasks.
Visibility & reporting
Dashboard
Customize dashboards and widgets for application, administrative, scheduling, and operational information.
Visibility & reporting
Data Explorer
Build reusable reports from data stored by Gluware, with field selection, filtering, grouping, formatting, scheduling, and exports.

PLATFORM CAPABILITIES
Git integration and Version Control
Git integration is the capability; Version Control is the Gluware component that provides it for supported automation artifacts.
CAPABILITIES THIS COMPONENT SUPPORTS
See the functional value.
Network discovery & onboarding
Discover the fleet, establish device context, and turn existing configurations into models your team can manage.
Device & OS lifecycle management
Connect discovered inventory, device advisories, image selection, deployment plans, and operational checks.
Configuration intent & drift management
Define reusable configuration intent, detect departures, apply modeled changes, and reassess the result.
Continuous compliance & reporting
Connect repeatable policy checks, corrective processes, and evidence that operations, security, and compliance teams can review.
Network exposure management
Bring device advisories, contextual CVE assessment, and supported remediation into a governed network process.
Cross-system orchestration
Connect network tasks, source-of-truth data, service-management steps, external executors, and records in a repeatable process.
AI-assisted automation building
Combine conversational assistance, development tools, and supported agent services with the applications that operate the network.
Network discovery
Build repeatable discovery plans for multi-vendor networks using seeded neighbor discovery or subnet scanning.
Process automation
Connect application tasks, decisions, approvals, and records through visual orchestration.
Network state assessments
Define CLI/API state checks for on-demand assessment, provisioning pre/post checks, and Network RPA tasks.
Device inventory
Maintain discovered hardware, software, configuration, site, and advisory information in a shared device inventory.
NIST & Cisco CVE/PSIRT integrations
Associate Cisco PSIRT advisories and NIST/NVD CVE information with discovered devices and software.
Configuration audit
Evaluate required and forbidden configuration conditions with repeatable audit policies and evidence.
Network state audit
Evaluate captured operational command results against defined rules and retain findings for review.
Git integration
Synchronize supported constructs, audit policies, and Network RPA artifacts with Git-based repositories.
OS management & patching
Plan, validate, schedule, and review supported network software upgrades, downgrades, and patching operations.
Backup & restore
Back up supported device configurations and preserve the model, policy, and process artifacts needed to operate them.
