Bring your existing network under automation.
Discover the fleet, establish device context, and turn existing configurations into models your team can manage.
THE BUSINESS NEED
Overcome brownfield automation barriers.
Brownfield networks accumulate vendors, operating systems, and years of configuration decisions. Starting automation with manually assembled inventory and newly written device integrations delays the first useful outcome. Gluware provides discovery and model-onboarding capabilities on a maintained device-interaction foundation.
HOW THE CAPABILITY WORKS
How Gluware turns discovery into intent.
Find and organize the fleet
Device Manager builds and runs seeded-device discovery plans using ARP and CDP/LLDP, or subnet crawls. Site Explorer creates sites and assigns devices; Device Explorer supports device import/export, API additions, discovery, bulk editing, configuration search, snapshots, backup/restore, reboot, and detailed logging.
Discover configuration models
Config Model Editor’s Intelligent Model Discovery creates modeling instances from the existing configuration. Required Feature Binders and vendor Config Modeling Kits supply the modeling context; the activity can be launched from CME (Config Model Editor).
Choose the policy to manage
Teams review discovered models, select the Features to manage, and develop the approved configuration intent. Discovering existing state supplies a starting point; the business determines which state should be maintained.
Connect the operating process
Network RPA can coordinate discovery and onboarding tasks. Native NetBox or ServiceNow CMDB integration can synchronize mapped inventory properties according to the configured ownership rules.
THE BUSINESS Value
Accelerate automation benefits.
Faster onboarding creates a usable foundation for standardization, upgrades, controls, and acquisition integration. Measure the coverage brought under management and the operational work it enables, rather than treating discovered device count alone as the business outcome.
