Glue Networks wants to be the orchestration platform for the networked world
Glue Networks used the Cisco Live conference in Las Vegas this week to announce what CEO Jeff Gray describes as the “first multi-vendor software defined network orchestration platform focused on end-to-end automation, all the way from the data center across the WAN as well as the LAN.”
While Software Defined Networking promised to simplify the management of network devices by centralizing control, Gray argues the SDN tools are still vendor specific: “Juniper has their controller, Cisco has theirs, Brocade, you name it. It’s hard enough to automate and build orchestration for a single vendor, but now customers have these different vendor islands and they need a consistent layer of automation across them to plug into their existing workflow systems, monitoring tools, ITSM workflows, IP addressing systems, etc. That’s the gap in the network world we’re solving.”
