Delivering Multi-Vendor Network Management

Chandu Guntakala, Founder, President & CEO

Networking teams have invested in different hardware, but they chose a multi-vendor strategy. Managing equipment from multiple vendors across multiple domains is no easy task. The transition to hybrid multi-cloud will also create network management complexities. Hence, the demand for network management is at an all-time high.

This is where Anuta Networks steps in. Founded in 2010, the company is focused exclusively on multi-vendor network management and helping customers automate and accelerate network services. “We’ve deployed in large telcos, enterprises, MSPs, and Federal organizations. Our customers enjoy >90 percent OPEX reductions, accelerated deployments, and granular visibility and control,” says Chandu Guntakala, founder, president, and CEO of Anuta Networks.

Primarily, there are two components to network management – network automation that provision services, and network visibility, which monitors the health of the service and remediate any violations. Many vendors automate a niche use-case like SD-WAN, Data Center, Cloud, Core Networks, 5G network slicing, etc. But Anuta is the only automation platform that supports all the domains for all the vendors. Its architecture is based on cloud-native principles to deliver next-generation automation.

Anuta’s network automation solution, ATOM (Automation, Telemetry, Orchestration and Monitoring), delivers modular, extensible, scalable, and cloud-native software that helps companies design and provision network services rapidly. Networking teams can leverage real-time insights, ensure compliance, and maintain round-the-clock service assurance. Anuta offers low-code automation and service orchestration from one holistic platform with support for more than 45 vendors, including Cisco, Juniper, Nokia, Palo Alto, etc.

Anuta ATOM assimilates multiple technologies such as Zero-Touch Provisioning, FCAPS and Inventory, Software Upgrades, Bare-Metal Server and xNFLifecycle Management, low-code/no-code automation, service orchestration and assurance, compliance management, telemetry collection, network analytics and reporting, alert management, ITSM/IPAM integration and closed-loop remediation. Based on open standards such as BPMN, NETCONF/YANG, REST API, OpenAPI, Redfish, SNMP, and streaming telemetry, Anuta ATOM has the flexibility to support multi-vendor devices (45+ vendors, 150+ platforms) across multiple domains. Its cloud-native architecture enables massively scalable (up to 250K devices) multi-tenant deployments supporting high availability, geo-redundancy, and disaster recovery for physical, virtual, and hybrid multi-cloud environments.

Further, ATOM’s library of 350+ pre-built adapters accelerates time to value while minimizing the learning curve for operators. It also offers an SDK and free VOD training that empowers partners and customers to build their workflows and service models for advanced scenarios. As a result, customers can use Anuta ATOM to offer a highly differentiated network as a service and accelerate application deployment, thus increasing business agility. It also helps SPs save 100s of $millions of their overall OPEX by achieving more with fewer people and reduces errors and processing time by accelerating response and task completion time from weeks to minutes.

Anuta ATOM’s superior business agility allows the creation of on-demand network service with out-of-the-box multi-tenancy and RBAC features from UI to the resource level to offer efficient segregation for customers. It is containerized and can be deployed to manage small, medium, or large-scale networks in private, public, and hybrid cloud environments. Northbound, Anuta ATOM includes a comprehensive REST API integrated with cloud portals (OpenStack, VMware vRealize, ScienceLogic) and customers’ home-grown portals, billing, documentation, and ticketing systems. Similarly, it has a REST API for Southbound integration.

“We empower the network teams with strategies and solutions to integrate multiple vendors, provide visibility into their operations, troubleshoot outages, and ensure consistent performance,” says Guntakala. “Soon, we will build a community of developers to accelerate our customer and revenue base fueled by our SaaS offering.”

Anuta Networks Unveils E2E Service Management Domain Capabilities for TMF's NaaS Architecture

MILPITAS, CALIF: Anuta Networks, a leading provider of network automation and assurance solutions, has unveiled its new Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) architecture using an End-to-End (E2E) Service Management Domain supported with Tele Management Forum's (TMF) Open APIs. The new architecture simplifies deploying and managing cross-domain services by combining operational domains into a single, unified platform.

Managing and deploying a service typically involves interactions with multiple systems across various operational domains. This scheme makes seamless communication between systems difficult, requiring human intervention while slowing down business agility and time-to-revenue.

The TMF is a consortium of leading CSPs and ecosystem vendors that provide services, solutions, software, and hardware to CSPs. The primary objective of the forum is advancing and promoting the use of Open APIs to simplify inter-system communication and payload standardization. Anuta Networks leverages Open APIs to weave together cross-domain services by providing a centralized platform where the resources of all relevant operational domain controllers and network elements can be accessed.

Anuta’s ATOM platform is a leading service management solution that addresses critical gaps in the E2E Service Management Domain, as discussed in the TMFs Open Digital Architecture (ODA) specification. The ODA standard enables members to build highly complex but adaptable solutions using loosely coupled components that expose business functionality through standard APIs. ATOM's advanced orchestration and assurance capabilities, combined with TMF and the Operational Domain Managers (ODM), also create a comprehensive and dynamic Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) solution that enables networking agility and Innovation.

ATOM’s NaaS Architectural Elements:

● Compliance with TMF's ODA ensures reliable service management solutions that meet industry standards.

● Support for Open APIs enables CSPs to deliver faster, standardized, and higher-quality services that include:

• TMF 628 - Performance Management

• TMF 633 - Service Catalog Management

• TMF 638 - Service Inventory Management

• TMF 639 - Resource Inventory Management

• TMF 640 - Service Activation Management

• TMF 641 - Service Ordering Management

• TMF 642 - Alarm Management

• TMF 652 - Resource Ordering Management

• TMF 645 - Service Qualification Management

• TMF 653 - Service Test Management

• TMF 656 - Service Problem Management

● An Open API Gateway allows ATOM to facilitate requests from other systems.

● Support for TMF APIs facilitates seamless communication between different systems and applications, improving interoperability.

"We are thrilled to introduce our new NaaS architecture with E2E Service Management Domain and TMF API Gateway support," said Praveen Vengalam, VP of Engineering at Anuta Networks. "This latest addition in our integrated network lifecycle management portfolio provides organizations with an unprecedented ability to unlock a wider range of services and capabilities, all while maintaining a competitive edge in the market."

Anuta Networks' commitment to the ODA standard and the use of TM Forum's Open APIs ensures ATOM's interoperability with a broad range of vendor-specific tools and products, enabling CSPs to make their network truly automated at a massive scale. By utilizing the Active Assurance capabilities, ATOM's end-to-end service management upholds network compliance across multi-vendor environments and ensures the quality necessary to maintain SLAs intended to streamline service deployment and management for quicker time-to-market.
