As part of our article series on future oriented network architecture in collaboration with Arista, we look here at how organisations can achieve better operational control in increasingly complex environments. When configuration, history and state are brought together and structured, the basis for decisions is strengthened and risk is reduced.
Modern networks consist of many components: data centre, campus, wireless, remote sites and external connections. Each part can work in isolation, but without an overall view, management loses control of the bigger picture.
Traditional operations often involve configuring directly on devices, documenting in separate systems and troubleshooting based on manually piecing information together. This increases complexity and makes it difficult to assess the consequences of changes.
Arista’s CloudVision brings configuration, state and change history together in a single platform. Instead of handling each component in isolation, the organisation gets a unified picture of the network’s actual state.
Technically, this means centralised configuration control and real time insight. Strategically, it means better management information.
When changes are planned and rolled out centrally, the risk of inconsistency is reduced. When history is available, relationships can be analysed more quickly. For management, this provides a better basis for decisions and more predictable operations.
Arista provides the platform. nLogic makes sure it is implemented in a way that strengthens existing governance models and processes. Together, we establish an operating model where overview and control are built into the infrastructure.
