Event-Driven Automation

Maintain a centralized repository of accurate, up-to-date information about the configuration and status of all devices, connections and services in your network.

Identify conflicts before you push a new configuration to a device. Verify whether the intended configuration has been applied on the device or rejected by it.

Let EDA ensure your network is always provisioned as intended. EDA continuously checks in-production devices against the desired state of the fabric to identify and implement the required change to the network.

Don’t be afraid to push changes to your network. EDA stores and versions all your configuration intent files in a Git repository. You will always be able to “go back in time” and roll back your network if needed.

Combine multiple configuration changes into a single fate-shared transaction. Avoid indeterministic network state by ‘undoing’ a configuration change if any of its required steps fail and retrieving the original configuration and state of the network.

Test and validate network changes in a fully integrated and emulated environment before you apply them to your production network. Verification will give you peace of mind before you make disruptive changes.

Monitor your data center fabric in real time and gain deep insights into its east–west and north–south traffic. EDA makes it happen with instant observability enabled by multidimensional on-change telemetry.

Focus on what you want to achieve through high-level declarative intents. Let EDA determine how best to implement the low-level detailed configurations.

Ask EDA anything in natural language as an interface to the platform. You can query functionalities, verify device and network states, troubleshoot issues, fetch configuration examples and much more. Our GenAI assistant makes your operations more intuitive and helps you get the most from EDA.

Let EDA take the pain out of managing the nuances of different supplier implementations. EDA hides the underlying configuration of the specific devices across multivendor environments.

Customize the user interface to your needs and preferences. You can change existing dashboards, drag and drop them, or create new ones to distill system state, or allow drill ins. You can also chart or visualize any query in real time––no programming skills required.

Turn device onboarding into a “plug in and power up” process. EDA provides topology discovery and a ZTP bootstrap process to bring new nodes online.

Move fast and iterate quickly with automation tasks available as applications that cater to your unique needs and environment. Those applications can be downloaded from the EDA application store.

Unify the management of your IT and network infrastructure. EDA integrates with cloud and workload management systems, enabling the fabric to react to workload and compute connectivity requirements from OpenShift, VMWare or OpenStack clusters in real time.

Grow your automation toolset. EDA is built on the Kubernetes automation platform and naturally inherits from its infrastructure-as-code principles and rich ecosystem of tools.

Streamline your trouble-ticketing and response processes for network incidents. EDA integrates with incident, inventory and workflow management systems to propagate events and manage network issues more efficiently and effectively.

Connect workloads seamlessly across your private data center fabric and various public clouds as if they all were hosted on the same data center. EDA offers simplified deployment and manageability of workload connectivity across multiple clouds.

Simplify event and fault management by taking advantage of EDA’s integration with event notification and collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams, Discord and WhatsApp.
