Gluware 5.5 Accelerates Enterprise-Grade Network Automation with Expanded Multi-vendor and Open-Source Integrations
Platform Update Empowers NetDevOps and NetOps Teams with Seamless Multi-Vendor and Open-Source Integrations to Advance Network Automation at any Stage
SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Gluware, the leader in intelligent network automation, today announced the release of Gluware 5.5, delivering a significant expansion of multi-vendor support, deep integration with NetBox, new capabilities for the open-source SONiC operating system, and enhanced network RPA capabilities. Gluware 5.5 is specifically designed to meet enterprises where they are in their unique automation efforts, enabling them to seamlessly integrate their existing infrastructure and preferred tools to accelerate progress and build upon their current effort. This latest release strengthens Gluware's position as the industry's most comprehensive, enterprise-grade intent-based intelligent network automation platform.
"Network automation isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. Every team starts from a different point, with unique vendors, tools, and progress already made," said Ernest Lefner, Chief Product Officer at Gluware. "Gluware 5.5 is built to integrate with that reality. By expanding open source and network vendor hardware integrations, and enhancing the resilience and flexibility of automation workflows through Network RPA, we empower network teams and automation builders to seamlessly build upon their current efforts and dramatically accelerate their automation initiatives and outcomes."
Gluware 5.5 Delivers Revolutionary Network Automation Capabilities:
-- Native NetBox Integration: Gluware 5.5 introduces seamless integration
with NetBox, enabling dynamic synchronization of Gluware DIAL device
details and automated updates between Gluware and NetBox. This
integration allows organizations to maintain accurate source-of-truth
data with user-definable sync direction and comprehensive metadata
synchronization.
-- Robust SONiC OS Support: Meeting the growing demand for open-source
networking solutions, Gluware 5.5 adds comprehensive support for the
open-source Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) operating
system. This includes support for both Community and Dell Enterprise
editions within key Gluware capabilities such as Device Manager and
Config Drift and Audit. This integration allows enterprises adopting
SONiC-based platforms to seamlessly incorporate them into their
multi-vendor automation strategy with Gluware, enabling discovery,
inventory, state monitoring, and configuration compliance checks.
-- Expanded Multi-Vendor Support: Gluware 5.5 extends its vendor support
across multiple platform components:
-- Introduced Versa Director API integration for device discovery and
configuration management.
-- Enhanced Cisco Meraki support with expanded Ready-to-Use Solution
Items (RSIs) for content filtering, firewall policies, threat
protection, and WAN application services.
-- Advanced topology visualization capabilities with enhanced VLAN and
trunk detail display.
-- Added Config Backup and Restore support for Cisco NXOS Virtual
Device Context (VDC).
-- Enhanced Network RPA Capabilities: The platform now offers improved
workflow management with the ability to reorder tasks and clone/paste
functionality, alongside new capabilities for OS shell command execution
and configuration pushes without changing assigned assemblies or
features. Furthermore, Network RPA is more resilient, with the ability
to continue running workflows when there are device-level errors. Users
can use conditionals to create specific tasks for devices with success
or errors.
-- Improved User Experience: A new dialog for editing user settings
provides enhanced control over user preferences, including dashboard
themes, grid colors, and API credentials management.
-- Ubuntu OS: The migration to Ubuntu as the underlying operating system
ensures long-term stability and security through access to critical
patches and performance enhancements.
-- Enhanced Search Capabilities: Deeper search functionality in the Config
Model Editor enables more precise configuration management and improved
efficiency in handling complex network configurations.
