Prosimo introduced a new
NetDevOps Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) Toolkit that enables enterprises
to accelerate the deployment of cloud networking. Deployed by F500
companies and large enterprises, the Prosimo Full-Stack Cloud Transit
with the new IaC Toolkit provides complete orchestration of cloud
networking services required to connect, scale, and secure enterprise
applications with complete visibility across a multi-cloud
infrastructure, which reduces the network delivery lifecycle and adds
implicit zero-trust while delivering compelling autonomous networking
capabilities.
"According
to ESG's Distributed Cloud research, organizations are actively looking
to improve developer velocity. However, the majority of organizations
struggle to perform the appropriate infrastructure testing. With 89% of
respondents citing the use of two or more CSPs, it will be imperative
for IT operations to create an efficient, reliable, and repeatable
process in these complex environments. The Prosimo solution with its IaC
for full-stack multi-cloud networking enables organizations to
repeatedly and rapidly deploy services that adhere to IT governance,
reduce the CI/CD skills gap and drive greater operational efficiency,"
said Bob Laliberte, Principal Analyst, ESG.
In
today's world, enterprise networks have grown more extensive and
complex, combining the on-premises data center, cloud, edge, and
co-locations. Still, they continue to be the foundation upon which
applications and services run. However, enterprises face challenges with
day-0 automation, day-N operations, managing diverse applications,
shortening MTTR windows, managing cloud operations, and ultimately
increasing business agility. Overcoming these challenges is critical in
today's high-velocity application development world. As a result,
enterprises must adopt NetDevOps deployment models and take a modernized
pipeline-driven approach to simplify and adapt any network changes with
orchestration and automation to ensure a consistent and highly scalable
cloud adoption.
"Digital
and cloud forward enterprises are modernizing network operations
centers with a more proactive and unified approach tied to business
strategies. Cutting-edge companies are transforming NOCs from standalone
operations for networking in favor of a NetDevOps-centric approach with
a single integrated platform to optimize networking, performance,
security, and software distribution operations. Prosimo, with its IaC
for full-stack app-native multi-cloud network takes a holistic approach
that stabilizes the reliability of infrastructure, creates consistent
processes, shortens deployment windows and increases business agility,"
said Shamus McGillicuddy, Vice President of research, covering network
management, EMA.
The First Cloud Networking Solution for IaC NetDevOps with Autonomous Capabilities
The
new features in the DevNetOps toolkit provide core capabilities that
target cloud operations teams and orchestrate cloud service provider
(CSP) networking functionality while automating per-application routing,
security, performance, compliance, and cost management policies. The
single architecture simplifies and abstracts network and infrastructure
management tasks, giving enterprises the ability to reduce setup,
provisioning, and resolution times by more than 80% when compared to
traditional networking approaches:
- Infrastructure as a code for cloud networking -
Prosimo abstracts the API layer to CSP capabilities and networking
constructs: simply click and set up. It also automates and ties network,
micro-segmentation, policy control, and zero-trust into a deployment
CI/CD pipeline aligned with application roll-outs. In addition, Prosimo
provides repeatable pipelines to deploy and undeploy services quickly.
- Infrastructure aligned to applications lifecycle -
Onboarding new regions, clouds, and datacenters in greenfield and
brownfield environments through efficient infrastructure orchestration
using native constructs in multi-cloud, including the ability to connect
and secure cloud-native endpoints (e.g., S3), understanding A/B,
canary.
- Service networking -
Attach FQDNs, serverless, PaaS, and SaaS apps with enterprise workloads
running in any cloud. This leverages cloud-native service networking
techniques based on FQDN and layer 7 proxies, including network
constructs at the IP layer.
- Faster MTTR -
Prosimo offers unparalleled end-to-end enterprise infrastructure
observability for applications and networks across the entire path over
multicloud environments. ML-driven insights quickly identify a problem's
root cause and provide recommendations and automation to improve
connectivity or performance. Prosimo is the only platform to offer
programmatic query infrastructure across the full stack.
"As
Enterprises continue to embrace NetDevOps, the challenges are
significant when it comes to reducing the barriers between development
and operations," said Mani Ganesan, Head of Product, Prosimo. "The IAC
Toolkit helps simplify operations and management of applications' life
cycle. This improves business and IT alignment, accelerating business
velocity. In today's competitive landscape, this is critical for
organizations."
