Itential, an interesting Atlanta—based startup focused on network automation, today announced a new set of tools called Pre-Built Transformations designed to help service providers and enterprises automate their networking systems.
The Transformations make heavy use of JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), which can be used to take standard data models and Applications Programming Interfaces (APIs) and program orchestration and connectivity of devices and systems by using a flexible data schema. The program is designed to help speed up the integration and automation of multi-domain networks by mapping out data model and API paths for automation.
Why is this important? Service providers have been challenged to keep up with cloud-scale development, in part because large swaths of their infrastructure is attached to legacy hardware and software systems, each with their own management systems and computer engineer salary. Itential’s approach is to provide an abstracted, software bridge between legacy systems and modern Web-based management, which is more focused on data models and APIs to build integration.
