挑战

Managing network devices is cumbersome and outdated, requiring IT professionals to log into each device via a command line interface (CLI) to make changes. This approach is analogous to outdated mainframe practices and is unnecessarily low-level and painful. The complexity of managing a network infrastructure without a dedicated team of networking engineers can lead to inflexible networks that struggle to keep up with the latest trends. IT professionals are expected to manage high-level requirements down to machine code, which is a challenging proposition. The fear of unknown repercussions makes IT professionals hesitant to make changes to the network.

解决方案

Auvik Networks developed a cloud-managed network automation platform using the Typesafe Reactive Platform to simplify network management. They chose Scala, a JVM language that supports the Actor model, to develop their network compiler and application. This decision allowed them to leverage existing libraries and create a scalable platform. Auvik's Network Programming Language (NPL) enables users to articulate requirements and create a domain-specific language (DSL) in native Scala. The platform uses Typesafe’s Akka for handling parallel operations and calculations, and the Play Framework for a cloud-based central User Interface. Auvik's solution allows IT professionals to manage, monitor, and configure their network environment through a virtual appliance that runs inside their network, communicating with cloud servers. This approach reduces the complexity of network management and allows for easy scalability.
