Intent Based Networking (IBN)
Intent Based Networking (IBN) is the abstraction of network management specifics into a common management plane operated based on the users’ intent, not their CLI skills. IBN doesn’t try to invent new protocols, or replace the highly effective, distributed control plane inherent in our current routing protocols. Instead, IBN provides a single, declarative management plane.
One interface to manage an entire network – no matter the scope or scale. And critically, this management plane is not only protocol agnostic (you can route however you wish), it is also device agnostic – meaning that IBNs can be heterogeneous networks made up of various makes and models of network devices and functions.
The FullCtl team are experts at building and integrating the needed tools to turn your network into a modern, intent based network.
NetDevOps
NetDevOps is a methodology that applies DevOps practices, including infrastructure as code (IaC), constant improvement / constand development (CI/CD), and software development life cycles (SDLC) to networking. It’s how you build and operate an IBN.
In addition to a great team of smart people, a successful NetDevOps practice requires:
- Centralized (off-device) Source(s) of Truth (“golden configs” and all specific data)
- Configuration & Validation Engine (device/function state management)
- Operational Toolkit (monitoring, reporting, & troubleshooting)
The FullCtl team are experts at providing the needed tools and training to enable and empower your own NetDevOps practice.
Applied Interconnection
Networking has been undergoing a sea change over the past decade or so as we've moved from ownership to access. At one point, corporate networks were completely owned and operated by the IT department and contained within an enterprise's physical footprint. Then they extended out to Telco provided MPLS networks and data center colocation facilities.
Now, most data communication actually happens on networks the organization has no ownership over whatsoever. This stretches from a remote worker's ISP connection, to an SD-WAN, SDP, or SASE provider, and on to multiple SaaS platforms and public cloud providers - to name just a few.
FullCtl helps infrastructure IT teams make this shift, from "just" network management to full blown interconnection management in order to stitch all of these disparate networks together into an enterprise-wide communications platform. And, of course, we do it using NetDevOps principles, an IBN approach, and heavy application of modern automation best practices.
Peering-as-a-Service
Some organizations need more than great software tools and operational advice. In some cases it’s better to just have an expert take care of it. That’s often true for peering and interconnection management. And it’s why FullCtl offers a fully managed peering service.
We start by analyzing your traffic patterns, looking for opportunities to save money, reduce risk, or increase resilience across your network. Then we leverage our combined decades of experience to handle both the technical and the human aspects of delivering on those opportunities.
FullCtl will identify and negotiate the peering relationships needed to meet your business objectives, as well as deploying and configuring the needed infrastructure to support them.
Unleash the Power of Control
FullCtl removes all of the complexity and complication of manually configuring BGP, RPKI, IRR, traffic filtering, and traffic engineering by applying the principles of NetDevOps, intent based networking (IBN), and infrastructure as code (IaC) through a set of modern, microservices based network automation systems.
