TrueState-SNA: Uma Solução Baseada em SSoT para Automação de Redes Heterogêneas

Abstract


A TrueState-SNA, baseada em uma arquitetura de camadas e software de código aberto, emerge como uma solução inovadora para o gerenciamento de redes heterogêneas, combinando flexibilidade e eficiência. Ao integrar Netbox, Net2d e Ansible, a solução centraliza a gestão de configurações em uma Single Source of Truth (SSoT), automatizando a transição de estados desejados para estados operacionais. As principais contribuições da TrueState-SNA incluem: uma arquitetura aberta e adaptável, suporte a múltiplos fabricantes e tecnologias, redução do risco de lock-in e a promoção de uma gestão de rede consistente e confiável.
