In this five minute audio encapsulation of what’s interesting to the Packet Pushers from the world of networking vendors, Ethan Banks summarizes a shiny new Gluware. Vaguely remember Glue Networks as this company specializing in automation of Cisco IWAN environments? Time has marched on, and Glue Networks has re-branded to Gluware.

Sure, Gluware can still whip a gnarly IWAN deployment into shape, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Gluware can automate your entire network if you like, or just certain parts of it depending on your needs. And they support 16 different network operating systems, so it’s not just a Cisco game they’re playing.

To us, Gluware looks like automation for your brownfield network that you’ll be able to adapt your existing operational processes to. Worth some proof of concept testing if you’re looking for automation that isn’t just Python and hope.
