New Alliance partnership strengthens trend towards Open Network Automation
The racksnet GmbH from Eschborn and the FNT GmbH from Ellwangen, have now signed an alliance partnership agreement.
In this context, racksnet® has also developed an interface (API) to connect the racksnet® software to FNT’s network management solution. As a result racksnet® extends the existing FNT network documentation and management solution by the rapidly growing area of network automation. Customers can now perform zero touch deployments directly from the FNT Command software. By integrating racksnet® into the planning and workorder control of FNT Command, a perfect orchestration with the physical rollout up to the hardware level is possible in addition to the fully automated configuration loading.
Added value for customers
Both companies are convinced that the joint solution will offer customers enormous added value in terms of time and costs for configuration and management of manufacturer-independent IT networks.
With the automation solution from racksnet®, IT networks can now be analyzed and automatically configured (including IoT networks) independently of hardware manufacturers such as Cisco, HPE, Huawei or Cumulus (Linux) for the first time. Unique in the world is the fact that no scripting (CLI) is required for the configuration of complex infrastructures. All entries are made via a graphical user interface (GUI), drag & drop and numerous templates. Playbooks can also be easily and quickly integrated into the cloud based application of racksnet®.

The racksnet GmbH was founded in 2017 by two former Cisco and HPE managers who had set themselves the goal of making every IT network manageable and automatable even without manufacturer-specific programming languages or scripting. In the meantime, the company has made a name for itself in the industry as a creative and agile solution provider. racksnet® has just successfully concluded a strategically important partnership agreement with a leading provider of integrated software products for documentation and management of IT and telecommunication solutions as well as for data centers. racksnet® has its headquarter in the Tech-Cluster Eschborn, near to Frankfurt am Main.
