[\/vc_column_text][toggles style=”minimal”][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ title=”What is Open Networking?”][vc_column_text]Open Networking is the approach to solve current and future network challenges in a more flexible and cost-effective way. Traditionally, network equipment suppliers have only offered closed systems (hardware and software from the same manufacturer). Open Networking describes the method of decoupling the hardware (e.g. switches) from their software (the network operating system).<\/p>\n
The main aim of Open Networking is to break the previously prevailing vendor lock-in, i.e. the lock-in to a single network equipment supplier, and to give companies the freedom to decide how to automate important network tasks.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ title=”How does racksnet\u00ae multi-vendor networking differ from conventional networking? What makes it different or even better?”][vc_column_text]Unlike conventional networking, where companies typically run their network infrastructure with one or maybe two vendors, multi-vendor networking allows you to easily manage devices from multiple vendors. This gives the customer the freedom to design the network and leads to a broad Open Networking approach. The racksnet\u00ae software is already capable of recording and processing the scripts of most professional providers.<\/p>\n
Unlike most conventional vendors, the multi-vendor solution of racksnet\u00ae does not require the configuration data entered at the CLI level and instead offers a uniform and modern graphical user interface for all use cases. This considerably reduces the risk of incorrect entries when using the multi-vendor networking solution from racksnet\u00ae, which in turn increases system stability and fast provision of urgently needed network resources.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ title=”Which vendors and devices are currently managed by the racksnet\u00ae software?”][vc_column_text]At the moment the software manages the network devices of all major vendors like DELL EMC, Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Huawei etc. A detailed overview of the manufacturers and device series can be found in the product data sheet, which you can also download here as a PDF. PDF downloaden<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ title=”Does the process of automation always have to run via a cloud?”][vc_column_text]Yes, because the racksnet\u00ae software is a typical “Software as a Service”, which you use either with a suitable browser (see list of suitable browsers) or in our app (we recommend using Google Chrome).<\/p>\n The processing of your network configurations that you have assigned by Drag & Drop into the App will then take place in the racksnet\u00ae Cloud. Only those text characters that perform a configuration command are transferred to the cloud. This in turn reduces the amount of data transferred to a minimum so that there are no noticeable latencies in operational work.<\/p>\n In addition, the cloud offers you the security of being able to carry out your network automation at any time and independent of your location or input device.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ title=”Can the racksnet\u00ae software also be used on-premise?”][vc_column_text]Yes, although this means the user loses the advantages of the cloud in terms of location independence, racksnet\u00ae offers an on-premise or hybrid solution.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ title=”What does SDN-Controller mean? What is this device used for?”][vc_column_text]Unlike conventional management consoles, the racksnet\u00ae solution does not require each device to communicate individually with the cloud. Our software is designed to allow your network devices to send all configuration data to a virtual controller (controller software), which then aggregates the data from all devices and forwards it to the cloud for processing. This not only saves time in implementation, but also increases the overview in your network infrastructure.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ title=”How secure are my company data?”][vc_column_text]Absolutely secure. Because we don’t see what kind of data you are passing through your network. We just help you make sure that your data gets to where it’s supposed to go. We do this by giving you the opportunity to configure your own hardware to meet your requirements without any in-depth specialist knowledge. No more, but also no less.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ title=”Are there any templates available in the software which I can use as a guide for automation?”][vc_column_text]We don’t want you to waste valuable time automating your network. That’s why we have packed typical application scenarios into numerous templates that you can use immediately or easily adapt to your needs if desired.<\/p>\n By the way, our software also offers you the possibility to import and use your own and practice-proven Playbooks.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ title=”Can I also manage or automate my current networks with the racksnet\u00ae software?”][vc_column_text]Yes, under certain conditions. E.g. that the devices within your network are listed in our device database, which is regularly updated.

During the development of the software we have paid special attention to make it intuitively easy to use for our customers.
