Visualise, Optimise and Automate are powered by NetOS®
Visualise, Optimise and Automate are powered by Zeetta’s network virtualisation platform called NetOS that abstracts the complexity of the underlying physical network and represent it internally as a layout map of nodes and links known as a ‘operational topology’. This elegant, yet powerful, representation simplifies the monitoring and management of even the most complex networks because any network device -regardless of its complexity- can be represented as a node within the network topology.
What is NetOS®?
NetOS is a software defined networking (SDN) orchestrator based on the industry-standard OpenDaylight controller from the Linux Foundation®. The original open-source controller has been enhanced with patent-protected extensions to enable monitoring, control and management of heterogeneous networks containing LAN, WLAN and private LTE/5G devices. NetOS leverages SDN technology to provide IT teams full control of the network operations and allow them to construct services according to what the user wants, rather than how the network presents its capabilities.
Key Features
Offers a unique service model
A unique service model establishes the appropriate control over network infrastructure
Supports all major underlying physical access technologies
Works with all major underlying physical access technologies including LAN, WLAN, optical and private LTE/5G
Supports disaggregated and multi-vendor networks
Works with disaggregated, open networking solutions and across different hardware vendors
Provides key orchestration functions
Offers key orchestration functions to enable automated service provisioning for a greater network reliance and availability
Collects and records data from devices
Collects and records data from devices and services across the network to monitor performance and simplify Service Level Agreement (SLA) management
Topology Aggregation
Merges and reconciles topologies from different underlying physical or virtual sub-networks to create -in real-time- a single, unified, aggregate topology that represents the entire network domain.
