Anuta NCX is a network service orchestration platform that automates legacy physical, SDN as well as NFV infrastructure. NCX helps to automate policies across multi-vendor infrastructure so that you can deploy enterprise applications faster and reduce overall operating expenses. NCX uses yang models to communicate with multiple vendor devices using CLI, NETCONF, XML and API.

Anuta Networks NCX is a software solution designed to deliver complete network service orchestration for campus, branch, and data center networks by leveraging both physical and virtual devices across multi-vendor (http://www.anutanetworks.com/managed-devices/)network infrastructures. Network operations teams are expected to manage increasingly complex, heterogeneous environments while meeting enterpriseclass services levels for application delivery. NCX enables network administrators to scale rapidly and efficiently without adding headcount. With its model based approach to network automation, NCX enables you to do anything from automating simple, repetitive task to deploying largescale network services.

The NCX Controller is deployed in the data center and the NCX Remote Agents are geographically spread and deployed closer to the network infrastructure. The agent runs as a VM on a router compute blade or on an external host, or as a stand-alone application. The NCX controller has a REST API, allowing it to integrate with existing enterprise or MSP (Manager Service Provider) self-service portals. Also, NCX itself can be used as a self-service portal.

Features

• On-demand Network Virtualization for multivendor infrastructure across L2-L7
• Orchestration for physical and virtual versions of the Citrix ADC, formerly NetScaler ADC
• Intuitive Service Designer simplifies network service catalog creation
• Out of the box integration with Cloud OS such as Citrix CloudStack accelerates cloud deployments
• Per-Application logical and physical topology views simplifies troubleshooting

Benefits of integrating NCX with Citrix

• Service provider grade, multivendor orchestration platform built specifically for network operators.
• Rapidly design, automate and orchestrate complex network operations for both physical and virtual network devices.
• Lower operating expenses and faster time to delivery of network services, because of automated provisioning, default alerts, and a consolidation of tools and correlated information.
• Improved network availability and reliability with fewer trouble tickets, thanks to automated configuration management and comprehensive auditing.
• Quicker problem recognition and troubleshooting through improved visibility.
