This piece covers the recent appearance by Anuta Networks at February’s Networking Field Day. There, they displayed the networking automation power of their ATOM solution, which includes the ATOM Cloud product to help cover nearly all aspects of a network — even if most of it is distributed through the cloud. Read on to learn the takeaways from their presentation, and check out the presentation itself for a technical deep dive of the solution.

Network Field Day 18 – Some Preparation and Review
Greg Ferro does his homework for Networking Field Day 18, giving a brief explanation of his thoughts and the facts about each presenting sponsor. He also goes over what themes he think will be consistent talking points throughout the event, such as Multi-cloud, Kubernetes, and SDN.
Anuta NCX: An Orchestration Platform For Networks
Drew Conry-Murray shares his thoughts on Anuta’s NCX solution, which he saw first hand at Networking Field Day in January. NCX is an orchestration platform designed to simplify a lot of networking drudgery. To do this, high-level models are constructed with Yang, which are then translated into specific device instructions when called upon. It even does device discovery to automatically understand which versioning and configuration on network devices. Key to this, Anuta has a wide list of hardware and software partners NCX supports.
Anuta Networks NCX: Overcoming Skepticism
Chris Marget thought he knew how the networking world worked. Getting various network vendors to play nice with each other required more art than science while editing a text configuration file. It took years of painful experience to be able to do this well. Then Chris saw Anuta Networks present their multi-vendor NCX orchestration, and changed his tune. Anuta claims it can work well between a lengthy list of vendors. They do this by not trying to make all features available, but to focus on a core set that will be useful to network engineers. Chris definitely liked what he saw at Tech Field Day.
