SnapRoute Launches Industry's First Cloud Native Network Operating System (CN-NOS) to Accelerate Application Time to Service, Assure Compliance and Simplify Run-Time Operations

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SnapRoute today announced the availability of its innovative Cloud Native Network Operating System (CN-NOS). Built on a containerized, microservices architecture, SnapRoute's CN-NOS creates enhanced network agility, integrates networking natively into DevOps environments, and enables operational effectiveness to drive rapid, secure, and efficient application deployment and business performance.

To remain competitive in today's highly disruptive business climate, companies must continuously improve application delivery in order to provide more value to customers and remain relevant. Yet, according to Gartner, Inc.'s May 2018 "2018 Strategic Roadmap for Networking" research, "Traditional network offerings are not well-suited to fulfill enterprise expectations for rapid delivery of new services, more flexible business models, real-time response and massive scalability." Until now!

"SnapRoute's CN-NOS is the only network operating system (NOS) that gives companies the agility to rapidly deliver new services and applications in a reliable and secure manner as business dynamics evolve and change. This is achieved through groundbreaking architectural innovation that brings cloud native principles and methods to networking for the first time," said Dom Wilde, SnapRoute CEO.

All of today's network operating systems are built in a monolithic architectural style with a rigid codebase that prevents businesses from adapting to rapidly changing demands. The complexity of these legacy network operating systems creates brittle network environments that are prone to outages, and restrict collaboration between the teams that develop applications (DevOps) and the teams that operate networks (NetOps). This results in significant increases in application time to service and inhibits the ability of the organization to respond to changing business dynamics.

SnapRoute's cloud-native innovations resolve the inherent inflexibility of legacy monolithic network operating systems, enabling operational teams to align with and respond more quickly to business demands. SnapRoute's CN-NOS leverages a containerized, microservices architecture and embedded Kubernetes to transform the network from static and brittle to dynamic and agile, delivering the operational capabilities to:

• Add & upgrade features and fixes in real-time without downtime requirements, eliminating the need for scheduled maintenance windows
• Remove, not just disable, unused services to reduce security exposure and the threat surface of the network operating system
• Assure compliance at any time with the ability to surgically replace only vulnerable services in real-time
• Leverage native DevOps toolchains to automate and control network attributes that support the rapid roll out of applications
• Radically simplify the operational tasks needed for NetOps teams to support application roll outs

As a result, SnapRoute's CN-NOS enables businesses to:

• Accelerate application deployment by 10x
• Eliminate network maintenance windows and patch vulnerabilities
• Reduce security exposures and improve time to fix by 99 percent
• Ensure network compliance at all times
• Reduce administrator to platform ratio by 5x
