Network device inventory

Import configurations of routers, switches, firewalls & network attached storages to inventory

With the Versio.io network device importer you can inventory all relevant configurations about routers, switches, firewalls & network attached storages to ensuring auditability, security, hardening and compliance. The Versio.io network device importer supports products the following vendors:

Juniper Networks

Use scenarios with added value

Network device inventory can be used in the following scenarios to bring visibility, security and compliance to your IT landscape:

Inventory (CMDB) - Central and historized inventory over all network device configurations
Network plan - Detect and visualize the physical and logical structure of network device topologies
Change detection - Detect changes to network device configurations or network cabling
Change request execution monitoring - Live monitoring and auto documentation of network device change request
Recovery - Recovery a previous network device configuration
Analyzing & reporting - Analyse and report network device data
Release & patch management - Detect network devices with outdated software versions or software versions without maintenance and support
Vulnerability detection - Detect network devices with known security vulnerabilities
IT governance - Verify network device configurations with respect to antipattern (bad or error-prone configurations)

Deep insights into IT network

Based on a few selected use cases, you can already get a first impression with the help of screenshots:

Network device configuration

Versio.io continuously inventories all your network devices so that you always have the current configuration of the network device available in Versio.io.

We call it a digital twin - an image of reality. This makes it easier for you to access the configurations of the network devices and enables downstream processing in terms of correct change request execution, release & patch assessment, security assessment, IT governance compliance, etc..

Network device governance compliance

Based on the inventoried network device configurations, you can define and execute freely definable verifications in the form of rules to ensure compliance with internal and regulatory requirements.

The example shows an IT governance check whether the network devices used use the operating system version recommended by the manufacturer depending on the model.

Network device lifecycle & security assessment

Based on the operating system version of the network device, the up-to-dateness of the operating system version can be checked according to internal release and patch specifications and the presence of known security vulnerabilities for the version used can be detected. This assessment enables you to always keep your IT landscape up to date and secure. Automate the EOL and vulnerability detection and focus your activity on the decision depending on your company-specific situation.

Physical and logical network map

An important step in planning and optimizing a network is to have a network map that shows the physical and logical connections between the various network devices such as routers, switches, servers and end devices. Such a network map can be detect by Versio.io 100% automatically and visualize the detected relationships between all devices. By looking at the network map, one can better understand the topology, configuration, performance, and security of the network and identify potential problems or opportunities for improvement.

Juniper network device configuration

The illustration shows a section of the configuration of a Juniper network device as it was automatically inventoried by Versio.io. You have the full information about the configuration available as if you were looking at the network device itself. We call it a digital twin - an image of reality. This makes it easier for you to access network device configurations and enables subsequent processing.

Unlock the value of routers, switches, firewalls & network attached storages configurations

With the data imported from network devices, you can create added value for IT & business. The following use cases can be implemented with it:

Asset & configuration inventory

Versio.io offers a central asset & configuration inventory with automated full-stack detection for your infrastructure, application and organisation landscape. This digital twin enables more efficient DevSecOps and IT operations.

Change monitoring

With Versio.io change monitoring, you gain transparency over all changes and monitor the operational implementation of change requests to ensure the stability of business development in the face of growing complexity.

Governance policy compliance

The Versio.io IT governance solution supports companies to formalise compliance with internal and regulatory requirements and automate their monitoring. All breaches are mapped in the risk matrix depending on the protection requirement assessment.

Product lifecycle & vulnerability

With the product lifecycle & vulnerability solution, Versio.io supports customers in evaluating used hardware and software products with regard to their lifecycle and known security vulnerabilities on the basis of the detected version.

Service-level management

The provision of services for external customers or internal departments is a central task of an IT organization. Versio.io supports IT organizations in the automated management of IT services to increase the delivery quality and minimize the delivery costs.
