Gluware

Gluware is an enterprise network automation software provider that delivers policy-based orchestration and lifecycle management across multi-vendor, hybrid, and multi-cloud network environments.

• Policy-based network automation and orchestration for Wide Area Network (WAN), campus, data center, and cloud networks.
• Multi-vendor configuration management and drift detection across heterogeneous network infrastructure.
• Workflow-driven network change automation, including provisioning, upgrades, and compliance enforcement.
• Integration with public cloud networking constructs for hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity automation.
• Support for intent-based networking use cases, enabling centralized control over distributed network policies.

More About Gluware

Gluware focuses on enterprise-grade network automation software that centralizes control of complex, distributed network environments across on-premises (on-prem) and cloud infrastructure. Its platform targets organizations that operate multi-vendor networks, including routers, switches, firewalls, and cloud networking services, and seeks to automate configuration, change management, and compliance workflows at scale.

The company positions its offerings for use in large enterprises, service providers, and institutions that require policy consistency and operational control across wide-area networks, campus and branch networks, data centers, and public cloud environments. Gluware’s automation approach is intent- and policy-based, where network teams define the desired state of configurations and policies, and the platform orchestrates changes across supported devices and services in a controlled manner.

From an architectural perspective, Gluware operates as a centralized controller and orchestration layer (network automation / orchestration) that interfaces with network devices and cloud networking APIs. It works with common network protocols and configuration models used in enterprise infrastructure, such as CLI-based device management and, where applicable, API-driven and model-driven interfaces. The platform supports configuration versioning and drift detection, enabling teams to compare running configurations against a defined baseline and remediate inconsistencies.

In comparison to general-purpose IT automation or scripting frameworks, Gluware concentrates on network-specific workflows and abstractions. This includes capabilities such as multi-step workflows for upgrades and provisioning, policy application across device groups, and checks for configuration compliance with corporate or regulatory standards. The software is designed to operate across diverse vendor ecosystems, placing it in the network automation and orchestration category rather than in single-vendor controller tooling.

Within an enterprise technology directory, Gluware can be categorized under network automation and orchestration, network configuration and compliance management, and hybrid/multi-cloud networking control. Its platform is used by networking and infrastructure teams that need centralized automation for change control, reduced manual configuration, and consistent application of policies across on-prem and cloud network domains.
