Topology

Modern networks are increasingly becoming decentralized to solve today’s complex business use cases. Be it Service Providers deploying a new 5G service or a large enterprise building their core network to host applications to cater to all kinds of data; they will need the following-

  • Support for an increasing number of devices (physical and virtual), spread across data centers and regions worldwide.
  • These devices are from multiple vendors and are not always on the same platforms in the case of a single vendor.

 

A network topology plan, which provides an oversight of all the devices and insights such as performance metrics and alerts, will empower Network Administrator to manage large and complex networks efficiently.

Network topology is an overview of your network. Topology diagrams and dashboards allow you to see all your networked devices on one single screen.

Solution Brief

Topology shows how different elements of the network are connected along with the performance of each link

Benefits of ATOM's Topology

ATOM uses the industry-standard CDP/LLDP protocols to build the topology view as per the device groupings. The topology built is not only limited to physical devices, but you can also see all virtual devices on a canvas, along with the layered connections between them.

Easy Data Access

Using the ATOM L2 topology view, you can navigate to any device in the network to gather performance and fault data such as CPU, disk, Memory related metrics at the click of a button.

Visualize the Network

The topology view can show the physical and logical connections between each device in your network and the geo-spatial view of the devices from a single pane of glass.

Accelerate Troubleshooting

Want to see which devices are not responding or where the CPU utilization is most in the network? You can gather these metrics from the topology view to simplify network troubleshooting tasks.

Cost Reduction

One of the essential benefits of the topology view is cost-effectiveness. A clear roadmap can help you find network operations that aren’t efficient enough. You may be able to remove some elements from the cycle altogether, thus reducing your overall OpEx. A more efficient network means a more productive workforce and less time spent planning.

What's unique to ATOM's Topology

Alert visualization

Visualize all the active alerts on your devices or a group of devices using the ATOM topology view. You can also pin the alerts on the world map to better understand the services and devices getting impacted in different clock zones.

Hierarchical Topology

ATOM topology architecture supports the creation of parent groups that can contain multiple child groups. Users can easily visualize the connections between various devices and device groups such as edge, core, and aggregate devices in a multi-layered network environment using the group hierarchy.

Color Coding and Link status

ATOM topology view automatically changes the color coding for devices as per their reachability. This is done using the tests from ATOM like schedule inventory runs to the device or when a SNMP trap is received. In addition, links between devices will also change the color pattern as per the status.

Sensor Data

Click on any device on the topology diagram to subscribe to sensor data such as CPU average for the last 15 mins, memory stats, etc. This will ease the task of running daily data gathering commands to check device health.

Layout Design

Quickly search and save layouts that you refer to frequently with the ATOM topology view. This simplifies the task of adding repeated filters when going back to topology views.

FAQs

This is done using an SNMP trap. ATOM can subscribe to device SNMP data to build the device topology views and show the metrics such as CPU, disk, and memory utilization.
Yes, you can either add new connections manually or else provide a CSV file as input to add new device connections. This will involve entering Source and destination IP addresses of the end devices.
As of now, ATOM can show the Layer2 topology only. We are building early adoption models, and subsequent releases should add services to the topology.
ATOM topology view is vendor-agnostic, which means you can build the topology views for all your devices and platforms supported by ATOM.
