Maat as a Single Source of Truth

  • Redefine how you view and think of the network

  • Maat helps you accurately design and describe network resources and services.

  • Build trust in your Single Source of Truth.

Why do you need a Single Source of Truth?

Your network single source of truth should provide you with a complete, detailed view of all of your network assets including hardware, software, configuration details, connections, relationships and other relevant information.

Not paying enough attention to your inventory information can lead to many problems such as:

  • Being unable to correctly plan network changes
  • Running into difficulties and issues when trying to implement maintenance operations
  • Having trouble understanding the impact of faults on resources and/or services
  • Using a partial view of the network due lack of information when using a vendor specific solution

Most importantly, maintaining a Single Source of Truth is essential for implementing automation and orchestration!

A Single Source of Truth enables you to Automate and Orchestrate with Intent

 The Single Source of Truth should be used to define the desired/expected state of the network and expects the live infrastructure to follow it.

The information regarding resources and services that is stored in the Single Source of Truth should declare how you want your network to look like. When using automation and orchestration, the Single Source of Truth provides declarative information on what should be the current state of the network. If the network does not reflect the information in the Single Source of Truth then chosen workflows need to be activated to remedy the situation and ensure that all network resources and services are as prescribed by the Single Source of Truth.
