Gluware's Strategic Alliance with Cuadrilla Capital

In a move set to reshape the network automation landscape, Gluware, a frontrunner in intelligent network automation solutions, has announced its acquisition by Cuadrilla Capital. This investment solidifies Gluware's position to penetrate the Global 2000 market—delivering high-efficiency solutions for complex enterprise network challenges.

The collaboration comes at a pivotal time when intelligent automation is becoming increasingly essential for business success. The rapid influx of IT, OT, and IoT devices has placed significant demands on existing network infrastructures. By aligning with Cuadrilla Capital, Gluware voices its commitment to accelerating network transformations and addressing these evolving demands.

Jeff Gray, CEO and Co-Founder of Gluware, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "The Cuadrilla team has been a dream to work with. They have a clear vision for the market and recognize the crucial role of Gluware's technology in achieving that vision. Since our inception, we've been progressing towards this goal, and now we're prepared to revolutionize enterprise networks."

Cuadrilla Capital's co-founders, Jonah Sulak and Vikram Abraham, also spoke highly of Gluware's capabilities, recognizing the firm’s groundbreaking technology and stellar team in the network automation sector. "As we've come to understand Gluware, it has become evident that they are uniquely equipped to transform network operations. Our investment will aid in expanding their global reach while bolstering customer-focused initiatives," they stated.

One of the key drivers for this investment is the increasing necessity for automation in IT and OT networks, where businesses are seeking to improve efficiency and responsiveness to emerging challenges. Nicole Banks, Principal at Cuadrilla, highlighted the peaks in network automation, emphasizing that it has transformed into the standard for optimal network management. She added, "Gluware's unrivaled technology directly targets the most pressing issues in IT across various sectors, and we believe it will lay the groundwork for future growth."

Amid this transformative phase, Gluware promises ongoing excellence in product quality and introduces advanced features to tackle network automation hurdles. The company offers a comprehensive platform designed for multi-vendor support with automatic remediation functionalities. Additionally, they provide a unifying developer platform for clients wanting more custom capabilities. At the heart of these solutions is Gluware's DIAL (Device Interaction and Automation Layer), which facilitates hands-off management, complete remediation processes, and real-time compliance audits for configurations and security policies.

Future developments are also on the horizon, as the company’s roadmap will include regular upgrades to the Gluware platform, catering to both those looking for pre-designed solutions and developers eager for a comprehensive platform experience. This includes public releases of innovative Co-Pilots powered by GenAI for Network Operators and advancements in self-operating network features.

Forecasts reveal that by 2026, Gartner anticipates that 30% of enterprises will automate over half of their network activities—an impressive leap from under 10% in mid-2023. This transition is driven by escalating needs for enhanced network security, quality of service, and management of intricate digital infrastructures.

Gluware’s advanced, intent-based intelligent network automation platform has already delivered stunning metrics for its global clientele, showcasing a 95% reduction in network outages and 100% compliance with security policies, alongside significantly faster patching processes. Gluware's solutions allow enterprises to implement self-operating capabilities in just three months, with a promised return on investment observable within a year.
