Why standardizing logic is hard — and necessary

‍

You’ve probably seen automation projects that started well, then turned into a pile of brittle, one-off scripts. Every new use case meant rewriting logic or duplicating tasks. The bigger the environment, the faster things spiraled.

‍

This usually happens because:

‍

• Business rules are buried inside scripts
• Network models aren’t abstracted
• Logic isn’t reused — it’s copy-pasted

‍

neops tackles this head-on with structured models and a dedicated logic layer. You define the entities relevant to your network — like sites, services, zones, tenants, device types — and neops builds an internal map of how these connect.

‍

Instead of writing new automation for every variation, you write it once — then apply it in context.

‍

Example: Adding a new branch location

‍

Traditionally, this might involve:

‍

• Creating VLANs
• Assigning IPs
• Deploying switches
• Updating firewalls
• Syncing to CMDB
• Documenting manually
• ‍

In neops, this becomes a reusable process template. The inputs change per site, but the logic stays the same. The business model ensures that the right rules, systems, and workflows are triggered based on the site profile.

‍

So if site A uses Cisco and site B uses Juniper — no problem. neops adapts. The core process doesn’t care about the vendor; it cares about the intent.

‍

What makes this work?

‍

• Entity-based modeling: You define what matters — buildings, racks, regions, services — and how they relate.
• Rule-aware logic: The logic layer enforces what’s allowed where. No need to hard-code that “Zone X can only use VLAN range Y” into every script.
• Reusable tasks: Core operations (e.g. reserve IP, deploy config, update CMDB) are modular and shared.
• No-code for context: You can change rules or extend models without rewriting the automation backend.
• ‍

This structure turns chaotic, hand-crafted logic into consistent, safe, and scalable automation.

‍

Built for reality — not theory

‍

We don’t assume you have a clean slate. Most of our customers run complex, inherited networks. M&A history. Layered compliance rules. “That one switch stack that always needs special handling.”

‍

That’s exactly what the neops logic layer is built for: giving you the tools to define logic once, reflect exceptions openly, and apply structure incrementally.

‍

You don’t need a network redesign to get started. You just need a way to formalize what you already know — and turn it into automation that doesn’t fall apart when reality hits.
