This version delivers cutting-edge features that elevate the intelligence and efficiency of network operations, reflecting our unwavering commitment to redefining the possibilities in network management, orchestration, and support.

Key Features of ONES 3.1

Spectrum ™-X Observability:

Building on our existing support for Cumulus NOS, ONES 3.1 now extends compatibility to NVIDIA Spectrum™-X platforms running the latest NOS. This enhancement provides comprehensive visibility into Inventory, Environment, Firmware Versions, CPU/Memory Utilization, Transceivers, Interface Counters, LACP, BGP, RoCE Metrics including PFC, RoCE Traffic, and Queue Counters.

Additionally, ONES 3.1 brings enhanced NVIDIA GPU metrics for GPU-accelerated servers, offering a centralized dashboard that showcases the Top 10 GPU Utilization, allowing for real-time tracking and analysis of the most demanding GPU workloads.

Orchestration for Small Networks

ONES Fabric Manager introduces a simplified, intent-based orchestration experience through an intuitive GUI, enabling seamless fabric orchestration with just a few clicks. New capabilities such as Config Execution and Editor Window, Configuration Comparison, and Backups before upgrades or reboots enhance the efficiency, reliability, and manageability of data center fabric operations.

AI assistant: Conversational Troubleshooting (BETA)

ONES 3.1 introduces the AI Assistant, an intelligent conversational interface that enables users to interact effortlessly with network health and inventory data. It provides real-time insights, streamlines management, and responds to a wide range of queries, enhancing operational efficiency. Designed for on-premises deployment, the AI Assistant operates efficiently on a CPU, eliminating the need for a GPU or any tokens to process user queries.

IP Tracking & Alerting

ONES 3.1 introduces intelligent tracking of network device IP changes in real-time. A dedicated widget enables operators to monitor per-node IP changes and receive instant alerts in case of unexpected changes. Despite IP changes, telemetry streaming remains uninterrupted, ensuring continuous network monitoring without any impact on live status visibility.

Enhanced Support & Proactive Monitoring

ONES 3.1 brings a comprehensive set of default rule templates for critical metrics, ensuring instant anomaly detection and alerts with a simple one-click activation. This release expands monitoring capabilities with Docker CPU/Memory Utilization, Docker Down Status, and Unhealthy Device Detection. Additionally, users can now download a detailed summary of existing rules, enhancing visibility and control over network health.

Additional Enhancements

ONES 3.1 also introduces powerful new features, further strengthening its position as a leading network management solution:

1. Inbound/Outbound Traffic Comparison

2. VLAN Metrics Monitoring

3. Docker Status Transition Monitoring

4. Dashboard for Top CPU/Memory-Consuming Services

5. Transceiver Inventory Visualization

6. Unhealthy Device Notifications

7. Logical Grouping of MCLAG Interfaces in Topology

These enhancements make ONES smarter, more efficient, and even more indispensable for modern networking.
