EfficientIP Network Object Manager (NOM) is a network repository tool that consolidates network object data into a single source of truth, enabling IT teams to model, visualize, and automate the management of their network infrastructure. NOM maintains a comprehensive inventory of physical and virtual network objects — including switches, routers, servers, PCs, printers, IP phones, IoT devices, VMs, and containers — along with associated metadata such as name, interface type, OS, Cloud ID, CPU, and RAM. The tool is designed to break down data silos by serving as an open, unified repository that can interconnect with existing IT repositories and databases. It integrates natively with EfficientIP's SOLIDserver platform and can be enriched with data from the EfficientIP Cloud Observer discovery tool. Key capabilities include: - Network topology design and visualization via a web-based interface - Lifecycle management of network objects (create, check, modify, delete) - Comparison of planned vs. actual network topology to identify discrepancies - Metadata-driven organization by class, naming conventions, and company policies - Open API access to feed network automation workflows for DevOps, NetSecOps, and CloudOps teams - Support for capacity planning and resource provisioning NOM is fully integrated into the SOLIDserver suite and exposes open APIs for connecting with external business and IT applications, supporting zero-touch network automation objectives.
