Lab-Infrastructure Automation — CNTL

Composable Network Test Labs — your physical lab, delivered as a self-service cloud.

Why Lab-Automation Matters

Release cadences have shrunk from quarters to days, yet most labs still queue tickets and hand-patch cables. CNTL applies composable-infrastructure principles to testing: racks of routers, switches and servers are abstracted as on-demand resources, topologies are defined in code, and build/tear-down is triggered by API. Engineers simply select devices in a browser, click Build, and the platform wires, powers and secures the testbed automatically; teardown returns gear to the pool in seconds. The result is faster features, lower CapEx and happier teams.
