Colony Networks provides a device agnostic cloud platform which unifies and processes multiple network information streams to simplify management and enable new kinds of managed connectivity services. Our orchestration engine enables scale by automating network management to create performant and secure networks by focusing on anomalous events and automating resulting policy decisions. The platform can be consumed through APIs, pre-packaged individual applications or a white label dashboard that integrates a number of applications into a single, common dashboard. Unlike traditional network vendors, we operate with fragmented devices at the edge, solving network problems from the outside in, rather than the inside out. We have access to operator level network metrics like Wi-Fi sessions, DNS logs, and performance probe data. We integrate disparate network vendors, allowing us to generate unique automated network policies based on multiple data streams and are horizontally scalable leveraging serverless and container infrastructure on the Google Compute Platform.
