FAQ
Interested? Here are some additional details on how Avalon works and how we can collaborate.
Is Avalon a SaaS or an on-prem application? +
Avalon is an on-prem application. You will provide a virtual machine to install the application. This virtual machine can be hosted on your infrastructure or by a Cloud Service Provider. The minimum virtual machine specifications are: 2 vCPU, 4Go RAM, 40Go disk space.
Do you support industrial/OT network equipment? +
Yes, Avalon currently supports Hirschmann industrial network equipment, with more vendors coming soon. We can help you automate your OT infrastructure while respecting IT/OT segregation requirements.
What are the technical requirements? +
A virtual machine to host the application: 2 vCPU, 4Go RAM, 40Go disk space
This virtual machine needs to have access to our server to download the application images. We control the access to this server by filtering the HTTPS requests based on our customers’ IP addresses. There is no communication initiated by our server to your virtual machine.
A service account to connect to your devices. This account can have only read-only access to start the network discovery process and execute some day-to-day operations.
Access to your existing network tools. For instance if you use Netbox as your SoT, we will require the URL of your Netbox instance along with an API token.
Should I grant Avalon with read-write access to begin my journey? +
No, you can provide a read-only service account on your infrastructure to start the network discovery process and execute some day-to-day operations.
Do you support proprietary technologies? +
Yes, we support most common stacking technologies.
We do not support technologies that require a non-standard data model.
Do you operate worldwide? +
At the moment we can accommodate customers in Europe.
