IP Fabric

IP Fabric is a network assurance platform that builds a digital twin of an organization's network and cloud infrastructure through automated discovery. It uses read-only SSH access to discover and model the entire network estate, providing topology mapping, state analysis, and compliance verification across multi-vendor environments. Core capabilities: - Network Digital Twin: Automatically discovers and models the full network topology, including campus, data centers, WAN, and cloud environments, to provide a continuously updated representation of the actual infrastructure state. - Automated Discovery: Collects network and cloud data without requiring manual input, supporting a broad range of hardware vendors (Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Fortinet, HP, Huawei, F5, Checkpoint, and others) as well as cloud platforms (AWS, Azure). - Configuration & Policy Compliance: Checks network devices and configurations against defined policies and best practices, identifying deviations such as inconsistent firewall rules or missing network segmentation. - Path Analysis: Performs end-to-end path lookups across the network, which can be used to populate ITSM trouble tickets and support root cause analysis to reduce MTTR. - Change Validation: Provides pre- and post-change validation to confirm that network changes were applied as intended and did not introduce unintended effects. - Automation Support: Standardizes and normalizes network data to serve as a reliable data source for network automation workflows. - Audit & Compliance Evidence: Produces documentation and evidence of network state and governance for use in regulatory compliance audits. - Integrations: Offers an open API and pre-built integrations with tools such as Splunk, Grafana, and NetBox.
