Overcoming Network Migration Challenges with Forward Networks

Network migration is a critical undertaking for any organization looking to optimize their network performance, adopt new technologies, or achieve cost savings. However, this process poses numerous challenges that can lead to disruptions and unwarranted risks if not properly managed. One of the primary challenges of network migration is verifying that the network behaves and […]

One of the primary challenges of network migration is verifying that the network behaves and provides the same service and connectivity after the migration as it did before. Traditional methods of manual verification are time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient. NetOps teams test critical flows to ensure they were not disrupted, but without knowledge of every possible path a packet could traverse, it’s impossible to ensure that all connectivity remains unchanged. The tools provided by vendors to assist in migration cannot assess multi-vendor network behavior and identify deviations from expected norms.

This is where Forward Networks comes to the rescue. The network digital twin offers a holistic solution to prove network equivalency after network migration to ensure a seamless transition.

Forward Networks' digital twin is a game-changer when it comes to verifying network connectivity and security posture before and after a migration. To learn more about how the platform proves network equivalency, read the use case.
