Whitepaper: Why Network Verification Requires a Mathematical Model
Learn how verification can be used in key IT processes and workflows, why a mathematical model is required and how it works; as well as example use cases from the Forward Enterprise platform.

ESG Infographic: Verify Network Behavior with Forward Enterprise
With Forward Enterprise, ESG validated that organizations can learn physical and virtual device configurations automatically, collect current state information on those devices, identify the impact of network issues on end-to-end network behavior, and assess the potential unintended side effects of solving those issues.

Presentation and Demo from ONUG Fall 2018 in New York City
Co-Founder Nikhil Handigol presents on the integration of network verification with SDN automation projects in this 10-minute video.

Use Case Demonstration - Using path-based analysis to troubleshoot network issues.
Learn how to accelerate and de-risk network operations by viewing network policies and path behavior end-to-end.

Use Case Demonstration - Accelerate change windows.
Learn how to accelerate change windows by pre-verifying proposed changes against defined network policies. Reduce the time required for peer reviews, analyzing impacts across applications, and detailed lab testing.

Use Case Demonstration - Verify basic network configurations.
Learn how to automatically verify correct configurations of basic network setting such as MTU consistency, forwarding loops and VLANs network-wide to increase network availability in a fraction of the time.

Investors talk about Forward Networks
Backed by Andreessen Horowitz, DFJ, A.Capital, Forward Networks delivers a mathematically accurate network copy to simplify network operations and provide network assurance. Bill Krause, Board Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, Martin Casado, GP at Andreessen Horowitz, Andreas Stavropoulos, Partner at DFJ and David Erickson, Forward Networks CEO, outline their view on the market space, company and strategy
Network Verification: Are Error-free Networks Really Achievable?
Did you know that it’s now possible to analyze your network end-to-end to quickly and proactively detect any network configuration errors across thousands of devices and millions of lines of code? Forward Networks Co-Founder Nikhil Handigol will show how our new verification technology can certify network updates before pushing them live to avoid outages and ensure 100% compliance.
Automation + Verification: Forward Networks and Cisco NSO Demo
Automation + Verification: Learn why automating network processes is only part of the battle. Organizations need a network verification platform to check manual and orchestration-driven network updates in large agile environments to reduce the possibility of outages and configuration errors. Forward Networks verification platform is an ideal complement to Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO, originally Tail-f) as we show how orchestration changes can be verified for policy compliance in real-time as changes are pushed out.
Intent-based Networking. Is it real? Are you ready?
Intent-based networking is generating interest as a next-generation method for automating network changes and validating network policies. What’s really feasible today, what benefits does it offer and where can it be deployed? We will show how it can be used to verify network designs and configurations in a fraction of the time. And it’s easily deployed today.
