How Can I Trust the Network to Correctly Implement My Intent?

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

Your network has always been mission-critical. But now it’s experiencing an unprecedented level of demand. Network operators are facing massive challenges to maintain network integrity and visibility in light of the current global health crisis. More than ever before, your business depends on network availability and reliability.  

How can you ensure that your network stays strong and STAYS UP? Join us for an upcoming webinar to discuss best practices in network verification. Using a platform like Forward Enterprise enables network operators to reduce outages, drastically improve troubleshooting speed, and eliminate errors. 

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: 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 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.
