Digital Twins: The End of Network Outages?

Network outages, frequently stemming from configuration errors during crucial updates, may soon be a relic of the past. Forward, a company championing autonomous networking, is developing a solution that creates a mathematically accurate digital twin of any production network.

This innovative approach provides a risk-free environment for testing changes. By simulating proposed modifications on the digital twin, companies can observe unintended impacts and ensure stability before deploying them to the live environment. This technology aims to prevent all network outages caused by configuration errors.

The digital twin is continuously synchronized with the live network, ensuring its accuracy. This allows for rigorous testing, including routing validation, path analysis, and compliance checks. Forward's solution brings the discipline of software development's continuous integration to networking, offering deterministic outcomes and reducing deployment anxiety.
