IP Fabric expands NetBox Integration to deliver continuous network validation for enterprise operations. New capabilities help enterprises align network intent with operational reality to reduce the risk of automations and configuration changes. May 13, 2026 09:04 ET | Source: IP Fabric BOSTON, May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - IP Fabric, the leading network digital twin platform, today announced expanded integration capabilities with NetBox. These capabilities compare the actual network state discovered by IP Fabric with the intended network state stored in NetBox. By highlighting the differences between the network's actual versus intended state, organizations gain the visibility essential for validating day-to-day changes, automating workflows and enforcing compliance controls. "Enterprises rely on multiple operational systems to manage and automate modern networks, but those systems can create value only when the actual and intended network states are aligned," said Pavel Bykov, co-founder and CEO of IP Fabric. "IP Fabric's enhanced NetBox integration provides customers with a continuously validated understanding of their network, which ensures that services are available and reduces the risk of projects like network automation and AIOps." Only IP Fabric continuously discovers all network devices, connections, and configurations from core to cloud to edge. Each time IP Fabric discovers the network, it runs a series of configuration checks against the network intent stored in NetBox. This feedback loop takes only a few minutes to run, and is a reliable way to find unauthorized devices, identify inventory and configuration drift, and validate that both manual and automated changes have had the intended effect on the network. As a result, enterprises can rest assured that the network remains resilient and secure as they expand automation and AI initiatives, as well as other large-scale digital transformation projects. Enterprise Benefits of IP Fabric's NetBox Integration Network teams are under increasing pressure to move faster without introducing risk. IP Fabric's enhanced NetBox integration introduces fast, enterprise-scale data syncs that help organizations to maintain a continuous feedback loop between network intent and network reality. This opens the door to: * Build AIOps workflows based on normalized, interoperable data. * Accelerate NetBox deployment and lifecycle management. * Validate manual and automated workflows. * Proactively identify configuration drift. * Prove continuous security and regulatory compliance.

IP Fabric MCP Server eliminates barriers to enterprise AIOps adoption. Purpose-built prompt library and secure deployment empower enterprises to operationalize AI in network environments Ip Fabric's Enterprise MCP Server BOSTON, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - IP Fabric, the leading network digital twin platform, today launched a new Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to eliminate barriers to enterprise AIOps adoption. As the first to combine secure, in-platform deployment with a ready-to-use prompt library, IP Fabric empowers organizations to safely and easily bring AI into network operations. While MCP servers and AI integrations are increasingly common, most fall short in enterprise environments where security, control and trusted data are non-negotiable. IP Fabric eliminates these barriers to enterprise AIOps adoption with a purpose-built solution that delivers a practical and governed path to operationalizing AI in network environments. Enabled directly from the IP Fabric appliance UI, the new MCP server securely delivers the full depth of IP Fabric's holistic understanding of the entire network and cloud estate - every device, connection and configuration - in a secure, governed manner to AIOps and other automation initiatives. Only IP Fabric's MCP server is opt-in by default, ensuring full control over data access, which is critical in highly regulated enterprise environments. Its pre-built and expert-tested prompt library provides a clear starting point for common use cases, helping teams apply AI easily and securely to real operational workflows. "Enterprises are racing toward network automation, only to question if they can trust AI to deliver an outcome that won't inadvertently damage digital business," said Pavel Bykov, CEO of IP Fabric. "We built our MCP server to solve that problem at enterprise scale. By combining secure deployment, governed access and a library of proven prompts, we give teams a safe and practical way to securely and successfully bring AI into network operations." IP Fabric Intelligence and Digital Twin Fuel Smarter and Safer AIOps IP Fabric's platform continuously discovers, models and validates network state against business intent. With the MCP server, that intelligence is accessible beyond those who already know where to look. New users and audiences, both technical and nontechnical, can query the network with natural language to generate insights and accelerate decision-making. With IP Fabric, enterprises can build a verified and vendor-neutral digital twin of the entire network estate in minutes. This can be used to run automated compliance checks, verify autonomous decisions made by AI, and simulate "what-if" scenarios before changes hit production infrastructure. IP Fabric's MCP server unlocks new AIOps use cases out of the box, including: * Compliance and configuration drift detection that continuously validates the network state against intended design, such as all major security (CIS, NIST, ISO 27001) and regulatory (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIS2, DORA) frameworks. * Automated troubleshooting and root cause analysis, enabling AI agents to rapidly identify where and why network behavior deviates from intent. * Strategic change planning and project acceleration, ranging from SD-WAN migrations and M&A integrations to cloud adoption, grounding high-risk transformation initiatives in verified network intelligence from day one.
