Netbox Labs partners with NVIDIA and Grafana Labs, announces new additions to the NetBox Infrastructure Intelligence Platform to Assemble the Intelligence Layer for AI Datacenter and Enterprise Infrastructure Buildouts. NetBox, already used by more than 90% of top neoclouds, and companies including Arm, J.P. Morgan Chase and CoreWeave, becomes native to NVIDIA DSX OS and the Grafana catalog, and adds new ways for people and AI agents to design and run the world's most complex infrastructure environments. CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Oct. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Kennedy Space Center - NetBox Labs, the company behind NetBox, the system of record for networks and datacenters, today announced partnerships with NVIDIA and Grafana Labs, along with a host of new platform capabilities, at the first ever NetBox Evolve conference. Together, these announcements extend NetBox's position as the central intelligence layer for the world's technology infrastructure. * NVIDIA now integrates with NetBox as a native source of truth for NVIDIA Configuration Manager (NVCM), the network orchestration component of NVIDIA DSX OS. As the AI infrastructure buildout accelerates, this partnership puts NetBox at the center of how AI infrastructure is designed, provisioned, and operated. * Grafana Labs and NetBox Labs have released an official NetBox plugin in the Grafana catalog. It brings live infrastructure context into Grafana dashboards and alerts, enabling network and datacenter teams to attach meaning to their data. * NetBox Labs Infrastructure Intelligence Platform has expanded with new products and features. NetBox Designs joins NetBox Visual Explorer and NetBox Asset Lifecycle to accelerate the design and planning, procurement, and management of datacenter and network buildouts. In addition, new agents and AI operations capabilities help every team automate their infrastructure atop NetBox's vendor-neutral context. Finally, a variety of new integrations and new dashboards for NetBox Analytics help teams bring more data into NetBox, and quickly understand their infrastructure. "Whether teams are building enterprise networks and infrastructure in retail, healthcare, financial services, or deploying an AI datacenter at massive speed and scale, configuration, observability and automation all depend on having an authoritative record of what infrastructure should exist and how it should be operating. That record is NetBox," said NetBox Labs CEO and cofounder Kris Beevers. "Today NetBox is used by companies like Arm, CoreWeave, Kaiser Permanente and J.P. Morgan Chase to build, run and grow their networks and infrastructure. We're seeing tremendous growth, with more than 90% of the top neoclouds using NetBox to design and scale their AI datacenters and we expect NetBox to power more than 100 GW of AI datacenter capacity by 2030." NetBox becomes native to NVIDIA DSX OS NVIDIA has partnered with NetBox Labs to make NetBox a native source of truth for NVCM, so network configuration in DSX OS comes straight from the system of record that AI infrastructure teams already use. This puts NetBox at the center of the design, provisioning and operation of today's large-scale AI deployments. NetBox provides the central data driving automation of configuration across NVIDIA-native cluster fabrics. NetBox context in every Grafana Labs dashboard Infrastructure produces more telemetry than ever. But telemetry only shows what infrastructure is doing, not what it is: which device an interface belongs to, which site it's in, what role it plays, who owns it, and whether it should exist at all. Today, teams fill that gap by hand, with brittle scripts or guesswork. Now, with the partnership between NetBox Labs and Grafana Labs, NetBox records what infrastructure is supposed to be, and Grafana shows what it's actually doing. The free, open source NetBox plugin, built with Grafana Labs and published in the Grafana catalog, carries live NetBox context (site, role, tenant, rack, owner, lifecycle) into Grafana dashboards and alerts. It requires no pipeline changes, avoids stale labels and adds no metric cost. Separately, NetBox Labs' open source Orb platform now gives Grafana Cloud users a new source of network flow and packet telemetry. "Network and infrastructure observability are popular use cases we see across the Grafana community, and context is what separates a wall of metrics from answers and action," said Ash Mazhari, VP of Corporate Development, Grafana Labs. "NetBox is the system of record teams already trust. With the NetBox data source in our catalog and Orb delivering network telemetry into Grafana Cloud, our users get a deeper understanding of their infrastructure and network data." New NetBox Labs Platform capabilities for people and AI agents In addition to the partnerships, NetBox Labs also announced several new additions to the NetBox Labs Infrastructure Intelligence platform. * NetBox Designs, now in public preview, delivers reusable templates for rapid infrastructure design. Teams define a site, rack or IP plan once, then can rinse and repeat for large scale deployments. NetBox Asset Lifecycle then carries the planned objects through bill of materials, purchase order, shipment and installation. * NetBox Analytics adds a number of new ready-made dashboards this week to help teams understand their complex infrastructure environments, and will be generally available next month alongside NetBox Visual Explorer, which enables teams to rapidly view and navigate large-scale datacenter and network footprints. * Integrations between the NetBox Labs platform and the surrounding ecosystem continue to multiply. Arista CloudVision, AWS VPC IPAM, and Cisco Nexus Dashboard integrations become generally available this month, and new integrations with Palo Alto Panorama, Tenable, and Kubernetes enter public preview later in October. * Agentic operations depend on NetBox as the vendor-neutral context layer for AI agents. Per Gartner(R) forecast, by 2030, 50% of organizations will use agentic NetOps with minimal human involvement, up from nearly 0% in 2026. (Source: Gartner, 2026 Strategic Roadmap for Agentic AI in Infrastructure and IT Operations, Tim Zimmerman, Mike Leibovitz, Andrew Lerner, Jonathan Forest, Karen Brown, 5 June 2026) * NetBox Agents gains new pre-built agents for change request review, lifecycle and version compliance, data quality management, and data import that lower barriers for teams to accelerate agentic automation. Now available in public preview. * The fully managed, now generally available NetBox Platform MCP Server lets teams bring infrastructure context to their own agents, which can query and change infrastructure across the whole platform in plain language with nothing to host. "Only NetBox Labs provides a comprehensive infrastructure intelligence platform that spans every stage of the infrastructure lifecycle, with vendor neutrality, clear agent guardrails, and the trust of the world's most demanding environments," said CEO and cofounder Kris Beevers. "Today's NetBox Labs product and NVIDIA and Grafana Labs partner announcements enable teams at any point in their infrastructure modernization journey to work with confidence knowing they are backed by the world's most powerful infrastructure intelligence platform. We're very excited about what these partnerships and product announcements mean for our customers and business."

I have the pleasure of delivering the day's keynote and unveiling both the latest capabilities NetBox Labs, Inc. is bringing to market in its platform and exciting new partnerships with technology industry leaders NVIDIA and Grafana Labs. Announced in June, the NetBox Labs infrastructure intelligence platform extends the most popular system of record with the systems of insight, action, and control modern infrastructure teams need. It takes the fragmented systems running enterprise infrastructure and turns them into a single, governed foundation for humans and agents. The announcements NetBox Labs, Inc. is making today enhance its infrastructure intelligence platform with new capabilities that extend NetBox's position as the central intelligence layer for the world's technology infrastructure. Read on to learn more about the exciting news being announced at today's show. And if you couldn't make it, don't worry - NetBox Labs, Inc. will have recordings of all NetBox Evolve sessions available following the event. Model what you run and what you plan. NetBox Designs enters public preview today on the SaaS edition of the NetBox Labs platform. Create a new site, rack, POP or even retail store footprint in NetBox from a reviewed design, so each build matches the standard, and an on-demand drift check shows where a site no longer matches its design. It will also pre-populate a bill of materials in NetBox Asset Lifecycle, so the team can order hardware straight from the design instead of retyping the parts list. <Read the NetBox Designs post.> Six new integrations automatically sync data from the cloud, security, and container tools teams already run into NetBox, so engineers can stop maintaining vendor data by hand. NetBox now pulls managed switches from Arista CloudVision and Cisco Nexus Dashboard, cloud address space from AWS VPC IPAM, firewalls and virtual systems from Palo Alto Panorama, and clusters, nodes, pod and service address space from Kubernetes. It also maps Tenable vulnerability findings to assets NetBox already tracks. The Cloudvision, Nexus Dashboard, and AWS VPC IPAM integrations GA soon, with Panorama, Tenable, and Kubernetes integrations moving to public preview. All of these integrations run through NetBox Assurance, so incoming changes can be held for approval before they reach the system of record. NetBox Visual Explorer GA is coming next month. Its' visualizations incorporate context directly from the NetBox Labs platform system of record, from a WAN map to a rack's power chain, and show single points of failure and capacity pressure, so teams can fix risks in place instead of hunting through tables. Any rack, device, or prefix in a view links to its NetBox record. See answers where teams already look. Today, NetBox Labs, Inc. is also announcing that teams have access to enhanced network and datacenter infrastructure observability through the free, open source NetBox data source plugin, now generally available in the Grafana plugin catalog. It brings authoritative infrastructure context to Grafana dashboards and alerts. NetBox Labs' open source Orb telemetry platform is also available today, giving Grafana Cloud users a modern source for network flow and packet telemetry. NetBox Analytics, available on the SaaS edition, answers capacity, lifecycle, and risk questions from the record with pre-built dashboards, without CSV exports or scripts. GA is coming next month, with new dashboards that answer more of those questions out of the box. You can try it in public preview now. Act on intent with your agents or ours. The NetBox Labs Platform MCP Server, GA on the SaaS edition today, puts the AI tools teams already use to work on real infrastructure data.The Platform MCP service is hosted by NetBox Labs, and available for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any Model Context Protocol (MCP) client or agent. It provides read access to the data in the NetBox Labs platform. Where write access is enabled, it can also update that data following the permissions your team sets. NetBox Labs, Inc. is also announcing three new pre-built NetBox Agents in public preview today on the SaaS edition. The Data Quality Steward, Change Review Agent, and Lifecycle & Version Compliance Agent take more routine work off a team's plate, alongside the existing Reporting, IPAM, and Troubleshooting agents. The same guardrails for people and agents. NetBox Designs, Platform MCP, and NetBox Agents run on the governance already built into the NetBox Labs Infrastructure Intelligence Platform. AI clients and NetBox Agents work within the NetBox permissions a team already manages, so security can approve them on rules it already trusts. For NetBox Agents, your team sets each type of action to Always allow, Needs approval, or Blocked. Where NetBox Branching is enabled, teams can stage changes from designs, AI clients, and agents for review before they merge, and audit them afterward through the same change management as any other edit. What's next? As you've read, NetBox Labs has added even more capabilities to the NetBox Labs platform so that teams have the intelligence they need to build and run complex infrastructure more easily, securely, and efficiently.

Act on intent with your agents or ours: Platform MCP is now generally available. 13th Oct 2026 Kris Beevers Be the first to hear news and subscribe here. AI agents are ready to take on real infrastructure work, from building out a new site to keeping the system of record accurate. What holds most teams back is trust. An agent that can change that record needs the same guardrails as the engineers who work in it, and without them, security won't sign off and pilots never reach production data. The NetBox Labs Platform MCP Server gives agents those guardrails, and it is generally available today on the SaaS edition of the NetBox Labs platform. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other Model Context Protocol (MCP) clients can use it to read your system of record and, where write access is enabled, update it under the permissions your team already sets. NetBox Labs hosts the MCP server, so there is nothing to install or operate. NetBox Labs, Inc. is also announcing three new pre-built NetBox Agents in public preview: the Data Quality Steward, Change Review Agent, and Lifecycle & Version Compliance Agent. Bring your own agent: NetBox Labs Platform MCP. Since the NetBox Labs Platform MCP entered public preview, it has given MCP clients one endpoint for the platform, and teams don't have to build or maintain a connector. Its tools cover search, reads, writes, bulk operations, branches, and every capability of NetBox including IP address management (IPAM) and cable tracing. It discovers the object types in your instance, including installed plugins, which lets an agent work with your data model as you've extended it. An engineer can ask an agent to find the planned devices at a site, check their interfaces against the device-type templates, allocate management IPs, and stage the changes in a branch. The NetBox Labs Platform MCP docs cover setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, and VS Code, and any client that supports MCP over streamable HTTP with an authorization header can connect. The open source NetBox MCP server and the Agent Skills that teach agents the NetBox data model stay open source under Apache 2.0, and NetBox Labs, Inc. keep investing in both. The open source server is deliberately simple, read-only, and self-hosted - a great way to start experimenting with agents. Platform MCP adds a fully managed endpoint with write tools for teams putting agents into production. Or use ours: NetBox Agents. The three new agents join the Reporting, IPAM, and Troubleshooting agents from the August public preview. The Data Quality Steward learns the naming patterns and required fields your team already uses, proposes them as standards, and stages fixes as one change request per rule, so a reviewer can accept or reject each rule on its own. Anything it can't know, such as a serial number, goes to a person's to-do list. Reviewers start each change request from a first pass by the Change Review Agent, which checks it against change-board rules your team writes in plain language and flags where the diff doesn't match its description. The agent comments and requests changes, and leaves approving and merging to people. The Lifecycle & Version Compliance Agent reports end-of-support exposure and version compliance against the software versions you've standardized on, cites the source of every date, and plans upgrade waves that start with the devices that have the fewest documented dependents. This agent addresses an urgent use case NetBox Labs, Inc. is hearing in the market, accelerating patching to remediate risk from a surge in vulnerabilities discovered by Mythos-class models. Teams can also describe their own agent in plain language and run it on a schedule, triggered by events, or on demand. Because agents keep working between conversations, routine requests stop queueing behind the team. NetBox Labs provides model access through its own platform, so teams don't need to connect a client or manage a model key. The same infrastructure guardrails for people and agents. Each person connects to Platform MCP with their own API token, so an agent can do only what that person is allowed to do. A connection can also be opened read-only, which hides every write tool and rejects any write call. NetBox Agents run as a dedicated account your team scopes, so the same permissions decide what they can reach. Any agent can be set to read-only, and for everything else your team sets each type of action to Always allow, Needs approval, or Blocked. Where NetBox Branching and NetBox Change Management are enabled, agents stage their changes in a branch, and nothing merges until a change request is approved. Every agent action is logged, along with the approval when one was required. NetBox Labs Platform MCP: Availability and access. The NetBox Labs Platform MCP is generally available on the SaaS edition, and NetBox Agents are in public preview. Contact your account team to get access. Both are coming to the self-managed edition in the future. Not a NetBox Labs customer yet?
