IP Fabric
announced the release of Version 7.0, designed to simplify compliance with
regulations and security frameworks and strengthen operational resiliency
across enterprise scale, multicloud environments delivering critical digital
services.
Global enterprises require an end-to-end view of their necessarily
complex cloud and edge environments. Legacy solutions provide a partial,
technology- or domain-specific view, which does not suffice to meet the mandate
of boards of directors, CISOs and IT leaders, who must balance security,
stability, compliance and risk with the pursuit of strategic
transformation.
IP Fabric 7.0 directly addresses this challenge with a full
end-to-end view of infrastructure and intelligent analytics, creating the
security and operational posture for innovation (e.g., automation, AI, cloud
migration, SD-WAN). This gives teams what they need to execute service
delivery, proactively secure and protect business continuity, plan and manage
budgets, and optimize processes across domains.
“The release of IP Fabric 7.0 represents another step forward in
empowering all IT teams to achieve panoramic network visibility, efficiency and
collaboration,” said Pavel Bykov, CEO and co-founder of IP Fabric. “With
features like Multi-View Dashboards, flexible snapshot sharing and even more
built-in compliance verification actions, we’re enabling organizations to
streamline workflows and proactively address infrastructure and security
challenges like never before. This is a new standard for enabling and accelerating
business outcomes directly from the IT organization. IP Fabric 7.0 is our
commitment to driving innovation that transforms the way businesses operate and
succeed.”
Key features in IP Fabric 7.0
1. Improved Productivity Across Teams and Business
Functions
Streamlined
workflows and features improve self-service, cross-departmental collaboration
and data sharing.
- 160+
Automated Intent Verification Checks: Proactively identify and address
compliance, configuration and maintenance risks with out-of-the-box integrated
vendor database checks. - Multi-View
Dashboards: Create custom dashboards to provide tailored views for the
executive team, security practitioners, platform engineers, network engineers
and more – without writing a single line of code. - Shareable
Snapshots and Tables: Enhance collaboration with Shareable Snapshots,
which are fully functional simulations of the network (also known as digital
twins), and tables, which let users analyze and correlate network state
information and parameters across multiple devices. Now users have a single
source of truth to collaborate on remediation and planning. - Exportable
Network Diagrams: Seamlessly export network diagrams to Visio and other platforms
for broader usability.
2. End-to-End Visibility
Comprehensive
insights into major cloud and on-premises environments, including unmanaged
devices, open ports, security vulnerabilities and end-of-life (EOL)
components.
- Expanded
Cloud Discovery and Support: Troubleshoot faster with unified
data, gain full visibility into backend-to-frontend application communications
and prepare for cloud migrations or repatriations. New inventory tables and AWS
Direct Connect Transit VIF support enable deeper insights into traffic flow in
AWS, especially when leveraging Transit Gateways and multiple VIFs. This is
crucial for troubleshooting, optimization and ensuring reliability in
multicloud architectures. - Enhanced
SD-WAN Support: Increase visibility for security teams with new insight into the
performance and connectivity of SD-WAN in Silverpeak and Viptela. - Auto-Discovery
of Security Technology: Identify vulnerabilities and automate security
and compliance remediation with instant insights from Check Point, Palo Alto
Networks and Stormshield. - Advanced
Routing Data: Unlock insights into the exact BGP routes devices advertise to
neighbors for faster troubleshooting, smarter optimizations and increased
confidence that routing aligns with network policies. New BGP capabilities also
enable AWS Direct Connect visibility.
3. Accelerated Business Outcomes
New tools
and enhancements prioritize agility and time savings.
- Early
Snapshot Insights: Network snapshots record the state of the network in time,
retrieve historical information, follow network state changes, analyze
connectivity and more. Now users can access partial data from devices, tables
and diagrams while snapshots are still processing to get insights faster for
their large enterprise environments. - Interactive
API Documentation: Test CRUD (create/read/update/delete) commands directly in the
platform so DevOps and platform engineers can more efficiently build complex
lifecycle automation workflows.
