Get the visibility to scope, plan, and implement major projects. Ensure resilience and cost savings every step of the way.
45% of IT Project Are Over Budget.
Yours Doesn’t Have to Be.
IP Fabric makes it easy to plan even the most complex multi-year or multi-vendor refreshes, helping you to meet every timeline and budget.
I have a budget all the way through 2031 knowing exactly what’s in our environment to be replaced.
Start With Data You Can Trust
Uncover every hidden device and dependency from your on-prem and cloud environments to your critical applications. Plan your projects with the most complete and up-to-date understanding of your environment.
Ensure Always-On Service Availability
Avoid unintended outages by simulating the impact of any change before you make it. Use timestamped snapshots to track your progress and prove continuous security / regulatory compliance.
Optimize Your Budget
Leverage detailed technology tables and deterministic insights to save on costs by:
- Not paying maintenance fees for phantom devices
- Removing underdutilized hardware before refreshes
- Simplifying vendor management
- Automating workflows & reallocating hours to revenue-generating projects
FAQs
Every time IP Fabric runs a snapshot, it’s discovering all the devices, connections, and configurations in your environment ranging from on-prem and cloud environments to critical applications. This snapshot is a complete and accurate representation of your cloud and network behavior at that moment in time. As such, it serves as a trusted and always-updated reference for planning and budgeting projects like network consolidations, M&A integrations, cloud migrations, and more.
Most organizations use their CMDBs or asset management tools to plan network refreshes, but IP Fabric has proven that as much as 40% of of the information in those systems are incorrect, missing, or outdated. This faulty data leads organizations to spend more than is actually needed.
IP Fabric ensures that you start your refresh with a complete inventory of all your devices, along with their serial numbers, model numbers, lifecycle statuses, and more. Once your refresh is underway, IP Fabric will take daily snapshots to track your progress, confirming that retired devices have actually been taken out of production, and validating that new devices are configured according to business intent. These snapshots also serve as proof of continuous security and regulatory compliance.
IP Fabric communicates with cloud vendors (e.g. Azure, AWS) via API, and ingests application data from tools like Illumio, so that you can map every dependency between cloud, network, and host layers. Before you migrate a workload, you can run an end-to-end path lookup to see every device and path that will be impacted. After you’ve migrated a workload, you can compare before-and-after snapshots to confirm that all traffic is flowing as intended. These snapshots also serve as timestamped proof of security and regulatory compliance.
Before you start your SD-WAN rollout, it’s essential to have a complete understanding of cloud and network behavior. IP Fabric’s app-aware model acts as a baseline for that behavior, showing you:
- How sites connect
- Where policies are applied
- How routing behaves
Then, once your rollout is underway, IP Fabric can run end-to-end path lookups to simulate the effect of each change before you push it into production. Once changes are live, you can use IP Fabric’s MCP server to quickly correlate your overlay tunnels with your physical underlay to confirm that traffic is flowing as you intended.
Nearly half of all large IT projects run over budget. Most of that comes down to not knowing what’s actually in your network. IP Fabric helps you to:
- Stop paying maintenance fees on devices that are no longer in production.
- Spot underutilized hardware to rightsize your network.
- Walk into vendor negotiations knowing exactly what you own and what you need.
This depth and breadth of network visibility is the key to reducing unnecessary spend and keeping resource-saving programs on schedule.
