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.

IP Fabric 7.0 provides 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.
