NAPI by NetoAI is an AI-powered network automation platform that streamlines configuration, orchestration, discovery, and service activation across multi-domain, multi-vendor networks. By abstracting the network into a standard interface for northbound applications and AI engines, NAPI eliminates complexity, accelerates automation, and enables closed-loop operations. With AI-driven configuration, intent-based orchestration, and zero-touch activation, NAPI ensures rapid, error-free service delivery while reducing fallout and latency. Its intelligent discovery engine normalizes real-time topology, telemetry, and device data into a vendor-agnostic model, giving operators full network visibility and control. Seamlessly integrated with DigiTwin, NAPI provides real-time insights to support proactive, data-driven decision-making. Key Benefits: 80% faster cross-domain service delivery 90% automation coverage of orchestration workflows 99% service activation success rate 97% asset visibility across all network domains Real-time dashboard for lifecycle management and QoS insights
NetPilot is an AI agent that designs, builds, and validates multi-vendor networks from a plain-English prompt — before anything touches production. Describe the network you need: the agent designs the topology, generates per-vendor configurations, deploys it on real network operating systems (12+ vendors and growing, including Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Nokia, Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Aruba), and validates the result. Every device runs real NOS code with a real CLI you can SSH into from the browser, so engineers verify the agent's work the classic way. Teams use NetPilot for pre-change validation (rehearse a configuration change in a mirror lab before it reaches production), POC and demo labs, research and interop testing, and training — a working multi-vendor lab in about 2 minutes instead of days of image and VM wrangling. Runs entirely in the browser with nothing to install; built on containerlab. NetBox, Nautobot, and Nornir connectors are built in — the agent reads your network source of truth and runs read-only show commands against your live network. Enterprise options include on-premises deployment, SSO, and custom integrations.
netplex is a browser-native network engineering platform for building, troubleshooting, and automating enterprise network architectures. It uses QEMU and KVM virtualization to support vendor images like Cisco IOS-XE, Juniper Junos, Arista EOS, and Palo Alto PAN-OS, enabling engineers to test production-equivalent equipment. Supporting over 140 device types across 65 vendors, it applies automatic image fixes during upload. The platform’s distributed architecture employs encrypted VXLAN fabric for horizontal scaling and integrates with AI agents via an MCP server protocol for topology analysis, CLI execution, and issue diagnosis. Engineers can simulate network conditions like latency and packet loss with visual feedback. Features include packet capture, live terminal access, REST and WebSocket APIs, Git-based backups, and a presentation mode with annotation tools. netplex supports IPv6, OSPFv3, BGP4+, SRv6, and topology imports from other emulation tools.
Customized web applications for companies of all sizes.
rConfig is network configuration management software for network teams. Back up device configurations and network state, track every change, compare versions, check configs for compliance, and recover quickly when something goes wrong. rConfig works across Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Aruba and hundreds of other network devices. Connect using SSH, Telnet, xFTP, HTTP/S or custom integrations. Run rConfig in your own environment, including on-premises and offline networks. Your configurations and credentials stay under your control. Start with rConfig Core for free, or book a demo for larger and more complex networks.
