The vendor-neutral platform that turns an entire enterprise network into a verified, interactive digital twin - in minutes, not months.
Ask ten engineers what is running on a large enterprise network and you may get eleven answers. The diagram on the wall was accurate six months ago. The spreadsheet in the CMDB lists devices that were decommissioned years back. And somewhere in the seams, a misconfiguration is waiting for the worst possible moment to matter. IP Fabric was built to close that gap.
Founded in 2015 by Pavel Bykov, Roman Aprias, and Miroslav Hybl, IP Fabric is a vendor-neutral automated network assurance platform. In plain terms: it connects to the network, reads it, and reconstructs what is really there - every device, every connection, every configuration - then draws the map and checks it against what the network is supposed to be doing.
The company calls the result a digital twin, though it is careful about the phrase. IP Fabric positions itself as an assurance platform first, treating the twin as a use case rather than the product. The distinction matters. The point is not a pretty replica of the network; it is a continuously verified answer to a simple question - is the network doing what we think it is doing?
That question has teeth. In one documented deployment, IP Fabric's ServiceNow integration surfaced an estimated $300,000 in renewal costs still being paid on devices that had already been retired, along with asset data inaccurate enough to invite regulatory fines. The network had drifted from the record, and nobody had noticed.
The platform is agentless and read-only by design, which makes it one of the least intrusive ways to map a live production estate. Nothing is installed on the devices; nothing is changed. It simply observes, models, and reports - then plugs the verified picture into the automation and ITSM tools teams already run.
Headquartered on North Washington Street in Boston with its engineering heart in Prague, IP Fabric has grown to roughly 150 people across offices in London and New York. Its customers are the kind of organizations that cannot afford to guess: Red Hat, Air France, Airbus, and Major League Baseball among them.
Networks change constantly, but the records describing them rarely keep up. That drift is where outages, failed audits, and wasted spend are born. IP Fabric attacks the drift directly.
Manual diagrams and stale CMDB entries mean teams operate a network they cannot fully see. Automation built on that bad data just breaks things faster.
Agentless discovery reconstructs the real topology and inventory, simulates end-to-end packet flows, and generates living documentation automatically.
Intent checks flag misconfigurations and policy violations, and historical snapshots turn every change into something you can validate and evidence for auditors.
Discovers every device, connection, and configuration across on-prem and hybrid cloud, then builds an interactive digital twin of the network's actual state and behavior.
Predefined and custom checks flag inconsistencies and generate evidence for standards like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and NERC CIP - continuously, not once a year.
Transparent firewall discovery and filtering simulation across Palo Alto, FortiGate, and Firepower expose defense gaps and validate segmentation. (v7.2, 2025)
Discovery and path analysis for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud - including Azure Firewall, Private Link, Transit Gateway, and dual-stack IPv6. (v7.9, 2026)
A ServiceNow CMDB extension plus a Python SDK make downstream automation trustworthy by feeding it verified, current network data.
Point-in-time snapshots let teams compare the network over time, prove what changed, and troubleshoot faster with a reliable source of truth.
The network verification market splits along a simple line: do you want to model changes before you make them, or continuously assure the live network you already run? IP Fabric leans hard into the second - with the lightest touch.
Nothing installed, nothing changed on your devices. Safe to run against production from day one.
One consistent model across multi-vendor, multi-cloud estates - not a single-vendor management console.
Designed to feed ServiceNow, Ansible, and NetBox rather than replace them - assurance as a layer, not a walled garden.
Subscription software licensed to large network operators, typically priced by network scale, sold direct and through a global channel and technology-partner ecosystem.
Adoption lands with network engineers and architects, then expands into NetDevOps, security, and compliance - a classic land-and-expand pattern.
Sits in the network assurance / digital twin space alongside Forward Networks and Batfish, adjacent to source-of-truth tools like NetBox and monitoring suites.
Enterprises across financial services, aviation, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and the public sector - organizations where a wrong network map has real consequences.
IP Fabric grew out of firsthand frustration with the limits of existing network tooling - the founders had lived the problem before they built the fix.
Broader leadership includes CMO Kathleen Rohrecker, VP of Product Miguel Pinto, and VP of Global Sales Michael Grant.
Pavel Bykov, Roman Aprias, and Miroslav Hybl launch the company to automate discovery and verification of large enterprise networks, with engineering rooted in Prague.
Intent verification and predefined checks arrive, flagging misconfigurations and inconsistencies at scale.
A Python SDK and integrations connect IP Fabric to ITSM and automation stacks including ServiceNow, Ansible, and NetBox.
One Peak leads a $25M round alongside Senovo and Presto Ventures, bringing total funding to roughly $30.7M.
Version 7.2 adds firewall discovery and simulation, and a ServiceNow extension automates CMDB accuracy and dependency mapping.
IP Fabric 7.9 expands into Azure and Google Cloud with dual-stack IPv6 path analysis and API scalability for autonomous operations.
Led by One Peak, with Senovo and Presto Ventures participating. Announced June 2023.
Backed by Senovo, Presto Ventures, and Credo Ventures. Amounts undisclosed.
Total raised across rounds to scale network assurance globally.
Expanded Azure and GCP visibility - Azure Firewall, Private Link and Private Endpoint discovery - plus dual-stack IPv6 path analysis and API scalability.
Automates CMDB accuracy and dependency mapping between network infrastructure and business services.
Transparent firewall discovery and filtering simulation across Palo Alto, FortiGate, and Firepower.
AWS Direct Connect and Transit Gateway discovery with real-time BGP route analytics.
It automatically discovers, verifies, visualizes, and documents large-scale enterprise networks, building an interactive digital twin of the actual network state so teams can validate intent, catch misconfigurations, keep the CMDB accurate, and prove compliance.
Large enterprises and infrastructure operators - including Red Hat, Air France, Airbus, and Major League Baseball - across financial services, manufacturing, logistics, aviation, healthcare, and the public sector. Users are network engineers, architects, NetDevOps, and security teams.
IP Fabric focuses on least-intrusive, read-only discovery and continuous assurance of the live production network, and plugs into existing automation and ITSM tools. Forward Networks emphasizes formal pre-change verification, and Batfish is the open-source standard for offline config checks.
Yes. The platform is agentless and read-only, designed to be one of the least intrusive ways to discover and map a live enterprise network.
About $30.7M total, including a $25M Series B led by One Peak in June 2023, with participation from Senovo and Presto Ventures.
