Save Time and Reduce Risk: How a Digital Twin Makes Maintaining a Single Source of Truth Effortless

Managing a complex network demands precise and up-to-date information, yet achieving a single source of truth (SSOT) for your network is a significant challenge. Many enterprises rely on multiple sources of truth (SOTs), but conflicting SOTs introduce risk—how can engineers be certain which one is accurate? How can IT teams ensure there are no unidentified devices hidden in the network? Without accurate data, critical tasks like managing CVEs become nearly impossible—you can't secure or remediate devices you don’t even know exist. By integrating and cross-populating SOTs, administrators gain unprecedented levels of detail about the network and its devices. This session will demonstrate how the Forward Networks Digital Twin collects, augments, and consolidates network information across multiple SOTs to create a comprehensive and accurate SSOT. Using tools like device decorators, Forward Networks ensures seamless troubleshooting, efficient remediation, and a more secure network environment. Key highlights include: Why a single source of truth matters: Gain insights into how an accurate SSOT improves troubleshooting, enhances compliance, and streamlines operations. Challenges of tools like Netbox: Learn why manual updates and integration issues often lead to inaccuracies and inefficiencies in managing network inventory. How a Network Digital Twin transforms your approach: See how Forward Networks automatically reconciles and updates your network data, eliminating the need for manual intervention and ensuring your inventory is always 100% accurate. Join Technical Solutions Architect and cloud expert Craig Johnson, along with Technical Product Marketing Leader Mike Lossmann, for an interactive demonstration of how Forward Enterprise simplifies the creation and maintenance of a single source of truth (SSOT), empowering you to focus on achieving your objectives with confidence and ease.
