Forward has rebranded from Forward Networks to Forward and introduced Forward Predict to show the full impact of network changes before they are made. Forward Predict is built to support safe autonomous networking by using a network digital twin that provides deterministic proof of how changes affect a production network. Every proposed change is run against a mathematically accurate digital twin of the entire production network to prevent costly errors from reaching production. The capability is intended to give organizations behavioral insight to move fast, operate securely, and scale with confidence across multi-supplier environments and major clouds including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and IBM. Customers include Goldman Sachs, PayPal, S&P Global, IBM, and Dell, plus other enterprises and government agencies.
"Forward Predict is said to be a first-of-its-kind capability that shows the full impact of network changes before they are made. With the primary aim of making safe autonomous networking possible, Forward's network digital twin is designed to deliver deterministic proof of how any change will affect a production network before it is made. This will give organisations the behavioural insight they need to move fast, operate securely, and scale with confidence across multi-supplier environments and every major cloud, such as Amazon Web Services, Azure, Google Cloud and IBM."
"By running every proposed change against a mathematically accurate digital twin of the entire production network, Forward Predict is attributed with ensuring that costly errors never reach production, giving organisations the confidence to move faster, operate safely at any scale, and lay the foundation for autonomous networking. Forward customers include Goldman Sachs, PayPal, S&P Global, IBM and Dell, alongside other Fortune 500 enterprises and government agencies."
""We built Forward on the conviction that math could do what manual processes never could," said Forward chief artificial intelligence (AI) officer and co-founder Nikhil Handigol. "Network changes have always carried unnecessary risk, because engineers lacked definitive knowledge of the network behaviour." "Forward Predict changes the paradigm by verifying every change before it happens, which means engineering teams stop operating on instinct and start operating on certainty. This level of certainty is the essential prerequisite for autonomous networking, enabling AI agents to propose, verify and deploy at machine speed without human intervention.""
