Network digital twin

The migration that already failed — in the lab, where it was cheap

A replica of your network in EVE-NG running real network operating systems: migration, failure and rollback proven before production is touched.

The problem

The change runs in production for the first time

The migration plan works on paper. In the real network the BGP policy turns out to touch another prefix, the MTU does not match, and the rollback takes 40 minutes — inside a 30-minute window.

The digital twin — the lab that comes before production

A topology built from real network operating systems: border routers, IXP and CDN peerings, the aggregation layer, VLANs and the management network — production, replicated in the lab. Migration, failure and rollback run here first; only then does anyone touch the live network.
