Even before packets start flowing, enterprise networks are complex, data-intensive repositories of topology, configuration, and state information. This information is often required to solve operational issues—like finding sources of unwanted traffic drops or protocol configuration errors—or to find problems before they become issues. Yet, this valuable information typically goes untapped because getting at it requires too much work.

Managing complex networks can feel like an endless challenge, especially when critical data is scattered across multiple tools and systems. Conflicting sources of truth (SOTs) introduce risks, leaving IT teams uncertain about which data to trust. Without an accurate view of your network, tasks like CVE management, troubleshooting, and compliance become overwhelming—and potentially introduce risk into the network.

In the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), especially when applied to networking and security, the accuracy and reliability of data are paramount. AI systems are only as good as the data they consume, and for network engineers, feeding these systems with up-to-date and precise information can make the difference between optimal performance and costly errors.
