Forward Networks
CEO: David Erickson
The intent-based networking software startup Forward Networks allows customers to search, verify and predict network behavior by providing a software copy of their networks that customers can use to run tests before implementing changes into production. The startup's SaaS-based platform is aimed to prevent outages, streamline network management and enable engineers to test any changes before deployment. The Palo Alto, Calif.-based startup's Forward Enterprise ensures policy compliance by predicting impact from network changes and quickly isolates configuration errors and remediation steps.
