Validate Network Changes Before Production

AI builds sandbox environments for change management, digital twins, and automation testing in minutes.

Watch how NetPilot builds a complete sandbox environment from a single description.

Change Management Without a Sandbox is Risky

Network outages cost $5,600 per minute. Most happen because changes weren't validated in a sandbox first.

Change Requests Go Untested

Network changes go straight to production because building a test environment takes too long. One misconfigured BGP peer or ACL can take down critical services.

Automation Scripts Break in Production

Your Ansible playbooks work in dev but fail on production gear. Without a realistic multi-vendor test bed, you're debugging live — and hoping nothing breaks.

Lab Setup Takes Weeks

Building a POC environment means provisioning VMs, finding device images, configuring each device by hand. By the time it's ready, the project timeline has slipped.

Multi-Vendor Complexity

Your production network has Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and Palo Alto. Building a test lab that matches requires expertise in every vendor's CLI and config syntax.

Traditional Change Testing vs. NetPilot Sandbox

Stop waiting weeks for sandbox environments. Validate changes in minutes.

Traditional workflow

File change request ticket
Wait for lab environment approval
Provision VMs and install EVE-NG
Hunt for device images
Build topology manually in GUI
Configure each device via CLI
Hope it matches production

Minutes per environment

A Complete Network Change Sandbox

Everything you need to validate network changes safely before production.

Change Management Sandbox

Validate every change request before production. Test BGP updates, ACL changes, and routing migrations in an isolated sandbox environment.

Pre-Production Validation

Catch configuration errors before they cause outages. Test failover scenarios, validate configs, and ship changes with confidence.

Automation Testing

Run Ansible, Python, Terraform, or any automation code against real device CLIs. Test in isolation, debug safely, deploy with confidence.

Network Digital Twin

Describe your production topology or provide configs. AI generates a matching sandbox — your network's digital twin in minutes.

Multi-Vendor Support

Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Palo Alto, Fortinet — AI handles each vendor's syntax. Build realistic multi-vendor sandboxes without CLI expertise.

Isolated Cloud Sandbox

Each sandbox runs in a dedicated cloud VM. No shared resources, no conflicts. Test sensitive scenarios without exposing production.

Enterprise Sandbox Use Cases

From change management validation to CI/CD pipelines, NetPilot fits into your existing workflow.

Change Management Validation

Test every change request in a sandbox before production. Validate BGP changes, ACL updates, routing protocol migrations — catch errors before they cause outages.

Network Automation CI/CD

Integrate lab provisioning into your GitOps pipeline. Test Ansible playbooks, Terraform configs, and Python scripts automatically with every commit.

Vendor POC Evaluation

Evaluating new vendors or technologies? Spin up a test environment in minutes. Compare Arista vs Juniper, test SD-WAN solutions, validate before you buy.

Training & Onboarding

Onboard new team members with realistic lab environments. Practice network scenarios without risking production. Upskill your team on multi-vendor configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from enterprise teams evaluating NetPilot.

Describe your production network topology to NetPilot's AI, or provide sanitized configs. The AI generates a complete lab environment with matching topology, IP addressing, and routing configurations. You can also start with a 'mini digital twin' — a scaled-down representation of the most critical parts of your network for targeted testing.
Yes. NetPilot labs are perfect for testing Ansible playbooks, Python scripts, Terraform configs, or any network automation code. Test against real device CLIs in an isolated environment before deploying to production. The AI can also help troubleshoot when automation scripts don't work as expected.
NetPilot provides a REST API for programmatic lab provisioning. You can spin up test environments as part of your GitOps workflow, run automated tests against the lab, and tear down when complete. This enables continuous validation of network changes before they reach production.
NetPilot supports Cisco IOL (routers and L2 switches), Arista cEOS, Juniper cRPD, Palo Alto PAN-OS, Fortinet FortiGate, and Nokia SR Linux. AI handles each vendor's configuration syntax automatically, so you don't need multi-vendor CLI expertise to build complex test environments.
According to Gartner, network outages cost an average of $5,600 per minute — that's $336,000 per hour. Pre-production testing in a NetPilot sandbox helps you catch configuration errors before they cause production outages. The cost of a NetPilot subscription is a fraction of a single hour of downtime.
We deploy a dedicated cloud environment tailored to your team's workflow. Each user gets access to AI-powered lab generation with real CLI access to devices. Build as many labs as you need during the 14-day pilot. Includes dedicated onboarding assistance and direct Slack channel with our engineering team.
