Source of Truth

NetBox

Two-way integration with NetBox as a primary Source of Truth feed for sites, devices, racks, and circuits.

Lifecycle Tooling

Overview

NetBox is the most widely deployed open-source network Source of Truth. Netos works with NetBox as a peer system — ingesting its model, extending it with lifecycle and financial context, and reconciling back where the customer wants it.

What Netos ingests

  • Sites, regions, racks, and locations
  • Devices, device roles, types, and platforms
  • Interfaces, circuits, IP space, and VLANs
  • Custom fields and tags as first-class attributes

Reconciliation

Where NetBox is the canonical inventory, Netos treats it as the authoritative feed and layers lifecycle, contract, and financial data on top without overwriting source data.

Use cases

Business cases that build on the NetBox integration.

Comparing CapEx new, remanufactured, and NaaS lease for the same refresh

Three procurement strategies, one estate, one Source of Truth. The model the procurement committee signs off rebuilds itself as the data changes.

Cutting CAPEX by 32% on a payments network refresh by modelling EoL strategies first

A 32 percent CapEx reduction across the refresh, from modeling end-of-life (EoL) strategies before sizing it, in a modeled payments company scenario.

Cutting CAPEX by 32% on a payments network refresh by modelling EoL strategies first

Network refreshes are among the largest drivers of hardware spend, and most are sized against vendor-recommended replacements rather than a modelled set of strategies. In the modelled payments company scenario, building the EoL strategies first supported a 32 percent CAPEX reduction across the refresh.

Cutting OPEX by 58% on a UK bank's network by modelling TCO before the refresh

Once the data centre is built and the campus network is deployed, the real question is what it costs to operate and maintain over the next five years. In the modelled UK bank scenario, TCO modelling on a four million dollar refresh surfaced a 52 to 58 percent OPEX reduction over five years, approximately one million dollars in savings.

Cutting OPEX by 58% on a UK bank's network by modelling TCO before the refresh

In the modelled UK bank scenario, a four million dollar refresh showed a 52 to 58 percent five-year OPEX cut. The model the board signs off rebuilds itself as the data changes.

Know which AT&T MPLS circuits expire in the next 60 days and what comes next

Every circuit, renewal date, and contract reference in one reconciled view. AT&T is one of several carriers Netos ingests; the same calendar covers your whole estate.

Modelling a 6-to-2 data centre consolidation with multi-year OPEX shape

Six data centers into two, with kit, contracts, power, and rack costs already attached. When the move schedule slips, the forecast moves with it.

Modelling a Cisco Catalyst 3850 to 9300 refresh end-to-end

Every 3850 stack in the estate, with its EoSL date, candidate 9300 replacement, and refresh-year CapEx attached. The model the board signs off rebuilds itself when data changes.

Read the use case

Modelling an MPLS-to-SD-WAN migration with cost and timing trade-offs

Site by site, circuit by circuit — MPLS termination charges, SD-WAN edge CapEx, and overlap OpEx attached. A transition plan the steering committee can sign off.

Show a PCI auditor which retail access switches are past EoVulnerability

PCI DSS expects you to know which in-scope devices no longer get vulnerability patches. Netos shows the End-of-Vulnerability slice for every store before the audit team asks.

Winning an RFP with a multi-year TCO model the customer can re-run

A live TCO model the buying committee can re-run on their own discount rate and refresh year moves the argument from Year 1 price to five-year total cost, where the partner wins.
