NetBox Labs, the commercial steward of the open-source NetBox project, has built a comprehensive platform around NetBox for network and infrastructure management. Today, the company is announcing the general availability of NetBox Copilot,  an AI agent that sits inside the NetBox platform and enables  organizations to interact with the NetBox data in natural language and drive change in the network autonomously.

Strategic Partnership with WWT

The company also announced today a strategic partnership with WWT (World Wide Technology), a systems integrator and a major hardware reseller. WWT has incorporated the NetBox Labs platform into its reference architecture for all its automation projects. 

This positions the NetBox Labs platform as a "core underpinning" of WWT's automation practice, advising enterprise-class customers in sectors like financial services and manufacturing on the necessary software stack for their move to a fully automated environment. 

Bill Lapcevic, co-founder and chief revenue officer at NetBox Labs, said, "Enterprise class customers like banks and other financial services, manufacturing, they rely on companies like WWT to help guide them in terms of the software stack that they'll use to manage that infrastructure and manage the automation process, plus all the best practices, guidance and expertise necessary to do the organizational change around this new fully automated way of doing things. So pretty much every time their automation practice goes into a business and says, we'd like to do a big automation practice with you, the first thing they'll do is to say and you're going to put NetBox Labs platform in place so that we can actually do the things we need to do to make you successful."
