When you create a digital twin of your network, you are essentially creating a virtual sandbox environment where you can test different device configurations before deploying them to prevent network disruptions or downtime.
Digital twin is not a new concept; they have been used in manufacturing, supply chains, and even google maps can be thought of as a digital twin of the Earth’s surface; however, it is new for networking.
Extreme’s Chief Technology and Product Officer, Nabil Bukhari, announced the first network digital twin at Extreme Connect 2022 while he was on stage sharing the company’s technology vision.
Watch this clip of Nabil to learn more about digital twin technology and how it will help your IT team become more efficient in deploying new devices.
Deploying a new device can be time-consuming and potentially cause problems within your network that impact business operations. Instead of spending weeks staging devices in a lab or performing a risky test by rolling it out in a production environment, digital twin technology for your network is here to help you take the guesswork out of deploying new devices.

When you create a digital twin of your network, you can test various scenarios that could happen while you deploy a new device. This will help you create a deployment plan and make modifications based on what you see.
Now that you have gained visibility into what could go wrong in the digital twin version of your network, you can now reduce the risk of network downtime costing your business time and productivity. You were able to see what might go wrong, figure out the best plan, and understand how to mitigate potential issues before they ever have the chance to impact your existing network.
You are ready to deploy now that you have your plan and have modified any configurations that might change your network performance. The digital twin of your network has prepared you to integrate your new device seamlessly and with minimal disruption!
