More than a decade of proving that networks can be managed like software
Network to Code has spent more than a decade proving that networks can be managed like software. Founded in 2014, we began by teaching network engineers to automate.
We built the industry's first network automation community, then built the platform that community needed. Nautobot's foundation is the work we've done since day one: delivering network automation services inside enterprise networks, where we learned firsthand what automation needs to hold up in production.
Today, Network to Code is a network automation platform company. We are the creator and maintainer of Nautobot, the leading open source Network Source of Truth (NSoT) and Network Automation Platform, and of the commercial software that extends it. Together, they help enterprises adopt automation and make NetDevOps a durable practice rather than a one-time project.
Gartner has named Network to Code a Representative Vendor in its Market Guide for Network Automation Platforms five years running.
We built the industry's first network automation community
Nautobot was built for the scale, complexity, and multi-vendor reality of the largest, most demanding enterprise networks, and 30 of the Fortune 100 rely on it today. Nautobot combines a Network Source of Truth and an Automation Platform in a single system. It unifies network data from every vendor and source, establishes intended state, and orchestrates the automation that keeps the network aligned to it. Nautobot is available as open source, as self-managed Nautobot Professional and Nautobot Enterprise, and as Nautobot Cloud, our fully managed SaaS offering.
Every commercial edition adds Nautobot Support and a growing catalog of applications for the work enterprises do at scale: device discovery and onboarding, OS upgrades, operational compliance, reporting, and audit-ready evidence. Each edition also includes NautobotAI, a suite of AI assistants grounded in trusted Nautobot data. It helps teams find answers and build automation faster, while execution stays governed inside the platform.
Our services exist to accelerate adoption. The engineers who build Nautobot are the same ones who help teams deploy it, integrate it, and develop the NetDevOps skills to extend it independently - because automation that a team can't maintain isn't automation, it's a dependency.
Network to Code exists to bring the power of software to the networks the world runs on, and to the people who run them.
We envision a world where every network runs on trusted data and automation.
Our mission is to help network teams get automation into production and keep it there, with Nautobot, our open, vendor-neutral platform, backed by expert services and the industry’s largest network automation community.
Nautobot is open source, and it stays that way. The core platform - the Network Source of Truth, the automation engine, the app framework - is freely available, community-developed and NTC-maintained, and running in more than 85,000 installations worldwide.
Nautobot is open source, and it will stay that way.
On top of that core we build commercial software for the problems enterprises hit at scale: discovering and onboarding devices, upgrading operating systems across thousands of them, proving compliance to auditors, and accelerating automation development with AI. Open-core means the foundation is yours. You add commercial capability when the problem justifies it.
Software that ships is not the same as results delivered. We measure ourselves on the second one. Our customers require trusted data, automations in production, and an AI framework that safely allows agents to operate within and on the network. Every capability in Nautobot was built to meet a real production need, driven by engineers running some of the world's most demanding networks: global banks, telecom providers, research institutions, and hyperscalers.
We are a customer-first company, measured by automation in production.
That's why our commercial software focuses on results for real-world production environments: 80% less time spent on OS upgrades, complete compliance records, automation built in minutes instead of hours. And it's why our services are built to accelerate platform adoption and to keep automation running long after the first project ships.
Before Network to Code was a company, it was a group of people trading ideas about automating networks. We created the industry's first network automation Slack community in 2016; it now brings together more than 35,000 practitioners across more than 50 open source projects.
Our open source investment didn't stop at the core platform. We also built and maintain open source applications for Nautobot that cover the work network teams do every day: configuration compliance with Golden Config, data integration with Single Source of Truth (SSoT), and lifecycle management with Device Lifecycle Management. Each one solved a real problem in the open, and each one brought more teams to Nautobot.
Nautobot's direction is shaped in the open - through NautoCon, the official Nautobot Users Group, public GitHub discussion, and community sessions where users vote directly on what gets built next. That openness isn't marketing. It's how we find the problems worth solving, and it's why the platform reflects how network teams actually work.
Openness isn’t marketing. It’s how we find the problems worth solving.
Before there was a market, there was a room full of people. NTC built it.
The community surfaced the real problems: bad network data and no ability to automate at scale.
Nautobot becomes a commercial software business, with AI and an open core.
