Network to Code has commercialised its open-source Nautobot platform with flagship OS upgrade and compliance apps, helping enterprises cut network upgrade time by 80% while improving auditability and resilience.
Network to Code has expanded the commercial layer of its open-source Nautobot platform with the launch of Nautobot 3.1, introducing enterprise-grade applications designed to automate network change, validate outcomes, and strengthen lifecycle control across large multi-vendor device estates.
The release’s two flagship commercial applications—OS Upgrades and Operational Compliance—work together to automate change execution, validate network states before and after upgrades, detect operational drift, and preserve evidence trails for compliance and audits. In pre-release enterprise deployments, the software reduced upgrade time by 80% while delivering complete compliance records, creating a strong measurable uptime and risk-reduction proof point for enterprise infrastructure teams.
The launch directly addresses key electronics infrastructure pain points including downtime risk, security exposure, manual verification overhead, and post-change troubleshooting delays, especially in complex multi-vendor hardware environments.
This marks a major step in Network to Code’s open-core monetisation strategy, layering commercial software on top of Nautobot’s open-source core while preserving deployment flexibility. To widen adoption, the company introduced Nautobot Professional, Nautobot Enterprise, and Nautobot Cloud, alongside Cloud Secure Proxy, a lightweight on-premises component that creates a secure outbound tunnel to the SaaS platform without VPN complexity.
Paul Brady, CEO of Network to Code, said the launch helps enterprises make network change “repeatable, safe and provable across thousands of devices,” turning automation into measurable operational outcomes.
