NEW YORK CITY, NY – 20/04/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As enterprises accelerate digital transformation initiatives, the ability to automate, validate, and document network operations at scale has become increasingly critical. In response to these demands, Network to Code has introduced a significant update to its Nautobot platform, marking a new phase in the commercialization of its network automation ecosystem.
The company announced the general availability of Nautobot 3.1, a release that introduces a suite of commercial applications and bundled offerings aimed at helping organizations streamline network changes, ensure compliance, and maintain operational transparency. The update reflects Network to Code’s broader push to combine open-source flexibility with enterprise-grade functionality through its evolving open-core strategy.
At the core of Nautobot 3.1 are two primary commercial applications—OS Upgrades and Operational Compliance. Together, these tools are designed to help IT teams execute network changes consistently, validate outcomes before and after deployment, detect configuration drift, and maintain a verifiable record of operations. According to pre-release deployments, organizations leveraging these applications reported up to an 80% reduction in upgrade time while achieving comprehensive compliance documentation.
Industry observers note that while many enterprises can perform isolated network changes, scaling those changes reliably across thousands of devices remains a persistent challenge. The introduction of these applications aims to address that gap by enabling repeatable, auditable, and risk-aware automation processes.
Modern enterprise networks, often spanning multiple vendors and complex architectures, continue to face mounting pressure to deliver agility without compromising stability or security. Manual validation processes and fragmented tooling frequently slow progress, increasing the risk of downtime and operational inefficiencies. Nautobot 3.1 seeks to mitigate these issues by embedding validation and evidence tracking directly into automated workflows.
The release also underscores Network to Code’s transition toward an open-core business model. By layering commercial applications on top of its widely adopted open-source Nautobot platform, the company aims to provide customers with scalable solutions while preserving customization and extensibility.
To support a range of deployment needs, Network to Code introduced three commercial bundles: Nautobot Professional, Nautobot Enterprise, and Nautobot Cloud. Each package is tailored to different stages of automation maturity and operational requirements.
- Nautobot Professional targets teams establishing their automation foundation, offering tools such as Network Discovery for automated device identification and Insights dashboards for enhanced visibility into network data and automation performance.
- Nautobot Enterprise expands on these capabilities with advanced workflows and self-managed infrastructure, incorporating flagship applications like OS Upgrades and Operational Compliance to support large-scale, mission-critical environments.
- Nautobot Cloud, a fully managed SaaS offering, delivers all Enterprise features within a hosted environment, reducing infrastructure overhead while enabling rapid deployment and access to cloud-native capabilities. Since its introduction, Nautobot Cloud has gained traction among organizations seeking to accelerate automation without managing underlying systems.
In addition, the company unveiled Cloud Secure Proxy, an on-premises component designed to establish secure outbound connectivity to Nautobot Cloud. By eliminating the need for VPNs and complex network configurations, the solution simplifies integration across distributed enterprises, including organizations with federated structures or active merger and acquisition activities.
The Nautobot 3.1 release represents a strategic step in Network to Code’s product-led growth approach, reinforcing its position in the network automation market while addressing the operational realities faced by modern IT teams.
