Dübendorf ZH – NetFabric has closed an early financing round with 2.2 million dollars. These funds will be used to further develop a new approach to monitoring IT networks. The Zurich-based company addresses network diversity and the complexity of protocols.
NetFabric has received 2.2 million dollars in a pre-seed financing round. The round was led by the venture capital firms Founderful from Zurich and Playfair Capital from London. According to a press release from the start-up, which was founded in Dübendorf in April 2024, it intends to use the fresh capital to "revolutionize the world of network monitoring with a bold new approach" in order to avoid disruptive and cost-intensive network outages as far as possible. According to NetFabric, existing tools only offer rough insights into the complex world of networks because they are based on fragmented data. This leads to false alarms and incomplete problem solving. NetFabric addresses these problems by bringing together information from a variety of network sources: routing information, forwarding tables, device configurations and protocols. The result is a meaningful intelligence that enables a comprehensive and precise understanding of network problems. NetFabric achieves this by tackling two fundamental challenges: on the one hand, large language models are used for the differentiated representation of monitoring data from widely varying real IT networks in order to effectively handle non-standardized data sources and user queries. And secondly, because large language models are not sufficient for a systematic understanding of protocols, they are supplemented by mathematical models which, according to NetFabric, are based on a decade of academic research. ce/mm
