What is Network Copilot?

Aviz Network Copilot (NCP) is an AI-native, vendor-neutral network observability and operations assistant designed to accelerate troubleshooting, streamline operations, and improve infrastructure resilience. It empowers network and platform teams to interact with complex telemetry and configuration data using intuitive, natural language prompts.

NCP combines Generative AI with a powerful multi-vendor, multi-NOS data mobility platform to unify structured and unstructured data across telemetry, configuration, inventory, and ticketing systems. It continuously ingests, correlates, and analyzes data across domains, enabling real-time insights, historical context, and predictive recommendations.

Built for hybrid, multi-cloud environments, NCP supports integrations across the network stack—from switches and routers to cloud storage, observability tools, and ITSM platforms. It reduces mean time to insight and action (MTTIA), enables proactive support, and provides always-on compliance and lifecycle visibility, helping teams transition from reactive firefighting to strategic network engineering.
