From Source of Truth to Infrastructure Intelligence

Alan Shimel with Kris Beevers

The network's source of truth can't live in a spreadsheet anymore. Kris Beevers, Co-Founder and CEO of NetBox Labs, joins Alan Shimel on TechStrong TV to walk through NetBox's evolution from the de facto open-source system of record for IT infrastructure into a full Infrastructure Intelligence Platform. Kris explains why the same complexity that's reshaping AI data centers, neoclouds, and global enterprise networks has outgrown documentation-only tooling, and why automation, observability, security, and AI ops all collapse without trustworthy infrastructure data underneath them. He and Alan dig into the launch of NetBox Data Exchange (NDX) — a free, open catalog of roughly 16,000 components across 115+ vendors and 30 years of IT history — and announce the first-ever NetBox Evolve conference, taking place at the Kennedy Space Center in October.
