NAD v2 is an enterprise-grade desktop application powered by Claude AI. State your requirements and it returns a validated topology, draw.io and Visio diagrams, device configurations, and a live-priced bill of materials — in minutes, not days.
NAD Design · Windows & macOS · Launching soon — join for early access
NAD v2 turns complex network architecture into an elegant, AI-driven workflow. From initial requirements to production-ready configurations, diagrams, and a priced bill of materials — in minutes, not days.
Describe your requirements and Claude AI generates a complete network architecture — topology, redundancy, QoS, WAN design, and cloud connectivity in one pass.
Full IOS, NX-OS, and vendor-specific configurations generated for every device — core switches, firewalls, WAN routers, branch equipment with AAA, SNMP, and QoS.
Export your design with verified Cisco stencils so diagrams open clean and editable in the tools your team already uses — plus branded, client-ready PDF reports.
Export your design directly as an EVE-NG topology file — nodes, links, and templates pre-configured and ready to import into your lab environment.
Cisco SKUs priced from a weekly refresh, with exact models, quantities, and totals. Confirmed matches show in blue; AI estimates are flagged — so a draft is never mistaken for a quote.
Comprehensive zero-trust security design — firewall zones, IDS/IPS placement, NAC, SIEM recommendations, and compliance for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, and more.
Build new networks from intent — topology, draw.io/Visio export, live BOM, and audit. This is the Enterprise Edition, shipping today.
Analyze and optimize the networks you already run — troubleshooting, config generation, SNMP discovery, security audit, and Ansible automation.
The enterprise platforms do discovery and assurance well — and price like it. NAD focuses on the design-and-quote workflow a smaller team runs every week.

Every network type is included in every NAD Design plan — Solo and Team alike.
Three-tier hierarchical or spine-leaf enterprise campus networks.
High-availability data center with redundant core and DMZ segmentation.
GPU cluster networking with RoCE v2, 400G spine-leaf, and storage fabric.
Carrier-grade MPLS backbone, BGP peering, and subscriber infrastructure.
Software-defined WAN with zero-touch provisioning and app-aware routing.
Large-scale wireless and wired campus with BYOD and guest segmentation.
Multi-cloud connectivity with Azure, AWS, and GCP integration patterns.
Small to medium branch networks with WAN failover and QoS.
NAD Design builds new networks. NAD Operate analyzes and optimizes the ones you already run. Take either on its own, or the Suite for both — Solo for a single engineer, Team for the whole practice.
NAD v2 is in early access — join the list to get your trial key at launch. NAD Operate and Suite unlock once the Engineer Edition ships. Checkout is not yet connected to live payment.
Describe your client's needs — users, sites, applications, compliance, budget, and vendor preferences.
Claude AI analyzes requirements and generates a complete, production-ready network design in seconds.
Review architecture, BOM, configs, diagrams, and security posture — all in one unified interface.
Export draw.io/Visio diagrams, EVE-NG topologies, device configs, and a priced BOM — ready for client delivery.
NAD v2 launches soon. Join the early-access list and we'll send your trial key the moment NAD Design goes live — plus a heads-up when Operate for existing networks ships.
