Preventive Automation

Over half of all network issues stem from configuration drift and related human errors. NetBrain Next-Gen enables your hybrid network to be described as a set of Network Intents which can be assessed individually or continuously, ensuring that the network is delivering the levels of service required by the business and all of it’s applications.

Capture

An advanced no-code engine captures the experience and expertise of your subject matter experts so it can be re-used and shared across the organization.

Replicate

Capture your Network Intent once and then replicate it across all applicable devices.

Enforce

Assess Network Intents upon the production network to pinpoint issues and other conditions that deviate from expected designs

Outage Prevention

Most network operations plans focus on resolving incidents once reported, but the most effective strategy is prevention. NetBrain’s intent-based automation spots problems long before they affect production services.

Reducing Costs

Preventing outages is far less expensive than responding to them. When critical outages occur, significant premiums are incurred to restore business operations against the clock.

Leveraging Intents

Network Intent verifications run continuously to detect problems before they impact production. This checks human error and unintended consequences.

Service Delivery

Ensuring that the network directly supports each business-critical application and service is easily accomplished by enforcing Network Intents.

Design Compliance

Enforce design compliance with continuous evaluation of network intents based on applications and services, aligning with enterprise standards and security policies to prevent outages and reduce operational costs, boosting customer satisfaction.

Configuration Drift

Enable continuous verification to detect unplanned and undocumented configuration drift due to human error and prevent downtime.

Design Intent

NetBrain’s Preventive Automation Dashboard shows when network intents have been violated, and which devices and paths may be involved.

Service Issues

By proactively maintaining the intended design goals, the number of network problem reports submitted to the service desk is greatly reduced

Early Warning Detection

Automate preventive actions for hybrid networks by translating them into application-focused designs. A Preventive Automation Framework offers proactive network monitoring and automatic health checks.

Probe for Anomalies

Create virtual probes via SNMP/CLI parser variable or triggered directly from external SIEM systems for monitoring and identifying problems.

Results At-a-Glance

A unified Preventive Automation Dashboard shows the alerts by the virtual probe and/or by the intents that are being impacted.

Proactive Scheduling

The Intent Timer runs intents at certain pre-defined intervals against established baselines across the entire hybrid infrastructure, edge to cloud.
