NetBrain For Cloud

DATASHEET ® NetBrain for Public Cloud Automating Service Ticket Management for Hybrid Networks The Challenge Today’s enterprises are rapidly adopting hybrid Every detail about the end-to-end infrastructure is auto computing strategies that incorporate one or more discovered, and that comprehensive data set then public cloud environments. With almost 40% of all becomes the intelligent platform to facilitate change at computing workloads already being conducted in scale by leveraging “no-code required” automation. Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, it is becoming abundantly clear that the network Scaling Network Operations in Multi- operational management strategies that were put in Cloud Environments place for traditional infrastructures need to be re- imagined to fully embrace this cloud-based computing strategy. Public cloud delivered IT services can no longer NetBrain offers complete native support for all the major be treated as a fixed block box which is external to an public cloud providers and incorporates those structures organization’s strategic network operational plan. into its single view and automation control plane. Your Network operational teams already understand that the public clouds are no longer treated as a black box. And number of tasks associated with keeping production with this native support, you can scale your network networks up and running grows as computing capacity operations as your cloud-based computing strategy scales and its complexity increases. So, it is no surprise evolves, regardless of which cloud providers are chosen. that as cloud-based architectures are increasingly NetBrain supports hybrid, multi-cloud architectures with adopted as part of an enterprise’s computing strategy, detailed real-time understanding of: the means to manage the entire network infrastructure • All virtual private cloud and network resources must be re-designed to accommodate the hybrid • All accounts, subscriptions, organization, projects and network with end points inside the cloud.

NetBrain reduces ticket Seeing is Believing, the Real-Time duration by identifying the root cause through a dynamic map, which includes the public clouds, and Dynamic Map allows for collaborative remediation with any subject NetBrain visualizes your entire hybrid network in real matter expert all while building a repository for time as a map showing application dependencies automated resolution along the way. across clouds, software-defined and on-premises infrastructures. NetBrain Dynamic Map technology Leveraging Your Subject Matter Experts provides a single consolidated view of end-to-end NetBrain transforms your SME’s knowledge and operational data that is integrated with the cloud experience into no-code units of automation, which providers’ own native cloud monitoring, logging, and can then be leveraged in the future by anyone to solve billing tools. reoccurring network problems and execute repetitive NetBrain’s Dynamic Maps provide critical information tasks. NetBrain’s automation tasks are abstracted, so the about interface statistics and conditions of resources same action can be executed across any network, (e.g. CPU, memory, and storage). The Dynamic Map including the cloud, to attain the desired results. becomes the single pane of glass for data correlation for the entire network, spanning physical, software- defined, and public cloud infrastructure including virtual machines (AWS EC2, Azure VM and Google Cloud Compute Engine). And, you can extend this visibility to new devices and new people without tedious cloud querying. Amazon AWS Discover AWS public cloud resources, visualizing not only all AWS resources like TGW, VGW, EC2 but also topology and techniques like Direct Connect and Site-to-Site VPN used from on- premises to AWS cloud. This enables service tasks to be thoroughly investigated and automated best practices to extend into the cloud structures programmatically, ending any boundaries previously created by the public cloud.

Google Cloud Discover Google Cloud public cloud resources, visualizing not only all Google Cloud resources like Cloud VPC, Cloud Router, VM but also topology and techniques like Partner Interconnect, Dedicated Interconnect and Site-to-Site VPN used from on premises to Google Cloud. Map Multi-Cloud Traffic Flows with NetBrain’s A/B Path Calculator When it comes to operational tasks like troubleshooting application slowness, operational teams must be able to discover the hop-by-hop path the application takes. NetBrain’s A/B Path Calculator performs this analysis automatically, all the way from the public cloud to the network edge. This enables true end-to-end path calculation in hybrid and multi-cloud environment - even if both ends are in the public cloud! Mapping a multi-cloud traffic path with NetBrain requires only the endpoints (via IP or hostname). Its path logic assesses many traffic-forwarding characteristics like Security Groups and ACL across subnets, VPCs/VNets, Network Virtualization Appliance like firewalls, data center to cloud private connectivity, and more. In addition, NetBrain uses self-designed algorithm to calculate the NCT Virtual Route Table for VGW, Direct Connect Gateway, etc., which is not in the route table on the cloud console but provides more connectivity information for users. About NetBrain Technologies Founded in 2004, NetBrain is the market leader for NetOps automation, providing network operators and engineers with dynamic visibility across their hybrid networks and low-code/no-code automation for key tasks across IT workflows. Today, more than 2,500 of the world’s largest enterprises and managed service providers use NetBrain to automate network problem diagnosis, generate real-time documentation, accelerate troubleshooting, and enforce enterprise architectural rules. +1 (800) 605-7964 [email protected] Copyright © 2022 NetBrain Technologies, Inc.
