SOLUTION BRIEF NetBrain Intent-Based Automation Center (formerly Intent Library) NetBrain Next-Gen Platform NetBrain allows network automation to be applied to every problem, big or small, without complex programming or long expensive development cycles. It allows the expertise of your subject matter experts to be available when the SME themselves are not - a huge factor when it comes to scaling network infrastructures. The result is higher service availability, lower operational costs, shorter ticket duration, and more consistent problem resolutions. NetBrain’s Intent-Based Automation Center provides a continuously expanding library of pre-built expertise-based automation units ready to use right out of the box. These automation units address the most common scenarios seen in the vast majority of enterprises for event-driven response, such as those reported via a network helpdesk service ticket), as well as for proactive design-level compliance, security, and application performance support verifications. Examples of common problem diagnosis situations contained in the Intent-Based Automation Center: NetBrain Intent-Based Automation Center Design-Level Enforcement Event or Ticket Remediation Application Design / Feature / Technology / Security Network • Must-have or Forbidden Routes • Access errors • QoS and Multicast Rule validation • Configuration errors • Firewall rule/ACL validation • BGP or OSPF errors • Failover/Redundancy rules Incident & Feature Agnostic Device • CPU, Memory, Power • Host or Service Unreachable • Link utilization, Latency, Interfaces • Printer/Database Device unavailable • Device reachability • Permission restrictions Key Applications and Paths Application • Voice, Internet, VPN path • Data unavailable • DCI Paths • Voice Choppy • Other key application paths • Response Times Reduced The Intent-Based Automation Center is extensible as well. Through no-code mechanisms built into the Next-Gen platform, your own subject matter experts can create additional situation and site-specific automation routines without any coding and add them to the Intent-Based Automation Center. Any network engineer or operator can use the automation routines to quickly and accurately solve problems when they reoccur. Subject Matter Expertise becomes available when the subject matter experts are not! The NetBrain Intent-Based Automation Center is leveraged throughout the Next-Gen platform. When coupled with an ITSM/ITOM system, NetBrain’s triggered automation will draw from the Intent-Based Automation Center to implement the most useful set of diagnostics in response to specific events.
