SOLUTION BRIEF Managing Application Delivery by Network Intent Validate the Golden Path NetBrain automatically calculates possible traffic paths once a desired network path is defined and operators can manually designate or let NetBrain intelligently calculate one path out of the many potential paths as the “Golden Path”—the optimal and preferred path the application traffic should take. If the active path changes away from the Golden Path due to unexpected network failures or even change windows with unintended results, Application Assurance highlights the problem and notifies operators to take corrective action. Automated monitoring and troubleshooting With Application Assurance, network health verifications are executed regularly or as part of change management tasks or even when triggered by external monitoring tools like ServiceNow or Splunk. This proactive monitoring can be set to provide alerts or reports greatly reducing incident MTTR or preventing production incidents altogether. Unified Dashboard NetBrain’s Application Assurance’s dashboard, Application Manager, displays all your applications and their network paths and intents on one screen. All traffic paths are organized by applications or services. With NetBrain Application Assurance, you can view The dashboard provides the status of path and intent checks, statistics on failed or changed paths, and filtered one place to ensure rows based on results. NetBrain enables operators to perform network investigations the network consistency quickly with path calculations and mappings, creation of new applications and paths or required by importing and exporting of application and path data. The dashboard provides one applications place to ensure the network consistency required by applications. Historical Change Visibility Application Assurance allows operators to see a complete history of all the automated checks that it continuously performs at regular intervals over time. This provides operators the ability to quickly troubleshoot and diagnose application performance at the traffic flow level.
