NetBrain Next-Gen Business Value 4-10-23

NetBrain Next-Gen Business Value Hybrid cloud-connected networks must deliver the IT services needed by the business with the right level of connectivity, performance, and security control, while minimizing the cost and risk of doing so. According to Gartner, “the limited network automation in most enterprises creates bottlenecks in provisioning, and in incident resolution, while increasing the likelihood of human errors.” ¹ Network teams are understated, and according to Enterprise Management Associates, “more than 78% of IT professionals agree that network automation tools can mitigate that challenge." What is NetOps looking to do? • Reduce the risk of downtime by preventing network outages and degradations before they impact the business • Respond faster to network issues and reduce the time it takes to find and diagnose problems • Prevent security attacks by verifying intended security policies are in effect • Ensure application performance is maintained and prevent ‘slow app’ complaints • Prevent unintended consequences of change management • Gain end-to-end network visibility and analysis in real-time with dynamic mapping, a customizable report dashboard, and exportable reporting What NetBrain will do for you: • Protect fault tolerance investments, prevent configuration drift, and catch performance degradations early • Capture, replicate and trigger execution of automation to identify, diagnose, and resolve transient and repetitive issues fast • Continuously observe and verify that intended network security configurations and policies are in effect • Automatically ensure configuration changes align with network intent and future changes do not overwrite current changes • View and analyze the performance of application traffic paths across hybrid networks and provide automation for remediation • Auto-discover and dynamically map any hybrid network from edge-to-cloud in real-time The NetBrain Difference: NetBrain Next-Gen is the only Day-2 Network Automation platform that manages any hybrid network by capturing, replicating, and enforcing network design intents to eases problem diagnosis and maintain ideal network conditions. It reduces disruptions, proves network innocence, resolves issues quicker, protects the network from unintended consequences of change, enforces a network that’s secure by design, and meets every application’s unique needs to ensure the best performance.
