PAGE 14 NetBrain: Automating Problem Diagnosis The NetBrain PDA System has been designed from the ground up to work like business works, from the top- down and based upon results By detailing the intents of every component of the network, without the need for programming, the PDA System enables its users to align the network with the needs of the business more directly, rather than trying to manage networks using a device-by- device bottoms-up approach, so prevalent throughout the networking industry The PDA System offers a comprehensive automation engine which interacts with the intent-based digital twin data model It’s Intent-based automation can be applied; 1) automatically in response to external events, such as those from ITSM system ticket creation, 2) interactively, such as when an operator is resolving problems, or 3) proactively to assure desired network intentions are preserved By leveraging its library of pre-built automation units, the PDA System addresses up to 95% of the most common network service types And this library can be expanded by any subject matter expert to allow additional situation- specific best practices to be captured and shared easily Key Capabilities of NetBrain PDAs: • Top-Down network management by establishing the intention of each component • Intent-Based Automation, which can be triggered, interactive and proactive • Network intent and executable automation created without the need for programming • Establishes baselines, and compares subsequent observations to that baseline • Complete Edge-to-Cloud automation and visibility The NetBrain PDAs Difference
