TOP 10 Use Cases Reduce human error– 8 induced outages, through change automation Over 50% of all unplanned downtime can be traced back to some network unintentional change. It’s because most NetOps plans are still confined to device-by-device actions, without any ability to check how one action impacts everything else. That is where NetBrain PDAS shines! It changes management to a top-down, outcome or intent-based approach- all but eliminating the need for operators to interact free-style with individual devices. And since they are not managing devices individually, the chance of making human errors is greatly reduced. And while changes are made to accommodate new applications or changes to underlying technologies, the PDA System’s enforcement engine assures that the design intentions of all existing applications are maintained as well. The NetBrain PDA System continuously checks the hybrid network to assure the application will perform as designed. In a nutshell, NetBrain PDAS empowers you to define changes interactively, deploy them automatically, and proactively verify the impact on your business applications. And your teams can roll back with a single click if necessary, and even proactively troubleshoot the change before it becomes a disaster. Leverage your SMEs’ 9 knowledge, even without your SMEs! Are you dependent on a limited number of subject matter experts who have most of the specialized know-how locked inside their heads (think: SDN, QoS, MPLS, 5G, and Cloud)? Does solving those kinds of specialized problems manually snowball into time-consuming support tier escalations sitting in backlog queues? Imagine what that same scenario would look like if all of your hybrid network topology detail (including the cloud) was available in real-time at the touch of a button and if the problem-solving knowledge of your most capable SMEs had been captured when THEY previously solved a similar problem. Think how quickly and easily that service ticket could be resolved if you had all of that at your fingertips. That’s NetBrain PDAS.
