TOP 10 Use Cases Proactively enforce “good” 4 rules Everybody involved with the network — from entry-level NOC to C-suite — are under scrutiny to reduce Mean time to resolution (MTTR) and answer the question, “What can we do to step-up our NetOps plan?” or “How can we stop solving the same network problems over and over?”. NetBrain PDAS focuses on top-down, results oriented management. NetBrain empowers you to go from reactive to proactive by continuously looking for the existence of “good” conditions needed by apps. With NetBrain PDAS, every time a new app is deployed, the requirements are identified and the app’s network needs are recorded. The idea is good businesses run on good applications, and good applications run on good networks. NetBrain PDAS let’s you focus on maintaining “good”! Establishing golden 5 baselines, monitoring changes, identifying problems NetBrain PDAS auto-baselining understands “good” and then detects the anomalies that matter. Sophisticated algorithms discover, record, and analyze thousands of attributes per device and associated relationships — CPU utilization, memory collisions, BGP peers, throughput, etc. — to automatically learn what’s “normal” for your unique network. In fact, their may be thousands of baselines that matter based on the number of applications deployed. And while its impractical for an operational team to benchmark thousands of good intentions throughout every business day, it is trivial for the NetBrain PDA System to do so. So as your network changes, those changes are continuously tested against the very definition of good, and if problems have been introduced, actions can be taken. With golden baselines to compare to, you get alerted on any deviations BEFORE those change begin to affect production. The “normal” or “good” baseline serves as a tangible definition of the business “intents”, changing the paradigm of network management from device- level to business application level.
