Consultant Edition Key Features
Network Discovery
The portable discovery engine inside Consultant Edition leverages similar technology as in the Enterprise Suite and Discovery Appliance. It not only discovers network devices, but also the underlying design of a network. Compared to the traditional discovery tools, the NetBrain discovery engine has:
- Faster Discovery Speed
Up to 2,000 network devices per hour
- Higher Accuracy
Nearly 99% accuracy with controlled multi-run discovery
- Broader-Coverage
Detection of MPLS clouds or DMZ isolated network segments, and over 4,000 models of network devices from many vendors
After discovery, all data is parsed into a comprehensive data model (workspace) and ready for further analysis. For more information, click the links below. (Note that each link will bring you to the description of a similar Operator Edition feature)
Configuration File To Model
Consultant Edition supports a local workspace where different customer networks are isolated from each other. Most of the time, users can build a local workspace through discovery. In the case that the live network is not accessible, Consultant Edition can generate a network assessment workspace simply from network configuration files. To further augment the model, users can import show-command results into the workspace.
A local workspace generated this way has similar capabilities to support network assessment automation as one generated via discovery.
On-Demand Mapping Automation
The foundation of the Computer-Aided Network Engineering (CANE) system is on-demand mapping automation. Consultant Edition leverages Qmaps created on-demand to define the scope of network assessment. In essence, each Qmap created inside Consultant Edition is a network assessment instance.

Document Automation
Using Consultant Edition, standard assessment documentation can be created with full automation. This includes:
- Professional grade Visio diagrams
- Customizable network assessment documents in Word
- Inventory reports in CSV format

Map-Driven Network Analysis
Consultants can leverage data-driven Q-maps with embedded knowledge to quickly understand a complex customer network. Map-driven analysis is the corner stone for the visual network assessment environment.

Visual Network Assessment Environment
NetBrain Consultant Edition provides a visual environment for all phases of the network assessment process - from network discovery to network analysis to assessment documentation. Automation eliminates a large number of manual tasks associated with traditional network assessment.
Consultant Edition has also made network assessment virtual with the support of both online mode and offline mode. When using the online mode, NetBrain is directly connected to the target live network. Under the offline mode, full discovery and benchmark provide a virtual description of the live network, enabling consultants to work remotely on large network assessment projects as if they were there locally.
