NetBrain provides users a no-code way to define a network design for a specific network device, design baselines, and verify design enforcement. It provides a way to document network design intent allowing other engineers to quickly understand the device’s design and baseline or normal state of a particular device. More importantly, it provides a way to validate and verify network design without any code. When a network problem occurs, one or multiple Network Intents are violated. In the postmortem stage of this problem, the violated NIs are coded and automatically monitored. The next time a similar situation occurs, it can be solved automatically significantly reducing MTTR.

NetBrain applies an adaptive intelligent automation toolkit to operational challenges in network management.

▪Intent-based automation (IBA): Network Intent is the first tool of its kind to document network intent for specific devices, predefining a baseline for normal behavior and automating verification for even the most complex network setups. Adaptive monitoring proactively takes immediate actions on network anomalies by executing those predefined network intents, speeding up troubleshooting to determine root causes instead of symptoms.

▪Low-code/No-code Automation: NetBrain introduces multiple tools to democratize the development of automation for network operations. These include the Visual Parser guided wizard for isolating critical data variables to build diagnostic automation faster. The robust no-code/low-code toolkit not only allows network engineers to quickly create advanced automation but also enables more people to develop the automation.

▪Feature Intent Template: The Feature Intent Template drives rapid and scalable automation development across the IT organization and accelerates automation creation and value. Operations engineers require flexible mechanisms that can scale to today’s multi-vendor, multi-platform environment. Feature Intent Template provides template-based feature decoding and automation building, enabling network operations team members to quickly scale automation across hybrid networks. This significantly increases the number of tasks and issues that can be addressed through automation.
