Network configuration management is crucial to the security and reliability of multi-platform and multi-vendor hybrid networks. With the Golden Engineering Studio, NetBrain ensures security and software engineers have the tools to streamline network golden configuration and change management processes. Demystify your network with efficient change management procedures.
Auto-Discover Your Network’s Golden Designs
Auto-Generate Golden Assets
Schedule Continuous Assessments
Apply Automation to Operations Workflows
Maintain consistent configurations across your network to eliminate security risks, compliance gaps, and costly outages. NetBrain’s Golden Engineering Studio (GES) enables you to:
Generates Golden Configs and Golden Intents by packaging rules, reference clusters, and fixes into automation to run Golden Assessments continuously.
Your network’s DNA is defined by its features, not as 1,000 devices, but as 10,000 intents. QoS, multicast, HSRP, failover—today, these are configured device by device.
NetBrain automatically reverse-engineers your network to discover device features and configuration rules. Its rule discovery engine identifies unique network rules and pinpoints which devices leverage them, allowing you to quickly detect issues caused by configuration drift on Day 1.
Build Automated Assessments at Scale Without Scripting
NetBrain effortlessly converts complex configurations into actionable intents, eliminating manual management of thousands of design rules. Through automated golden assessments, thousands of intents protect your critical infrastructure and seamlessly maintain peak performance.
A downloadable pre-built assessment library containing ready-to-use assessments, including assigned reference clusters that group information by keywords and device criteria (such as type, model, version, site, GEO, keyword, and configuration). This library is built on industry-wide knowledge from Cisco (Business Critical Service), NetBrain, and trusted partners, and is integrated into the centralized Golden Engineering Studio to provide ‘herd immunity.’ These assessments help you learn from past outages and industry best practices, providing actionable insights to improve your network’s reliability and performance.
For each assessment feature, the system groups like devices using keywords/device criteria (type, model, version, site, GEO, keyword, config) into clusters and assigns reference devices with golden designs for each cluster.
For example, for BGP devices, users can define a keyword, router bgp $as to find the BGP AS number, $as, from the configurations and use the value of $as as the Eigen-Value to divide the BGP devices into clusters (each cluster has the same $as number).
Select or ask the system to choose a reference device for each cluster. The reference device’s configurations will be used as the golden config to check against all other devices in the cluster.
Automate your network operations workflows to achieve business goals faster and more efficiently. Equip your experts with NetBrain’s network configuration utility to optimize your processes, improve resource allocation, and minimize human errors. Innovate your systems to free up your team from mundane tasks so they can focus on what matters most.
