Network Automation Library

Preventive Automation

NetBrain’s Preventive Automation continuously evaluates network intents and proactively identifies and addresses issues to prevent breakdowns and ensure that your hybrid infrastructure operates efficiently.

Since configuration drift and human errors often contribute to network disruptions, it’s essential to proactively validate that the network is functioning as intended. NetBrain Next-Gen enables your hybrid network to be described as a set of Network Intents that can be assessed individually or continuously, ensuring that the network delivers the service levels required by the business and its applications.

Capture

An advanced no-code engine captures the experience and expertise of your subject matter experts so it can be reused and shared across the organization.

Replicate

Capture your Network Intent once and then replicate it across all applicable devices.

Enforce

Assess Network Intents on the production network to pinpoint issues and other conditions that deviate from expected designs.

Outage Prevention

Most network operations strategies are reactive, focusing on resolving incidents only after they occur. While incident response is essential, the most effective strategy is prevention. NetBrain’s intent-based automation spots problems long before they affect production services. This proactive approach can prevent network outages, reduce the risk of downtime, and enhance service availability.

Reduce Costs

Proactive outage prediction and prevention is far more cost-effective than responding to them. When critical outages occur, significant premiums are incurred to restore business operations against the clock. By identifying issues early, NetBrain helps avoid reduced productivity and costly remediation.

Leverage Intents

Network Intent verifications run continuously to detect problems in real time before they impact production. This constant monitoring helps to detect unintended consequences and deviations caused by human error.

Service Delivery

Ensuring that the network directly supports each business-critical application and service is easily accomplished by enforcing Network Intents.

Design Compliance

Enforce design compliance by continuously evaluating network intents based on applications and services. By aligning with enterprise standards and security policies, you can prevent network outages, reduce operational costs, and boost customer satisfaction.

Configuration Drift

Enable continuous verification to detect unplanned and undocumented configuration drift due to human error and prevent downtime.

Design Intent

NetBrain’s Preventive Automation Dashboard shows when network intents have been violated, and which devices and paths may be involved.

Service Issues

By proactively maintaining the intended design goals, the number of network problem reports submitted to the service desk is greatly reduced

Early Warning Detection

Automate preventive actions for hybrid networks by translating them into application-focused designs. A Preventive Automation Framework offers proactive network monitoring and automatic health checks.

Probe for Anomalies

Create virtual probes via SNMP/CLI parser variable or triggered directly from external SIEM systems for monitoring and identifying problems.

Results At a Glance

A unified Preventive Automation Dashboard shows the alerts by the virtual probe, the intents that are being impacted, or both.

Proactive Scheduling

The Intent Timer runs intents at certain predefined intervals against established baselines across the entire hybrid infrastructure, from edge to cloud.

Prevent Network Outages With Ready-to-Use Automation

Traditional network operations react after the damage is done. With NetBrain, you can flag, address and resolve problems before they impact users. Our preventive automation changes the game by leveraging intent-based insights and our powerful Automation Library to proactively detect and prevent anomalies, enforce network intent, and minimize manual effort across your infrastructure.
