Get seamless visibility into your entire network, end to end, without having to hop between consoles. See your SDN and non-SDN infrastructure as a single holistic network, and quickly visualize all interconnections.
Dynamically map hundreds of live application paths hop by hop through the Cisco ACI fabric as well as non-SDN infrastructure. One-click historical analysis compares how traffic flowed at any given point in the past.
With one click, decipher SDN’s layers of abstraction and virtualization overlaid on top of the underlying infrastructure. Automatically built views decode network design, regardless of technology, and instantly locate the logical structure.
Toggle on/off any virtually any network information available from the SDN controller, CLI/SNMP, or other NMS tools (24×7 monitoring, ticketing system, NetFlow analyzer, etc.). Quickly decode SDN design, see traditional routing configs, or correlate monitoring alerts.
No need to pull in app or server teams to troubleshoot SDN. Without leaving the map, any engineer can run automated diagnostics across physical and virtual environments. Just point and click to analyze hundreds of potential issues in seconds.
Empower everyone on the team to take on SDN with confidence. Document your experts’ tribal knowledge — the subject matter expertise that otherwise lives only inside their heads — and make it executable through Runbooks for seamless operational hand-offs.
As soon as an issue is detected in the SDN environment, NetBrain kicks into action to automatically map the problem area and run diagnostics. You don’t even have to be around — all results will be waiting for you right on the map.
Resolve the problem even faster next time by “closing the loop” in your troubleshooting workflow. Proactively monitor for now-known problems elsewhere. And enhance your event-triggered diagnostics to incorporate post-mortem lessons learned.
