Automated Network Assurance

NetBrain's no-code, fully automated network assurance platform empowers network and software engineers to proactively detect issues, manage changes, and verify that the network always operates as intended, without requiring complex coding. Combining intent-based automation, real-time mapping, and continuous validation accelerates troubleshooting, reduces downtime, and ensures efficient operations across hybrid multi-cloud and multi-vendor networks. At the application level, these capabilities extend to validating and managing the specific traffic paths critical applications rely on for optimal performance. With automated network assurance, NetBrain ensures that the network intents are met and that they support business applications by automating network operations, troubleshooting, and change management.

Application Assurance

Among our suite of network automation tools found within our turnkey platform are NetBrain’s Application Assurance features, designed to ensure optimal performance and reliability for business-critical applications. NetBrain’s network application assurance capabilities maintain connectivity and alignment with network “gold standards”, inlcluding Golden Paths. They let you proactively map, monitor, and validate traffic paths, detect deviations, and verify applications against intended designs.

By providing continuous visibility and control over application traffic paths within hybrid-cloud networks, network architects and engineers can enhance efficiency, prevent disruptions, and reduce manual workloads.

Continuous Validation of Application Traffic Paths

Tackle the challenge of seamless application performance by centralizing all application paths, continuously validating their performance against golden paths, detecting network changes and setting alerts. Monitor all application paths in one dashboard to safeguard against performance issues and disruptions, ensuring consistent connectivity and health.

Key capabilities include:

  • Specify applications
    Quickly define all applications and their intended paths.
  • Define golden paths
    Save intended “Golden Paths,” including their behaviors.
  • Map paths
    Application paths are automatically mapped hop by hop across multi-vendor, hybrid-cloud networks.
  • Benchmark paths
    Visualize live, historical, and current baseline application paths against the Golden Path to discover deviations.
  • Visualize application paths
    Visualize live, historical, and current baseline application paths against the Golden Path to discover deviations.
  • Application manager dashboard
    View all application path statuses, including
  • Application path notifications
    Generate email alerts to specific teams for path performance problems or deviations to address before causing service disruptions.

Protect Business-Critical Application Paths

Manage, monitor, and verify all application path conditions in a single location.

Ensure Consistent Application Performance

Network application assurance delivers several key capabilities that let you instantly identify and resolve issues with automated checks and intelligent insights:

  • Proactively Troubleshoot
    Quickly troubleshoot and diagnose every application path to ensure each performs as designed.
  • Auto-Trigger Path Diagnosis
    Automatically trigger NetBrain to auto-diagnose application path issues from integrations with ITSM tools like ServiceNow.
  • Obtain Path History
    Get a history of all automated checks over time for all paths in a single location and view historical path changes to query and review anomalies.
  • Export Reports
    Obtain a full report on each path and an Excel file for independent processing and archiving.
  • Maintain Compliance
    Maintain network compliance through scheduled application traffic path verifications that detect state, performance, and configuration changes.
