A Three-Pronged Approach to Network Automation
NetBrain’s Next-Gen platform features three vital aspects for No-Code Network Intents. Each feature of this intent-based networking software aims to democratize automation, streamline management operations, and enhance overall network performance.
Transforming Network Management With No-Code Intent-Based Networking
NetBrain’s Network Intents makes your network easier to manage regardless of the number of vendors and devices connected. Its no-code automation feature lets you create high-level business intents, allowing your network to self-manage based on your specifications and eliminating the need for manual configurations. Ensure your intended operational behaviors are met with NetBrain’s intent-driven networking tools.
No-Code Automation
Create automation workflows for your organization without the need for coding. Network Intents makes automation accessible for everyone, allowing organizations to better reallocate resources. NetBrain’s intent-based network automation enables network managers and experts to focus on more important tasks than mundane daily processes.
Real-Time Assessment
The Next-Gen platform continually assesses network components to verify specific operating conditions or statuses. With automated real-time monitoring, network managers can identify potential threats and vulnerabilities before they impact the business. NetBrain turns network operations from reactive to proactive.
Expert Diagnosis
Network Intents expertly codifies and automates the diagnostic steps taken by your network engineers during troubleshooting, change, and assessments. With automation, organizations can count on consistent and efficient responses to every network issue, helping reduce their mean time to repair.
Human-Level Logic
Next-Gen is an intuitive platform that applies human-level logic to real-time, historical, and baseline network conditions. Network Intents easily determines the success or failure of your intended outcomes, helping you mitigate potential issues before they happen. With this extra layer of reassurance, you can confidently implement network intents you know would work and meet your objectives.
Extensible Library
Network Intents allow users to populate and expand your network’s centralized and shareable Automation Library. Build a repository of your organization’s automated processes, which can be reused across different scenarios. Enhance efficiency and consistency among team members with an updated collection of your frequently used automation.
Scalable Automation
Replicate and reuse Network Intents throughout the NetBrain platform and across your network. Prevent outages, expedite troubleshooting, and avoid configuration drift during change management procedures. Manage large and complex networks for your organization with precision and efficiency.
Broad Device Support
NetBrain supports any traditional or virtual device from any vendor through its native command interface. Our wide range of compatibility allows our intent-based network architecture to be accessible to more users, making it an ideal choice for multi-vendor environments.
Seamless Integration
The Next-Gen platform seamlessly integrates with your current architecture, allowing users to implement a wide range of automation features without impacting existing workflows. Streamline your processes minus operational downtimes.
Top Network Intents From Users
NetBrain’s No-Code Automation offers top-notch versatility and reliability. It’s suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries. Below is a list of the top reported real-world use cases of No-Code Automation in customer infrastructures.
| Topic | Challenge | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance Validation for AWS EC2 Instances | Time-consuming to manually track EC2 instance configuration details. | Intents continuously assess each operating parameter across all instances. |
| Native VLAN Compliance Check | Identify trunk ports with non-compliant native VLANs on a regular basis. | Intents verify the configuration of trunk ports to detect non-compliant VLANs enabled. |
| # Days Since Interface Down | Manually identifying ALL/ANY inactive physical ports for service provisioning. | Intents assess the number of days since interfaces had active status. |
| Administrator password access compliance | Manually identifying device access security across the network. | Intents assess devices with password access violations across the entire network. |
| Proactive CISCO ACI Performance & Service Assurance | Widescale deployments of Cisco ACI include thousands of operating parameters that should be verified. | Intents assess the amount of available CPU and memory for the entire fabric. |
| Monitoring Transient OSPF Neighbor Flaps Using Log Analysis | Limited ability to detect transient flapping at scale due to size and complexity. | Intents continuously assess OSPF neighbor state changes over time |
| Failover and resiliency validation | Difficult to verify the entire failover architecture until it is too late | Intents assess availability and performance for all resiliency pathways; active and backup |
