Actively tackle challenges in managing heterogeneous networks, leveraging SDN solutions like ACI to enhance agility and ensure robust cloud visibility for effective multi-cloud management.
Cloud Visibility and Automation
NetBrain extends network visibility from the endpoint to the public cloud and everything in between. NetBrain has native support for your multi-cloud infrastructure (Amazon Web Services/AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform/GCP), traditional networking infrastructures, and software-defined WAN and SDN deployments. API integration provides a single pane of glass for diagnosing SDN and cloud networks, overlaying color-coded diagnostic information on maps for quick troubleshooting with relevant connectivity details.
Cloud Network Observability
Configuration Observability
Observe cloud configuration changes via a dashboard to view intent details and specific alterations.
- Ensure approved configuration changes are implemented correctly while uncovering unexpected alterations.
- Automate ongoing assessment of network configuration changes to ensure cloud provisioning, like NSG and firewall rules, complies with the golden configuration template.
- Observe specific network config change status.
Cloud Resource Health Status Check Observability
Continuously verify cloud infrastructure health status to ensure network compliance.
- Monitor multi-cloud resource failures and health status in a single panel with customization.
- Enable health checks from the automation library for issues like VPN downtime and LB backend failures.
- Track dynamic data (CPU/Memory usage and traffic throughput) against thresholds and historical trends, with customization.
AI-Assisted Observability & Auto-Remediation
Cloud Application Assurance Observability
- Facilitate troubleshooting, assessment, and change workflows for cloud issues, such as VPN outages.
- Continuously assess application path-based security, health, interconnect metrics, and overall application performance.
Cloud Connectivity Assurance Observability
- Regularly check cloud connections and links for up/down status and metrics, like bandwidth and throughput, to ensure connectivity quality and health.
Cloud Multi-layered Security Observability
- Evaluate cloud security posture across Network, Server, Data, and Application layers.
- Continuously monitor the cloud using multiple security measures for defense-in-depth.
- Enable resource security checks from a built-in automation library.
Cloud Cost Analysis Observability
Analyze cloud costs and billing at the network layer to uncover savings.
- Use Cost Explorer to review detailed expenses and identify anomalies, like unexpected data transfer spikes.
- Leverage Cost Advisor for resource optimization recommendations, including removing unused assets and downsizing over-provisioned instances.
Auto-discover Your End-to-End Hybrid SDN (Software-Defined Network)
Manage the Complexities of SDN Fabric
- Deeper visibility and the ability to make SDN knowledge shareable and executable as automation expands SDN expertise throughout the organization.
- Create a Digital Twin of the entire heterogeneous network using real-time configuration and forwarding information gathered via CLI, SNMP, or API for SDNs.
- “Shift Left” SDN incident response by initiating root cause analysis and resolving datacenter issues earlier in the network support lifecycle to dramatically reduce MTTR.
- Make worry-free network changes to your hybrid datacenter with automated execution, validations, and rollback.
