    NetBrain

    NetBrain

    NetBrain Technologies

    To maintain the same levels of uptime and respond to issues across their hybrid infrastructure, IT Operations teams need better visibility. For large and dynamic environments, manual methods of documentation no longer cut it… automation is a must. NetBrain discovers and decodes the entire hybrid infrastructure to let you automatically map the network end-to-end, allowing you to manage it from a single interface. With NetBrain, you dynamically visualize each aspect of your traditional network – the data center, campus, or WAN – from both a layer-3 and layer-2 perspective. Different tasks require different visibility. If you’re troubleshooting a slow application, you need to know the path it takes across the network… for a design assessment, you may need to see routing configuration or status of BGP peers… for a security audit, you might need to validate traffic filtering matches the intent. Finding answers through the CLI is inefficient and time-consuming.

    Men&Mice Micetro
    Powerful digital networks form the undisputed foundation of all modern business, communications, industry, transport, government, health and education and social activity. To most of us, these networks are as invisible and unappreciated as the inner organs that keep our bodies moving, breathing and living. We only take notice, often quickly and painfully, when they stop working. Each network’s functional reliability is determined by the split-second interplay of the critical network trinity: DNS, DHCP and IP Address Management, also known as DDI. Too often network outages or expensive downtime can be traced back to incidents related to the functioning within, or interaction between, these DDI components. While the quality of machines and technology can be said to drive network capacity and capability, it is a network’s DDI design and administration that determines its efficiency, connectivity, and security – and often makes, or breaks, a company’s performance.
