Visual Cloud Management
4 | Network Automation: The Next Frontier of Network Management
Collaboration with newly
created Cloud Team
Application and services span
entire hybrid network
Cloud Introduces New Network Operational Challenges
Cloud Specific data creating
additional data silos
Network operations teams are forced to
operate differently, depending on
whether the networks they are managing
are in the cloud or on-premises.
----- Gartner1
“
Cloud is a black box
5 | Network Automation: The Next Frontier of Network Management
NetBrain Visual Cloud Management for AWS and Azure
▪ Auto-discover and document hybrid cloud infrastructure
▪ End-to-end visibility via dynamic map
▪ Map application dependency across physical, SDN, and
public cloud network
▪ Map functions as consolidated resource view via
integration with other cloud tools
▪ Troubleshoot via runbook automation to reduce MTTI &
MTTR
6 | Network Automation: The Next Frontier of Network Management
Auto Discovery & Inventory
NetBrain auto-discovers cloud infrastructure to provide:
▪ Inventory, tracking, and measurement of every
resource object or infrastructure node
▪ Topological visibility for every public cloud resource
▪ End-to-end visibility for hybrid networks, from campus
to private cloud to multi-cloud
▪ Real-time path analysis, metrics, and data views for
your cloud and hybrid infrastructures
▪ Runbook Automation for hybrid cloud troubleshooting
7 | Network Automation: The Next Frontier of Network Management
End-to-End Pathing Across the Entire Network
▪ Discover and map the end-to-end application path from on-prem network to the public cloud or vice versa.
▪ Quickly visualize path-effecting data such as security group or Network ACLs to block or allow traffic
Multi-Cloud from Azure to AWS
LAN to AWS
8 | Network Automation: The Next Frontier of Network Management
Consolidated Resource View for 3rd Party Cloud Management Tools
▪ Integrate with cloud-native monitoring tools and 3rd party cloud monitoring/logging/billing management tools
▪ Automatically hyperlink helpful 3rd-party resources to use when troubleshooting cases

Network Features
Your network is not just made of devices but is made of thousands of intents. Automating through intent allows NetBrain usersto achieve more complex automations at scale.
11 | Network Automation: The Next Frontier of Network Management
10,000s of Intents on 1,000s of Devices
1,000 Devices10,000 Intents
‘DNA’ of the network device(QoS, Failover, Multicast, etc.)
? How do we validate the most important network intents?
SJC-WAN02 CPU 5-min average should be below 40%
SJC-WAN02 only permits AAA authenticated users to access
CLI
SJC-WAN02 primary global VRF BGP Internet next-hop is
AT&T
BOGON security filter must exist inbound for all Internet
interfaces
Outbound QoS policy drops VOIP traffic last
VLAN100 interface should be HSRP state standby
MTU for all Core-facing interfaces should be 9000
bytes
All WAN interface output error counts should be zero
Guaranteed security and performance outcomes

Network Intent
!
New adaptive monitoring system that scales to validate intents from your entire network.
Adaptive monitoring system captures network problems such as transient issues (e.g. link utilization spikes and
routing flapping) and other issues such as config change and failover.

Decision Tree To Automate Static Playbooks
▪ Decision tree leverages Adaptive Monitoring to trigger NetBrain automation
▪ Replaces manual playbooks with proactive automation
▪ Enables multi-threaded diagnostic automations
▪ No-code development enables the entire team to build automated diagnostic processes

C. Collaborative Incident Management
NetBrain Incident | SmartCLI | Incident Portal
16 | Network Automation: The Next Frontier of Network Management
Incident trackers lack topology
data and detailed diagnostics
Collaboration inefficiencies slow
problem resolution
Incident Based Collaboration
Difficulty in documenting
findings for future use
Siloed network operations groups…are
the norm, limiting cross-functional
alignment.
----- Gartner Research
“Barriers persist in bringing in
expertise from other teams
17 | Network Automation: The Next Frontier of Network Management
Three Main UIs for Incident-based Collaboration
3
1NetBrainIncident
2IncidentPortal
3SmartCLI
1. NetBrain Incident – Collaborate over
a Dynamic Map in real-time
2. Incident Portal – Securely share
access to an incident page to
collaborate with non-NetBrain users
3. SmartCLI – Associate isolated CLI
data with an incident to start a
collaboration session
18 | Network Automation: The Next Frontier of Network Management
NetBrain Incident Pane
- Creates incident with a unique identifier for each complex ticket or task- Record and centrally track all data and findings for any complex network problem - Includes real-time communication and collaboration functionality for all network engineers

Incident Portal provides access to NetBrain Incident for any Engineer

NetOps uses the portal to share incident details/dynamic map with non-NetBrain users/people outside of the team (such as CloudOps or applications teams).

D. No-code/ Low-code Automation
Visual Parser | Feature Intent Template
22 | Network Automation: The Next Frontier of Network Management
NetOps – DevOps
Collaboration is
time-consuming
Network engineers may not
have necessary coding skills
No-code/Low-code Automation Addresses Challenges of Scale
Number of network tasks
needing automation is
huge.
The ultimate benefit of low-code
automation is to democratize network
management.
--------- Gregory Webb
Forbes Technology Council
“Automation for multi-vendor
networks is increasingly
difficult.
23 | Network Automation: The Next Frontier of Network Management
