Intent-Based Network Automation

Network outages are a fact of life, but you don’t have to put up with them any longer. Too often, a blackout is the first time that the network operations team realizes the failover links have been mis-configured or no longer functional.

In this webinar, we’ll discover how network engineers can eliminate outages due to configuration changes across hybrid, multi-cloud networks with automation based on business and network intents.

Register now to learn how NetBrain’s Day-2 Network Automation solution empowers network operations teams to manage their networks by verifying their design intents directly support the business applications.

Learn how you can leverage NetBrain to:
- Capture network intent embedded inside failover design
- Continuously monitor the design intents
- Warn of configuration drifts

Investing in security products and services is just the beginning of any organization’s journey to secure their business. How do you know if everything is working as designed? How do you know if inadvertent changes have exposed the organization? Securing your network relies on many policies that enforce security borders and zones with firewall rules, access control, dynamic routing schemes, and edge access restrictions. In many cases, security degrades over time through configuration drift.

Join us to learn how you can make security enforcement a standard part of your network operations.

NetBrain’s intent-based automation automatically enforces all of your security intents across the entire hybrid network including:
- Protecting BGP routing tables
- Ensuring firewall HA configurations are mirrored
- Enforcing firewall and routing policies
- Ensuring separation of VLANS
- Limiting the transport of insecure protocols such as TELNET and FTP

Are you ready for your next network audit? Audit and compliance processes are typically executed infrequently, or just in time for an upcoming audit. Why? They are simply too difficult to conduct and do not have a high priority relative to the litany of other network operational tasks. And many times, network compliance projects are not tightly connected to larger security initiatives. Ultimately, your network design compliance is only as good as the next network update and without compliance, your next outage or security incident is just an errant key click away.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how NetBrain continuously enforces design compliance and security policy adherence with NetBrain by:

- Explicitly encoding best practice rules with Intent
- Proactively monitoring rule violation
- Mitigating security and performance risks

Everyone has experienced applications that seem unresponsive or are being reported as ‘slow’. It’s a common problem in large organizations and yet one of the hardest to diagnose. In fact, the most common resolution is to simply wait for the problem to dissipate on its own.

It all boils down to assuring that the network continues to deliver the services or intents that it was designed for, and these network intents can be continually verified.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how NetBrain captures the network design intents needed to power any digital business and then uses them to assess where performance issues may exist. NetBrain uses network intents to provide:
- A detailed understanding of traffic paths, forwards and backwards
- Monitoring of deviations between current network conditions and baseline intents

When business services are migrated to the public cloud, the need to manage those services continues just as it did when those services were provided in-house. In order to support these cloud-delivered services, network operators require visibility and control of the conditions underlying the cloud infrastructure. 
 
In this webinar, we’ll examine how NetBrain enables you to maintain design compliance and verify service delivery across public clouds by: 
- Capturing expected performance using network intents  
- Troubleshooting cloud infrastructure configuration 
- Verifying and enforcing the application-specific network intents which are in place  
- Automating incident diagnosis to pinpoint issues quickly
