Product Description

The NetBrain Problem Diagnosis Automation System enables organizations to accelerate the remediation of network problems at scale by applying no-code automation to problems of any size and complexity. By applying our digital twin and dynamic mapping technology along with our ability to describe any hybrid network by intents rather than individual device characteristics, the NetBrain PDAS solution will address up to 95% of all service tickets, while also proactively applying abnormality detection to prevent up to 50% of all problems from occurring.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

NetBrain uses intent-based technology to enable both proactive and reactive network automation in the context of it's applications. While most solutions manage from the bottom up, device by device, NetBrain focuses on automation problem prevention and remediation by leveraging these Network Intents. And NetBrain's automation leverages our vast automation library which have solved dozens of the most common problems which can then be applied to any environment. With NetBrain, any network is described as the compilation of all of it's application specific network intents, rather than merely by the list of devices involved.
