Dynamic Network Mapping

For enterprise networks, static maps such as Visio diagrams take a significant amount of effort to create and they can become obsolete quickly. Dynamic mapping is the next generation mapping automation technology, featuring:

  • Data-driven map automation – maps with rich details can be created instantly
  • On-demand map creation - each map is customized for the task at hand
  • Automatically updated – when the live network changes, maps can be updated accordingly

Automated Network Documentation:
  • To automate network documentation, NetBrain leverages a state-of-the-art discovery engine that discovers both network topology and the network design underneath. Any network change will be automatically captured by recurring discovery.
  • Network documentation is available in the following formats:
  • Diagrams in Visio format
  • Design documents in Word format
  • Inventory reports in Excel format

Map-Driven Network Troubleshooting:

Instead of typing commands into the CLI to figure out what’s happening, you can troubleshoot complex network problems in a map-driven environment from beginning to end. With this unique map-driven troubleshooting tool, you can:
  • Map a problem area instantly through on-demand mapping technology.
  • Visualize performance hotspots and up/down status directly through a color-coded dynamic map.
  • Analyze what’s changed in topology, routing, configuration and traffic flow.
  • Run Automation Procedures to immediately find errors and discrepancies.
