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.
