Continuous Network Assessment and its associated summary dashboard engine enable clients to automate their core operational processes, including incident troubleshooting, policy and rule enforcement, and change management. CNA allows customers to visualize the integrity of the network and its service delivery capabilities by answering questions like;

• What’s changed in my network and have my required configurations drifted?
• Is my network healthy and supporting each of the needs of our applications?
• Are my cloud services being delivered at the level needed by the business?
• Do I have security, NIST or CVSS vulnerabilities?
• Are past problems re-occurring anywhere in the network?”
• Am I running out of capacity anywhere across the hybrid network?

CNA continuously assesses and validates any number of points across the hybrid network, organizing these points into clear summary dashboards which can be created on the fly and then used to navigate every network investigation. These summary dashboards precisely visualize the status and where specific issues may be occurring, with natural groupings as needed.

“Release 3 introduces our Continuous Network Assessment technology which changes the way organizations approach network operations. It enables each problem incident, every policy and rule enforcement, and every change process to be addressed through automation,” said Song Pang, SVP of Engineering at NetBrain. “By leveraging our new CNA technology and our advanced summary dashboards, troubleshooting becomes collaborative and streamlined, outage prevention becomes a regular part of the standard operating procedures, and changes are made in a protected fashion. CNA changes the very fundamentals of how networks are operated, becoming machine-centric rather than continuing to be labor-intensive.”

Other major improvements included in Release 3:

• Virtual assessments: NetBrain can use extracted configuration data allowing sensitive and off-line infrastructure to be part of the network assessment process.
• Enhanced Intent Scheduler: Network assessment now runs more efficiently, aligning the frequency of polling to the critical nature of each part of the hybrid infrastructure.
• Intent Creation improvements: Significant updates to the no-code user interface to quickly build automation intents from the experience they already have.

Continuous Next-Gen Release 3 is available now and available to all customers with active subscriptions or maintenance contracts at no additional charge. For more information see: https://www.netbrain.com/new-release/
