Network Management Automation

It is very hard to manage thousands of Cisco devices in a big network, so an automated network management tool becomes very important in the process of network management. The true is that few tools can achieve the goal that automates all process in network management.

Actually, there are several important network management processes need to be automated, these processes include: network diagram, network troubleshooting, network discovery, etc.

A tool that can automate network diagram will save a lot time for network engineers. We can see that many network tools are designed to meet this challenge, for example, Microsoft Visio, Edrawsoft, etc. However, most of these tools are based on static network diagram solution, and still need network engineers to pay a lot of time to adjust the diagram itself. When network changed, static network diagram cannot be updated in a short time is another serious problem. NetBrain Workstation is powerful at network diagram. By dragging and dropping a set of configuration files to NetBrain, a network diagram will be created instantly. Moreover, the map created by NetBrain is a dynamic network diagram and can be updated automatically when network change via a simple click. Click here to learn more about network diagram software.

Many network tools are chose to troubleshoot network problems. Many of them are perfect at data collection, however, most of them are displayed the network data in a table or some chart, network engineers cannot form a whole picture of the network. NetBrain Workstation is a map-driven solution and enables engineers to troubleshoot network problem based on a visual network map. By launching the monitor application, network engineers can view devices’ performance data visually on a map, these data include: CPU, Memory, Bandwidth, etc. Just like doctor diagnose patients based on an X-ray picture.

Network benchmark is important for any big network environment, so a tool that automates schedule network benchmark and perform in-depth network discovery is really essential. Countless success stories have proved that NetBrain Workstation is perfect in network discovery. NetBrain Workstation supports both Layer 2 and layer 3 network discoveries, all the devices discovered will be added into current workspace.  To learn more about netbrain network discovery, click here network discovery.
