Change Analysis Benefits

  • A 2010 Ponemon Institute study shows 51% of outages are caused by user

errors

  • In 2014, Cisco released a study showing that 36% of network outages were

change related

  • If it worked before, it is highly likely that the outage is change related

A large percentage of Network Outages are change related NetBrain’s new Change Analysis functions improve an organizations ability to confirm change related outages by:

  • Providing the user easy to consume change related details

» Timeline View and Device Badges

  • Automating the comparison process across multiple data sets
  • Allowing deep customization of change analysis functions

Documentation Improvement Benefits

  • Understanding what is, enables what can and will be.
  • Easy access to up to date documentation significantly reduces mean time to

repair and ramp up time.

  • Network documentation is a common challenge to keep current.

Network Documentation is the stepping stone for which all network activities build on. NetBrain’s documentation improvements increase an organizations ability to:

  • Access search, map, and asset data from a tablet, smartphone or web

browser

  • Quickly lay-out and manipulate complex layer 2 topologies.
  • Visualize VRF support including duplicate IP and segmented MPLS

clouds

  • Ensure documentation is kept up to date in a clientless manner
  • Document advanced high-availability environments
