NTT Advanced Technology (NTT-AT) has released a new version (Ver. 11.1) of its network visualization/automation & map-based management “NetworkBrain”.

The new version provides automated documentation, troubleshooting, and configuration changes using an automatically created network map as an interface. The work of creating network maps, which has been previously done manually, has been automated, and the information necessary for network operation, such as configuration, routing, status, and CLI command results, is visualized on the map, reducing the time required for troubleshooting. will be significantly shortened.

Conventional network monitoring only provides information that a single device is abnormal by monitoring the device’s aliveness and CPU and memory usage rates.In order to diagnose the health of the entire network service, it is necessary to log in to the network device. However, it was necessary to make decisions based on the results of executing multiple CLI commands.

The new version is a no-code network automation feature that manages networks based on intent and automates time-consuming diagnostics of network service health. Intent-based management capabilities can easily be extended across the network, providing continuous automated diagnostics of service health and a single-pane-of-glass dashboard to view results.
