Our Mission:» Transform network management through visual network
automation.
Company Overview
o Founded in 2004, NetBrain is the first software provider to apply the concept of CAD to network management.
o Leveraging a unique map-based automation technology, NetBrain simplifies and reduces the efforts associated with:
Documentation
» Dynamic documentation is created in seconds and automatically updated when underlying network changes occur.
Troubleshooting
» Network visualization and automation empowers engineers to uncover problems in minutes instead.
Change Verification
» An automated approach to change management can eliminate outages caused by human-error to improve network availability.

Network Manager’s Perspective
I want to reduce time spent on documentation, and keep it updated automatically to increase reliability and
relevancy to our current needs
I want to reduce outages caused by necessary changes.
I want to transfer domain knowledge from the top down so less issues are escalated saving lost revenue and improving
customer satisfaction
I want resolve any change related outages in my allotted maintenance window so % availability is not impacted
““
Network Engineer’s Perspective
I want to transfer knowledge of new products and services quickly so I can move on to the next evolution project
I want all previous data collected when an escalation does occur so I don’t have to start from scratch
I don’t want to have to wait for a “future” release of a product to be able to get the information I need today
I want to be able to quickly understand what’s changed when isolating incidents that worked before but do not now
