  1. Our Methodology & Benefits Dynamic Documentation, Visual Troubleshooting, Change Assurance, & Automated Diagnoses NetBrain Technologies 15 Network Drive Burlington, MA 01803 +1 800.605.7964 info@netbraintech.com www.netbraintech.com

  2. NetBrain Features At A Glance NetBrain is the 1st map-driven automation software for network troubleshooting, change, and documentation. Dynamic Documentation Reduce Workload 20X Visual Troubleshooting 50% reduction in MTTR Change Assurance Prevent Outages Collaboration Single Source of Data “D.C.U.” “M-P.H.D.” “C.A.D.” “3Qs” Qmaps Share network specific knowledge including all probing, historical analysis, and Qapp Drill-down data. Discover Network Intelligently Discover device, topology and design of network Map Problem Areas Instantly Create a dynamic map of problem area Change Network Automatically Deliver or rollback a complex change with the push of a button Probe Live Network Visualize “what’s happening” inside a network Analyze Impacts Automatically Examine the network before and after the changes using CLI output comparison Create Diagrams Instantly Reduce from hours to seconds to create a feature-rich diagram Qapps + Exchange Automate heavily-lifting of CLI and process. Share how-to knowledge. Historical Analysis Analyze “what’s changed” across relevant devices Update Diagrams Automatically Say good-bye to out-of-date manual diagrams Document Automatically Once the change is done, the documentation is done as well Qmap Reader Share Qmaps with any user, even if they do not have NetBrain installed on their local PC Drill Down with Qapp Run hundreds of automated diagnosis to discover root cause Qmap Qapp Automation App

  3. Dynamic Documentation Automated documentation saves 20% of engineering time on average.

  4. Visual Troubleshooting with ‘Map-Driven PHD’ Everything starts with a map.

  5. Probe – Overall Health Monitor What is the Current Health? 80% of issues isolated

  6. Change Assurance If it worked before, what changed?

  7. Drill Down Need more data? Automate the heavy lifting!

  8. Description A purpose-built, executable application used to automate network activities Use Case: Convert any labor-intensive CLI task into a repeatable application Check CPU and interface errors across all Qmap devices, display results on a map, and set visual alarms Share standard isolation techniques with other engineers Qapp Overview

  9. Troubleshooting Process Qapp

  10. How Qapp Works NetBrain Workstation GUI to define Qapp Alert Qapp CLI command parser Chart Map Network

  11. Qapp Creation Process Objective: • Monitor the CPU performance of network devices. Create an alert message when CPU usage is higher than a certain percentage and highlight the device in red color in the map. Analysis: What to do with the variable(s)? Parser: Define Variable(s) CLI Command Retrieve Sample show process cpu One minute: $int:cpu1 Five minutes: $int:cpu5 Monitor it in the map Create an alert (visual and message) • Bos-Core1-Tr>show process cpu • CPU utilization for five seconds: 4%/0%; one minute: 5%;five minutes: 5%

  12. Typical Installation Timeline ~3Mbps per Network Server for discovery
