NetBrain Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of no-code network automation and dynamic mapping solutions for hybrid-cloud networks, announced the launch of Next-Gen Release 12 (R12), a major update to its flagship platform. New capabilities include a GenAI LLM Co-Pilot to assess, orchestrate and summarize network automation results with natural language, and Golden Engineering Studio (GES), which can reverse engineer a network’s design rules and features. This new release helps improve operational efficiency, minimize risk and maximize network performance – all while achieving critical security and compliance objectives.

“The reverse engineering and auto-remediation capabilities make configuration cleanup and compliance management easier than ever.”

From Reactive to Proactive Network Operations with Reverse Engineering

R12’s new GES allows network and operations teams to analyze millions of lines of network configuration code to decode the live network’s configuration and state in minutes. Teams can discover these “Golden Configurations” and remediate any deviations on Day-1. GES can then be utilized to create no-code automation, as “Golden Intents,” to proactively verify the live network at scale – proactively preventing configuration drift, network outages and other security risks.

“Our early-adopting customers are in awe of the new reverse engineering capability within Golden Engineering Studio. Organizations often struggle to understand the intentions of the network’s original architects, which limits their ability to diagnose and address problems or anticipate the consequences of network changes,” said Song Pang, SVP of Engineering at NetBrain. “This helps them understand these intentions, detect problems and spot configuration drift before they cause outages.”

Reverse engineering is ideal for long-running network environments that lack consistent documentation because of many years of leadership and structural changes. It allows current network engineers to understand the design rules previously put in place and helps them generate thousands of no-code automations for efficient, compliant network operations at scale.

Proactive automation shifts NetOps from reactive remediation to continuous observability. This allows for greater focus on enhancing network operational efficiency to drive business innovation.

Faster problem diagnosis and auto-remediation with AI

Another major feature of R12 is the new AI-powered Co-Pilot, which allows users to ask questions in natural language for intuitive problem resolution improving troubleshooting, change management and observability workflows. The Co-Pilot can rapidly orchestrate NetBrain automations, use intent-based reasoning to chain different actions together, and return the diagnosis results in natural language or summarize them into other formats such as a table, map or dashboard.

This AI Co-Pilot functions as a technology translator for human users to interact with no-code automation without training. It acts as a virtual self-service option that allows other operations and security teams to gather network information, saving critical NetOps resources for higher-level activities.

“Humans no longer have to figure out how to fix network problems alone. The fixes are already built into reverse-engineered golden configuration templates,” said Pang. “The ability to troubleshoot network problems, protect it for safe changes, and have real-time observability for proactive network operations is a game-changer for our clients.”

Other updates included in R12:

  • Triple Defense Change Management: NetBrain R12 offers improved pre- and post-change validation that enables users to assess impacts to the network before, during and after network changes with GenAI. This prevents unintended consequences that negatively affect business-critical applications and services or introduce security vulnerabilities now and when making future changes. According to an EMA analyst report, 45% of network outages have root cause in configuration and change management errors.
  • Hierarchical dashboard with Geo Location: Layers tailored, map-based device visibility onto summary network dashboards across organizational levels — company-wide, regional and senior management. Clear red/green indicators for network health and direct auto-remediation capabilities help streamline decision-making and enhance operational efficiency.
  • Enhanced Ability for 3rd-Party Tools to Trigger Automations: NetBrain R12 upgrades integrations with critical 3rd-party tools like ServiceNow to execute network automations via API calls and retrieve execution results.
  • Intent Programmability: Expanded data type support and improved UI for ease of use.
  • Visual Parser Enhancements: New features for parsing and merging tables, and support for no-code API definitions.
  • Automation Data Table Improvements: New views give multiple options for diverse data browsing and enhanced table-building.

“I’m thrilled about the R12 release for NetBrain — especially the new AI Co-Pilot feature,” said Dennis McDougall, Director of Network Engineering and Operations at Boston University. “The reverse engineering and auto-remediation capabilities make configuration cleanup and compliance management easier than ever.”

NetBrain R12 is available on November 15 to all customers with active subscriptions or maintenance contracts at no additional charge.
