NetBrain Technologies introduced its new ACE+ partner program combining cloud-hosted deployment flexibility with license scalability.
Backed by no-code automation and GenAI for enhanced reporting and insights, ACE+ is designed to unlock new revenue streams and accelerate partner growth.
The new ACE+ program gives partners everything they need to run automated network assessments for customers quickly and easily, including free enterprise support, training, and access to NetBrain’s full-powered automation and AI platform with flexible deployment models:
- ACE+ All-in-One (Desktop): Run assessments supporting up to 1,000 nodes directly from a laptop—no internet required. Perfect for large onsite demos and assessments.
- ACE+ Cloud (Partner-Hosted): For the largest global enterprises. Partners run the software on their own AWS or Azure cloud instances with truly unlimited scale. NetBrain provides the license and support; partners control the environment.
Fast creation of comprehensive network assessments turns partners into a more valuable resource for their customers in several ways. First, they show the real-world conditions and configurations of a network for analysis, planning and demos. Second, they can drive sales by revealing unknown problems and demonstrating the benefits of NetBrain’s platform. Finally, partners can build services on top of them.
“Our partners are eager to standardize on a world-class program for delivering network assessments,” said Brian Howard, Senior Director of North American Channel at NetBrain. “We are providing them with the tools to not only grow their business but also enable them to rapidly deliver comprehensive network assessments with gold-standard service to proactively prevent network outages for their customers.”
Benefits of automated network assessments include:
- Identifying hardware refresh opportunities.
- Finding security vulnerabilities or “ticking time bomb” misconfigurations with potential to cause network outages.
- Customers rarely have the time or expertise to conduct detailed assessments on their own, especially on large multi-vendor networks.
- Access to hundreds of pre-built automations that check for common issues like BGP stability, OSPF, Access Control Lists and Zero Trust violations through NetBrain’s Golden Assessment Library.
ACE+ is an unlimited, full-function, cloud-hosted version of NetBrain’s Next-Gen platform. Partners must register assessments with NetBrain as customer demos to access the program. There are no other restrictions on how partners can use assessments and no charge for any part of the program.

Until AI-powered engineering tools have live visibility of how code behaves at runtime, they cannot be trusted to autonomously ensure reliable systems, according to the State of AI-Powered Engineering Report 2026 report from Lightrun. The report reveals that a major volume of manual work is required when AI-generated code is deployed: 43% of AI-generated code requires manual debugging in production, even after passing QA or staging tests. Furthermore, an average of three manual redeploy cycles are required to verify a single AI-suggested code fix in production ...
Many organizations describe AI as strategic, but they do not manage it strategically. When AI plans are disconnected from strategy, detached from organizational learning, and protected from serious assumptions testing, the problem is no longer technical immaturity; it is a failure of management discipline ... Executives too often tell organizations to "use AI" before they define what AI is supposed to change. The problem deepens in organizations where strategy isn't well articulated in the first place ...

If AI is the engine of a modern organization, then data engineering is the road system beneath it.
