NetBrain Technologies announced platform enhancements that further integrate Agentic AI with intent-based automation to transform network operations.
This latest release in NetBrain’s Next-Gen 12 unlocks more AI-driven innovations to boost real-time observability and continuous network assessment. With a strong foundation of its live digital twin and new AI insights, enterprises can auto-discover devices and intents, build automations faster, and take advantage of industry-wide outage knowledge for a more resilient network.
“Integrating advanced network automation, with the power of new AI insights, into businesses’ IT environment helps their teams accomplish more with greater speed and efficiency,” said Song Pang, Chief Technology Officer at NetBrain. “It’s incredibly rewarding to see organizations transform their manual workflows and gain proactive observability to accelerate their outcomes.”
Further innovations include:
- Continuous Assessment with Knowledge Library: Enhances auto-discovery capabilities for network devices and intents while the expanded Golden Engineering Studio adds a new Golden Assessment Library, providing pre-built templates of industry-wide knowledge from Cisco (Business Critical Service) and other trusted partners. These ready-to-use assessments – with customizable no-code creation options – enable organizations to leverage industry-wide best practices, real-time CVE visibility, and outage, breach, and change learnings to deliver actionable insights to protect their networks.
- AI-Powered Network Insights: Combines Automation Insight (centralized automation console) and AI Insight (LLM+RAG-powered queries) as NetBrain Insight to deliver contextual, network-specific answers: from root-cause diagnostics to compliance and security validation – automating thousands of tasks in seconds.
- Next-Gen Runbooks: Packages intent-based policies, CLI, network maps, AI insights, and documentation into containerized troubleshooting and change automated workflow templates – enabling one-click deployment and auto-remediation capabilities for complex network operations.
- Kubernetes Support & Cloud-Native Expansion: Adds native Kubernetes discovery, topology mapping, and E2E path analysis alongside Azure Route Server support for hybrid environments.
NetBrain has also introduced the NetBrain Playground – a secure and fully customizable test environment that enables organizations to evaluate the capabilities of its no-code automation platform using their own network data, including the ability to generate a tailored network assessment in minutes.
The Latest
In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
