80% of network outages are caused by change

There’s a smart new arrival in the world of network configuration and change management (NCCM), and it’s changing everything for the better.

Spot the difference

Every time something changes in your network, NetMRI from InfoBlox can tell you where and how the change was made, and what effect it has had – or may have – on network performance.

The enemy: change

The chances are you already know that change is the single biggest enemy of trouble–free network operation.

In fact, you have probably been using some form of network management and fault finding application for a long time. The trouble is, there is a limit to what it can do and applications like these often give you more questions than answers.

An eye on the future

NetMRI goes beyond the conventional limits of legacy solutions to help you detect exactly where problems in the network lie. Better still, it keeps a continuous monitoring eye on your network to alert you to potential future problems as well.

By automating so many management and monitoring processes, NetMRI addresses three key business issues:

• Understanding the impact of change

NetMRI helps to identify the hard–to–find sub–optimal configurations that might not impact your network health today, but could cause havoc tomorrow.

• Enforcing compliance and standardisation

With NetMRI, it is easier to define and enforce internal and external regulatory standards and policies. More importantly, NetMRI proactively monitors the network and notifies you when a change takes the network out of compliance.

• Doing more for less

Your team spends less time collecting and analysing change information because NetMRI provides the right level of visibility and capability, as well as allowing for immediate resolution of any current or future problems.

Risk is reduced because NetMRI allows you to control change and understand the who, what, when, and where. Instead of following manual processes, NetMRI helps you apply standards and report on them, so you can achieve predictability in the network through consistent configuration. By identifying issues faster, verifying the cause and resolving the problem, NetMRI improves efficiency and reduces the impact of change on the health of your network.
