NetBrain Solution for Cisco ACI
NetBrain + Cisco ACI: Better Together
Troubleshooting: Runbook automation equips users with automation, for troubleshooting, security, & change validation
Dynamic Map: Visualize ACI constructs alongside legacy networks, including logical and physical connection.
A/B Path: End to end path for the entire application, traversing through both legacy networks and ACI fabric.
