Infoblox-datasheet-netmri-March2013 NetMRI 1 Business Benefits • Detect and automate net- work changes, and see who changed what, where, when and assess the impact of changes on the health and stability of the network • Reduce guesswork with complete discovery, dynamic inventory and a view of all network devices, network constructs, their dependencies and topology • Identify suboptimal configura- tions with intelligent analysis of device configurations before problems arise • Ensure consistency and minimize time to prove compli- ance with built-in regulatory standards and customizable compliance reports • Improve capacity management and rogue device detection Reduce Risk and Improve IT Efficiency by Automating Network Configuration and Change Management Today, up to 80% of network problems are caused by change—mistakes made when manually changing devices, setting poor configurations that cause problems later and using inconsistent standards. New initiatives, such as virtualization, cloud computing and IPv6, are only adding to the challenge. While new virtual servers can be spun up and down in a matter of minutes, the network infrastructure supporting these dynamic environments typically requires days and weeks to change—properly. NetMRI is the world’s leading multi-vendor network automation solution. It includes the functionality of Infoblox Switch Port Manager and Automation Change Manager and adds functionality for change and configuration management and compliance enforcement. With hundreds of built-in rules and industry best practices, it automates network change and configuration management, intelligently manages device configurations and reduces the risk of human error. NetMRI is a key solution for managing dynamic and complex environments, such as virtualized and cloud networks, and provides management support for IPv6 deployments. With automation for both physical and virtual devices, NetMRI gives your network the power to keep with pace with rapidly changing network components. With tight integration with the Infoblox Trinzic DDI solution, users can leverage the auto-sync with the IPAM database and implement changes faster with the Automation Task Board. Complete Network Change and Impact Analysis NetMRI detects and tracks all network changes—including who changed what, where and when, and the impact of changes—and saves every historical device configuration with easy side-by-side comparisons. This automated network solution also includes embedded jobs, scripts and customizable templates to help you move away from manual CLI-based changes. NetMRI leverages hundreds of standards and industry best practices to understand and correlate the impact of change on both network health and compliance. Instead of assuming a change works, NetMRI detects the change and completes an automated analysis to identify variances from correct configuration and vulnerabilities to the stability of the network. Auto-generated issues, graphical summaries and the unique Network Scorecard highlight whether changes have a positive or negative impact on the network. The dashboard view highlights the impact of change over time on both network health and network compliance and stability
