NetMRI

Automated Network Change and Configuration Management

NetMRI™ is a network management product focused on network change and configuration management (NCCM). It enables you to automate network change, see the impact of changes on network health, manage network configurations and meet a variety of compliance requirements. Offering physical and virtual appliance deployment options, NetMRI audits multi-vendor infrastructures, identifies anomalies early, speeds resolution and automates network changes, allowing you to do the following:

  • Determine how change impacts both network health and compliance
  • Maintain a predictable and consistent network with embedded best practices and proactive monitoring
  • Increase staff efficiency via automation, problem isolation and improved remediation options
  • Put a stop to user complaints and network issues
  • With a single click, generate reports to check your adherence to PCI, SOX and other regulatory compliance mandates as well as to internal policies

Instead of manually pushing and logging changes, like some network administration software, you can use NetMRI to automate network data collection, analysis and reporting of network infrastructure devices to greatly improve the efficiency and predictability of your network.

A Proactive and Automated Approach to Network Issues

Many organizations wait for network health issues to occur and then react. And most continue to manually handle network configuration, change and compliance requirements, even though manual changes cause 60% to 80% of all network glitches. As new technologies such as virtualization and cloud computing introduce even more complexity into network administration efforts, the old ways of dealing with network changes and configurations no longer suffice in business-critical network environments.

Infoblox NetMRI, however, uses automation,  control and proactive management to ensure that changes to the network achieve the intended results and find any unintended consequences before users are impacted and complaints start rolling in. NetMRI provides a complete lifecycle solution for managing network configuration and change that provides the fastest time to value for IT organizations.
