Change Analysis Benefits A large percentage of Network Outages are change related  A 2010 Ponemon Institute study shows 51% of outages are caused by user errors  In 2014, Cisco released a study showing that 36% of network outages were change related  If it worked before, it is highly likely that the outage is change related NetBrain’s new Change Analysis functions improve an organizations ability to confirm change related outages by:  Providing the user easy to consume change related details » Timeline View and Device Badges  Automating the comparison process across multiple data sets  Allowing deep customization of change analysis functions 6 NetBrain Technologies, Inc. New Feature Guide: Enterprise Edition v5.4G1

Incremental Change Analysis – Visual Display  Server-side change analysis performed during Benchmarking provides instantaneous results.  Launched from the Change Analysis floating toolbar on a map. 7 NetBrain Technologies, Inc. New Feature Guide: Enterprise Edition v5.4G1

Incremental Change Analysis – Device Badges 1. Device Badges on Map provide a summary of changes per device 2. Hover over badge reveals change type summary 3. Select change to view specific change details 8 NetBrain Technologies, Inc. New Feature Guide: Enterprise Edition v5.4G1

Incremental Change Analysis – Detailed Display Device and Data Type context sensitive display shows full details of identified changes. 9 NetBrain Technologies, Inc. New Feature Guide: Enterprise Edition v5.4G1

Incremental Change Analysis – Time Line Display Color Coded Time Line Panel: Number and types of Changes per Map Device Badges and Timeline display can be filtered to focus in on specific change events. Granular filters selectable by Server-side Benchmark Task and individual data collection 10 NetBrain Technologies, Inc. New Feature Guide: Enterprise Edition v5.4G1

Incremental Change Analysis – Server-side Analysis • Enabled in the Server Benchmark Web Interface on the Workspace Server • Full customization of comparison attributes • Customization of comparison logic 11 NetBrain Technologies, Inc. New Feature Guide: Enterprise Edition v5.4G1
