NetBrain Open Session: Automation for Every Intent
The concept of “network intent” has generated a lot of discussions in networking and IT circles over the past few years, but what does intent actually mean for network uptime and smoother network operations?
As it turns out, intent means a whole lot – networks are not just clusters of nodes, but rather consist of thousands of intents, such as application paths, security policies, and so much more. In this open session, join NetBrain’s Sr. Technical Marketing Engineer, Chris Villemez and Rick Larkin, Manager, Pre-Sale Engineering as they discuss Intent-Based Automation and how this innovation helps users quickly build complex automations for verification, validation, and pre-emptive troubleshooting. During this session, they will also provide a brief demo that gives a view into the “art of the possible” with intent-based automation.
Rick is a seasoned technology professional with over 35 years of experience in Network and
Security Operations. Rick has experience working on complicated technologies and projects,
including the design and operation of data centers and trading floors of large financial institutions,
the design and operation of mission control centers for space, missile defense and DoD/Intel
agencies and the technical lead for a novel and patented solution for delivering ATM based service
over delayed and disrupted networks. He now leads a senior team of sales engineers for NetBrain, a
network automation solution.
