NPCM business benefits
Improve efficiency – Create accurate network diagrams
on-demand for troubleshooting, regulatory compliance,
planning, change management and inventory reporting in
minutes, not weeks
Ease infrastructure management – Reduce
misconfiguration by up to 70%; for infrastructure that’s
too important and too complex to be managed manually
Reduce network outages – Reduce network outages up
to 30% with customized, automated audit reports; detect
policy violations before they affect service availability
Mitigate Risk – Accurately plan for changes - data
growth, data center migration, technology migration, and
new application deployment - without making changes to
the production network

What makes NPCM different?
NetAuditor provides a greater level of detail and customizability for
on-demand network diagramming and reports that can be easily
shared, and can be viewed from any internet-capable device.
NetPlanner has a high-fidelity network model that combines multiple
sources of data for a more complete understanding of the network and
more accurate predictions of network behavior and performance.
NetCollector has a uniform data model that supports multiple use
cases, with industry-leading, multi-vendor, deep network discovery
and collection at Layer 2 /3, and can infer physical, logical and virtual
relationships between infrastructure elements.

NPCM: Three Key Takeaways
Reduce network outages – Helps speed network
troubleshooting to reduce MTTR and ensure compliance.
Ease infrastructure management – Reduces time and
effort spent manually collecting and reconciling network
data.
Mitigate risk – Helps plan for network resiliency despite
network changes and growth over time.

NetAuditor/NetCollector – How it
works
Collect and process configuration and operational data
from the network using CLI and SNMP with
NetCollector
NetAuditor analyzes this data and creates a model of
the network for use in network troubleshooting,
automated diagramming, policy compliance, and
reporting
The changes to address the detected network
problems are created using the Provisioner module of
NetAuditor
Provisioner for SteelCentral NetAuditor Module pushes
the changes to the production network using
NetCollector and maintains a detailed record of the
changes made
