NetBrain Technologies Inc., a no-code automation platform for hybrid network observability, has introduced its new ACE+ partner program which combines cloud-hosted deployment flexibility with license scalability and allows partners to run automated network assessments. It’s backed by no-code automation and generative AI for enhanced reporting and insights, the company said.
The all-in-one channel program includes cloud and desktop licensing options, plus a library of pre-built automations with free, full-platform access. The desktop option, ACE+ All-in-One, allows partners to run assessments supporting up to 1,000 nodes directly from a laptop without any internet requirement. The partner-hosted option, ACE+ Cloud, is intended for large global enterprises. Partners can run the software on their own AWS or Azure cloud instances with unlimited scale, the company said. Under this option, NetBrain provides the license and support, while partners control the environment.
Network assessments show real-world conditions and configurations of a network for analysis, planning and demos. They can identify hardware refresh opportunities as well as find security vulnerabilities. The NetBrain platform includes access to hundreds of pre-built automations that check for common issues like BGP stability, OSPF, access control lists and Zero Trust violations through the company’s Golden Assessment Library, officials said.
“Our partners are eager to standardize on a program for delivering network assessments,” said Brian Howard, senior director of North American channel at NetBrain. “We are providing them with the tools to not only grow their business but also enable them to rapidly deliver comprehensive network assessments with gold-standard service to proactively prevent network outages for their customers.”
Another benefit is time savings, with the automated platform able to assess in minutes what could take a large enterprise hundreds of hours to manually check thousands of devices, the company said.
ACE+ is an unlimited, full-function, cloud-hosted version of NetBrain’s Next-Gen platform. Partners must register assessments with NetBrain as customer demos to access the program. There are no other restrictions on how partners can use assessments and no charge for any part of the program, officials said.
