What Is Intent-Based Networking (IBN)?
Modern networks support cloud, remote users, security controls, and critical apps — all at once. Managing that device by device? That’s where drift, outages, and risk creep in.Intent-Based Networking (IBN) changes the model.Instead of configuring individual devices, teams define what the network should achieve — performance goals, security rules, compliance standards. The system translates that intent into policies, automates deployment, and continuously verifies that the network behaves as expected.It’s not just automation. It’s automation with validation.Why It MattersIBN helps teams: Move faster without increasing risk Reduce downtime through continuous verification Enforce security consistently Improve application performance As networks grow more complex, manual operations don’t scale. Intent-based networking provides a closed-loop approach that keeps business goals and network behavior aligned.Full blog here:https://www.netbraintech.com/blog/what-is-intent-based-networking/
