There was a time when a network could fit neatly on a Visio diagram—when teams could literally point to a problem on paper. Those days are long gone.

Today’s hybrid networks span data centers, public clouds, and countless vendors and versions. Static maps that once brought clarity now only add confusion—showing idealized snapshots of a network that no longer exists.

So where did things go wrong? The challenge isn’t visibility—it’s fragmentation. We’ve built a tool for every task, but none that connects the dots. The result: data overload, tool sprawl, and alert fatigue. We’re collecting puzzle pieces from different boxes, and a clear picture never emerges.

This article breaks down how to move from static maps to living network intelligence with NetBrain’s Intent-Based Digital Twin.

Inside the article:

• The ongoing operational crisis of tool sprawl and alert fatigue

• The shift from static diagrams to living intelligence

• How real-time visibility drives true business value
