What is Network Query Engine? [5 min]

Users can start querying their network without knowing which vendors are present and search for what to report on without worrying about the different ways to capture and parse this information in a multi-vendor environment. Now operators can access to normalized and structured data that is easy to consume and answer questions that were next to impossible to answer without access to this structured data.
