I love cooking. I find it to be a very creative outlet. I enjoy being able to combine various ingredients, which each add a specific flavor, color, and even texture. When these ingredients come together in a complementary way, it can result in a tasty, satisfying dining experience.
If you think about it, network operations troubleshooting is not much different. Isolated data sets from various siloed tool sets are like the separate ingredients in a recipe. Before you start blending and cooking with these ingredients, you only have very limited visibility into overall network health. Further, if you’re missing ingredients, your meal will not turn out like you planned and the eating experience will suffer.

When network performance issues arise that have a negative impact on critical customer services, teams need to be able to isolate the cause—and do so quickly and accurately. In today’s modern networks, here are the ingredients network operations teams need to achieve these objectives:
- A highly scalable, unified data model that combines all the network data needed to uncover effective solutions to network operations problems.
- Advanced analytics that enable teams to go beyond proactive triage and establish predictive, automated operations.
- Intelligent triage workflows that enable teams to go from viewing alarms to diagnosing the root cause of network issues—with a single mouse click.
- Traffic analysis and anomaly detection that can help teams understand current patterns of network behavior and avoid potential future outages.
- Network configuration management capabilities that help teams comply with policies and regulatory mandates, and avoid the misconfigurations that can cause widespread outages.
