AIOps platforms leverage big data, machine learning, and analytics technologies to improve IT operations functions (monitoring, automation, and service desk). The objective is to analyze all relevant data (real-time and deep) so that problems can be prevented or resolved quickly without or with minimum human intervention. This webinar explores machine learning and its application to AI-driven operations. It examines specific use cases and demonstrates how machine learning is used to uncover anomalies in the network and infrastructure that would be extremely difficult or impossible to detect using legacy tools.

One of the advantages of software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) is the ability to modify the network on the fly. A closed feedback loop between the service assurance solution and the orchestration system enables network self-healing and self-optimization when providing mission critical services. By identifying performance issues we can take immediate action to solve problems or improve service reliability, thus reducing mean time to repair (MTTR).

In this webinar, and its associated whitepaper, we go deep into these aspects of how real-time analytics are crucial to enable closed-loop service assurance in your SDN or NFV solution. The webinar will provide you with ideas on how to optimize your service assurance platform.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is projected to hit $8.9 trillion (yes, trillion!) in annual sales by 2020. New pricing schemes that leverage IoT’s data centricity mean big shifts for sellers who must respond to unprecedented demand for usage and pay-as-you go models. These shifts promise to be as big as the ones caused by the IoT itself. The companies that win will monetize everything to maximize the Monetization of Things (MoT). Getting it right from the “get go” will be imperative. In one hour, you’ll learn imperatives to thrive in this new age including:

• How to Monetize the IoT (MoT)
• Key capabilities for MoT, including consumption data considerations
• Designing a high performance infrastructure
• Why speed matters now, more than ever
• Case studies from companies that are leading the way

Telecommunications fraud is a significant concern for communications service providers. It robs carriers of revenues, consumes valuable network resources without remuneration, and leads to customer disputes and churn. A 2011 Communications Fraud Control Association (CFCA) survey estimates global telecommunications fraud loss at $40.1 Billion (USD) or nearly 2% of worldwide telecom revenues.

With the advent of VoIP-based next generation networks, communications service providers and large enterprises are vulnerable to a wide array of increasingly sophisticated attacks. While dealing with the risk of fraud can be daunting, new tools for protecting from and preventing fraud are emerging that offer large operators the ability to protect themselves, protect their customers, and offer differentiate themselves from their competition.
