Intuitive Data Analysis for Assessing Network Performance atScale

Computer network operations deal with ever-increasing volumes of monitoring data in many different formats. Human operators require effective analytic tools to correlate and interpret this data to sustain optimal levels of uninterrupted network performance. This project will deliver a practical solution for complex network traffic analysis founded on the concept of intelligent network operations. The key aspect of this solution is to equip network operators with an intuitive decision-making mechanism by means of linking and analyzing massive amounts of traffic information collected on a computer network. Phase I of the project will evaluate the technical feasibility of the proposed solution and its applicability to the network operations process. Phase I will cover many aspects of system design, such as data engineering, application development, and system deployment. Phase I will result in product specifications and a project plan for developing a technical solution in Phase II. This solution will be made available as a standalone tool that can be deployed and used by general network operations community. Additionally, this product will be rolled into a commercial offering with cloud-based capabilities as a service for network operations organizations.
