The digital transformation has seen network stability become inextricably linked with business success as many enterprises’ ability to remain competitive has become largely dependent on the operability of the array of innovative technologies which expedite productivity, enhance customer experience, and provide security.

As networks progressively integrate an increasing number of devices and users the importance of effective monitoring and management has become imperative. Capable of generating millions of alarms a day, IT teams can become easily overwhelmed leading to connection issues and application unpredictability, drastically reducing the effectiveness of devices operating on the network and extrapolating that ineffectiveness onto workers reliant on those devices.

We at ConnX have developed our ConnX AI Assure to combat this, delivering ubiquitous monitoring capabilities that leverage AI-Ops-based predictive analytics and machine learning capabilities to identify issues in real-time and provide actionable analytics before network performance is impacted. Able to be integrated into any network, AI-driven SD-WAN removes the inherent constraints and limitations of traditional networking products and conventional SD-WAN solutions to provide considerably reduced bandwidth consumption compared to its predecessors, alongside a variety of core functions:

• Proactive AI/ML behavioral learning and automation assures detection and alerts to identify poor call quality causes and provides immediate notification of relevant network events
• Network and application layer instrumentation delivers a wealth of real-time performance data and presents the data in an immediately actionable way
• Media fault isolation quickly identifies the source of performance problems, subsequently providing instant visibility and analysis to demonstrate the true end-user experience
• Network Path and Event Correlation enables site-based session tracking and reporting to help identify systemic versus local failures. Insight into Complex Call Flows allows rapid identification of all legs of a call
• A unified dashboard combines all diagnostics capabilities, providing an easy-to-interpret presentation of all events and user experience metrics
• Reduces the need for expert resources to analyze events and identify the root cause, facilitating fault isolation and problem resolution

Applicable throughout any business, our solution provides several network integrations via a single monitoring solution, speeding up the adoption of ConnX MS Teams and ConnX AI SD-WAN deployments to save valuable time, resources, and money.

Further value comes from our solutions’ ability to understand and then report, these features track and show how specific packets of conversation are being handled while traversing the network and explain exactly how the network responds to individual conversations and notifies the quality of the call in real-time.

In addition, the visualization of historical trends allows for executive-level tracking, management, and decision-making to improve the user’s experience, anticipate operational issues, and improve capacity planning.

When Edge-to-Edge Quality Matters, End-to-End Network Observability is Mission Critical

When Edge-to-Edge Quality Matters, End-to-End Network Observability is Mission Critical

You cannot manage what you cannot measure. It’s a phrase that is especially true when it comes to enterprise networking. The ability to understand what is happening at the edge of the network, down to the device and application level, with great granularity and confidence, is no longer a nice-to-have, but a must-have. That’s especially true with the growing popularity of WFH workforce models.

Driven by the urgent need to address climate change, the adoption of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the rapid rise of Environmental, Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) standards for measurement, companies in the clean energy industry are some of the most prominent players in the sustainability world and are growing as they continue to replace fossil fuels, traditional nuclear reactors and other legacy sources of electricity.

The use of cloud technologies in the retail industry has never been more dynamic and promising. Very few enterprises today rely on a single cloud and instead choose cloud consumption based on the applications they are using and how their digitally transformed networks are designed. This is especially true for highly distributed retail companies with hundreds or thousands of physical locations and for those who are increasingly blending the online and in-store customer experience.

For employees working from home, whether customer-facing or internal, the only reliable and guaranteed media path has been a landline for decades. Phone and video calls over a home Internet link and average Wi-Fi network have been nearly impossible when it comes to a high-quality user experience. Why?
