Intelligent Automation: Driving Digital Automation for Service Providers
Service providers are striving to outpace their competition to meet the ever-increasing expectations from end-customers for differentiated and on-demand services, high bandwidth, and high QoE. To succeed, they need to undergo a digital transformation—making their IT and Network operations smarter and more agile so they can adapt to changing market dynamics more quickly and remain relevant. Blue Planet intelligent automation enables service providers to succeed in their digital transformations—bringing together best-in-class multi-domain, multi-layer orchestration, inventory federation, analytics, and route optimization and assurance capabilities.
Making Intelligent Automation a Reality with Advanced Analytics and Machine Learning
As the explosion in demand for network bandwidth continues, service providers must bring new approaches to how they design, deploy, and operate their networks or risk delivering poor customer experience. Technologies like SDN and NFV are designed to help deal with some of these pressures and now—with big data analytics and AI, it gets even better. By leveraging machine learning capabilities that help power network performance and optimization at superhuman speed and scale, service providers can make true intelligent automation possible, run their businesses smarter and much more efficiently, and adapt at a pace in line with customer expectations.
