EXFO Ontology - automated common cause analysis module

EXFO Ontology’s automated common cause analysis uses innovative and unique topology data to answer the question: what do all these entities have in common? This is significant because it automates one of the most expensive (in terms of lost customer revenue and operational expenditures) and labor-intensive tasks in order to resolve network faults in a way that is applicable to all communication service providers (CSPs).

Innovative fault management solution

Automated common cause analysis addresses the lack of automation in service assurance by using insights from EXFO Ontology’s multilayer network and service topology and combining those with EXFO Xtract’s measurement analytics to automatically detect KPI violations and automatically trigger a topology-driven common cause analysis of these violations. Operators then receive a list of related performance problems and their ranked possible causes.
