Consistent network data and measurements

The quality of any data set is directly related to how the data is generated, measured and stored. In a virtual network, where big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence and analytics are critical to success, this is especially true. By automating the entire process of generating key performance indicators (KPIs) and by orchestrating service activation testing and service assurance monitoring into every service, the service provider guarantees the KPIs are generated consistently for all services throughout the entire virtual network. Additionally, by leveraging these KPIs to fuel policy-driven operations activities, the provider can bring an additional level of consistency and fairness to the way services and service related issues are handled, further improving the overall customer quality of experience.
