Cisco preps technology to predict enterprise-network problems
Cisco says it is working on a service to let enterprises proactively avert network problems and increase performance.
The company says it has built a predictive analytics engine it will offer via software-as-a-service (SaaS) to help network operators quickly and accurately predict network issues and prevent problems before they happen.
“The future of connectivity will rely on self-healing networks that can learn, predict and plan,” Chuck Robbins, Cisco chair and CEO said in a statement. “Our research for predictive networks has been tested and developed with customers, and early adopters [including Phillips 66, Schneider Electric and the Adecco Group] are seeing major benefits saving them time and money.”
