Netrounds Releases New Research Paper on Service Assurance in the Context of Big Data and Artificial IntelligenceLULEÅ, Sweden, Nov. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Netrounds, the leading provider of active testing, monitoring, and service assurance solutions for communications service providers, today announced the release of new service assurance research and an accompanying white paper entitled "Service Assurance - In Need of Big Data or Small Data?" (Logo: http://mma.prnewswire.com/media/555462/Netrounds_CA_Technologies_Logo.jpg ) The white paper discusses current service assurance systems and how they relate to Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, and Deep Learning. Also included are results of the recent NFV Service Assurance and Analytics research study and survey completed by Heavy Reading in October 2017. Over 100 network operators and service providers worldwide participated in the survey. Key takeaways from the research include:
"Service assurance is both an area of some confusion and an area where significant evolution is taking place due to the industry's ongoing network virtualization efforts," said Sandra O'Boyle, Senior Analyst focusing on CEM and Network Analytics at Heavy Reading. "Service providers are open with us about the challenges with current service assurance systems and the need to monitor service quality KPIs in real time to meet dynamic SLAs. Discussing service assurance in the context of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, another area of confusion and hype, could not come at a more relevant time given service providers' level of interest in our recent NFV Service Assurance and Analytics study." "If you can measure service quality directly, why would you try to reverse engineer it from noisy and incomplete data pulled from the resource layer?" added Vallin.
