Navigating the New Network: Charting the future of Managed Network Services with Automation, Analytics & AIOps (AAA)

Today, for most companies, the network is the business. This is a stark change from the network’s role just a few years ago, but it’s now a fact, as almost all the enabling technologies of digital transformation are network centric. 

As the network evolves into a more dynamic environment, Managed Services Providers must automate and orchestrate more than what they had been delivering over the years. 

What does this mean for automation of the network? How does it evolve to support new technologies while still addressing integration into existing legacy ecosystems? How does it scale to support physical, virtual, and cloud networks? To unlock the truly game-changing potential of automation in Managed Network Services, we require the triumvirate of Automation, Analytics and AIOps (AAA). This paper explores the approach, strategies and toolsets that can enable this.
