An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Enterprise organizations often see the network as something akin to plumbing: vital, but best left out-of-sight and out-of-mind. Network analytics company Kentik, however, sees it differently. Its view is that the “network knows.” According to the company, having access to comprehensive and real-time network analytics are the key to identifying more security attacks, resolving critical problems or performance issues more quickly, improving partner SLA compliance, and delivering a better customer experience.
The company ingests data from network logs and, in some cases, agents, into its analytics cloud to provide its clients with real-time network traffic intelligence. Purpose-built as a big data platform optimized for deriving insights from network traffic, the company claims that it is its platform’s scalability, performance, and the ability to ingest and analyze what it calls full-resolution network data that sets it apart from traditional approaches to network performance monitoring and forensics.
The platform also correlates network data with application and business data that enables its clients to connect adverse network incidents to their corresponding business impact — something that becomes essential as more business processes and elements of the customer journey take place across applications and other digital engagements.
