Network Analytics

Sophisticated Analysis Made Simple

Sandvine's Network Analytics gets the data out of the network and brings it to the boardroom. Designed for the emerging field of subscriber data management, and deployed on Sandvine's Policy Traffic Switch (PTS) platform, Network Analytics is a sophisticated analysis tool that empowers confident business decisions through network-wide visibility.

Right-time Information for Real-life Decisions

A successful Internet business strategy requires sufficient insight to make informed decisions regarding service plans, management policies, capital investments and premium offerings. Network operators have long since had access to detailed information from billing and operations systems, but only recently is that information being combined with application-level awareness of per-subscriber Internet usage.

Network Analytics lets you focus on the meaning of information, rather than spending your effort on its acquisition and processing. Dashboards are refreshed daily, so your decisions are based on current information. By separating use-cases into distinct dashboards and dividing more focused charts between functional tabs, the facts you need are easy to find and available when you need them. For instance:

• Use the Network Summary Dashboard to monitor overall network developments and track your organization’s key performance indicators
• Let the Real-Time Entertainment Dashboard show you metrics that matter, including how many videos your subscribers watch, for how long they watch, and their video quality of experience
• Plan your congestion management policies based on the granular insight provided by the Traffic Management Dashboard, then use the same dashboard to demonstrate the positive subscriber impact of those policies. Data is obtained by collecting and reconciling IP Data Records (IPDR) and Policy Traffic Switch (PTS) statistics for the most accurate view of the state of the network.
• Dive into the segmentation provided by the Usage Management Dashboard to identify opportunities to launch new services, driven by real subscriber habits rather than costly and unreliable market surveys

With Network Analytics, assumptions give way to facts, and decisions are based on knowledge rather than well-intentioned guesses.
