Fujitsu adds Virtuora AX analytics microapps for improved network management
Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. says it now offers Virtuora Analytics Transformation (AX), cloud-native microapplications as part of its Virtuora cloud ecosystem. The microapps leverage machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide analysis and network intelligence for complex datasets, which the company says can automate correlation, prediction, and anomaly detection for proactive and automated resolution.
Network operators can use the Virtuora AX microapps to evaluate and improve service performance as well as their digital infrastructures, according to Fujitsu. Virtuora AX can operate in multi-vendor environments to provide:
- Traffic prediction analysis
- Network operations management
- Optical line system fault predictions
- Hardware and call log anomaly detection
- OLS design with real-time performance data.
“The inherent complexity of next-generation networks has raised the stakes for service providers, taking analytics, machine learning and AI from concept to critical need,” said Francois Lafontaine, vice president and head of the software business at Fujitsu Network Communications. “With the new Fujitsu Virtuora AX network intelligence solution, AI is now within reach for network service providers, enabling them to increase operational efficiencies, reduce downtime and improve overall customer experience for significant competitive advantage.”
