Data Analytics for IT Networks. Developing Innovative Use Cases

One of the hottest trends in the networking industry is to apply analytics to improve performance, security, and value. Everyone`s talking about integrating analytics in networks. But successfully doing so requires a deep understanding of both networking and data, and that`s a rare combination. This book`s author, John Garrett, is currently Analytics Technical Lead for Cisco Advanced Services, where he draws on his MS in Predictive Analytics to develop analytics use cases for many of Cisco`s most sophisticated customers. In Computer Networking Data Analytics, Garrett illuminates the data of networking, revealing the power of the information that`s already available in your environment. Next, he introduces powerful techniques for using that information to accelerate innovation, and build a better network. Garrett walks step-by-step through a wide spectrum of common networking analytics techniques and scenarios, illuminating the insights underlying them, and helping you adapt them for your own environment. He concludes with several end-to-end case studies demonstrating how his team has developed high-value use cases for some of Cisco`s largest customers. These end-to-end use cases can serve as repeatable templates for developing your own solutions in areas ranging from advanced troubleshooting and self-healing to service assurance. They will help you drive more value from telemetry, event analytics, network infrastructure metadata, and all the information you have.
