Abstract
A computer-implemented method, a system, and a network include receiving network data from a network and non-network sourced data from one or more external sources relative to the network; performing data mining on the network data and the non-network sourced data; developing a predictive analytics model based on the data mining; and performing predictive analytics on the network data and the non-network sourced data using the predictive analytics model to detect likely future failures in the network. The network can include a Software Defined Network (SDN) operating at any of Layers 0, 1, 2 and/or 3.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving network data from a network and non-network sourced data from one or more external sources relative to the network;
- performing data mining on the network data and the non-network sourced data;
- developing a predictive analytics model based on the data mining;
- and
- performing predictive analytics on the network data and the non-network sourced data using the predictive analytics model to detect likely future failures in the network.
A system, comprising:
- a network interface, a data store, and a processor, each communicatively coupled therebetween;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- receive, via the network interface, network data from a network and non-network sourced data from one or more external sources relative to the network;
- perform data mining on the network data and the non-network sourced data;
- develop a predictive analytics model based on the data mining;
- and
- perform predictive analytics on the network data and the non-network sourced data using the predictive analytics model to detect likely future failures in the network.
A network, comprising:
- a plurality of network elements communicatively coupled therebetween and operating at any of Layers 0, 1, 2 and/or 3;
- a controller communicatively coupled to one or more of the plurality of network elements, wherein the controller comprises a processor and memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- receive, via a network interface, network data from a network and non-network sourced data from one or more external sources relative to the network;
- perform data mining on the network data and the non-network sourced data;
- develop a predictive analytics model based on the data mining;
- and
- perform predictive analytics on the network data and the non-network sourced data using the predictive analytics model to detect likely future failures in the network.
