Intelligent Monitoring For The Modern Data Center Network

For years, data center operators have wrestled with the fact that most downtime isn't caused by catastrophic hardware failure. Instead, it's the cumulative effect of missed alarms, delayed reactions, and human error during day-to-day operations.
The Nokia Bell Labs Consulting data center fabric reliability study redefines what operational reliability looks like. It quantifies the impact of moving from a legacy Present Mode of Operation (PMO) to a modern Future Mode of Operation (FMO) powered by Nokia SR Linux and Event-Driven Automation (EDA). The study found that organizations adopting the combined solution achieved up to 23.9 times less downtime, which is an improvement of roughly 96% compared with conventional solutions.
