LONDON, Jan. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Integrated analytics and automation solution for self-scaling, self-healing,

self-optimizing networks

KX, maker of kdb+, the world's fastest time series database and real-time

analytics engine, and EnterpriseWeb, a pioneer in telecom virtualization and

automation, have partnered to deliver network observability and automation

solutions for performance-critical systems.

Bringing together highly complementary technologies, KX and EnterpriseWeb offer

an incredibly flexible and powerful closed-loop control mechanism that can be

deployed on any system or distributed network. KX brings market-leading data

services and real-time analytics capabilities, built around its kdb+ time

series database, for pattern recognition and the detection of anomalies. These

feed EnterpriseWeb's intelligent orchestration platform for intent-based

network and service management which interprets the events, translates

policies, and takes actions to maintain a declared state for a self-scaling,

self-healing, self-optimizing network. Together, KX and EnterpriseWeb provide

an integrated solution for 'zero-touch' network and service management at scale.

The two companies first teamed up as part of an all-star team on a 5G edge

network automation test-bed hosted

<https://enterpriseweb.com/all-star-team-of-inb-partners-advances-autonomous-net

working-with-stage-2-of-its-5g-testbed/> by Intel Network Builders (INB), along

with Red Hat, Keysight, Fortinet and Tech Mahindra. One of the distinguishing

features of the award-winning testbed is the enhanced Self-Organizing Network

(SON) – formed by the integration of KX and EnterpriseWeb – to optimize the

processing of secure packets, while significantly reducing energy consumption.

To date, SON implementations are generally vendor-centric, narrow in scope,

batch processed, and expensive to deploy and maintain. In contrast, the two

partners were able to rapidly deploy as an open, extensible, near-real-time SON

that's flexibly configurable for a wide variety of use cases.

The testbed simulates both a large spike in network traffic and a DDOS

(Distributed Denial of Service) attack, KX monitors streaming data to issue

alerts where threshold levels are breached. Signals are then sent back to

EnterpriseWeb's intelligent orchestrator, which automatically adjusts the

configuration of the service elements as well as the underlying infrastructure

to accommodate the additional traffic and respond to the threat. This ensures

Quality of Service for customers and maintains network health.

Results so far have been extremely promising including x10 more traffic

throughput (10Gbps vs 1Gbps), whilst being x9.5 more energy efficient (113 kW/h

vs 1069 kW/h) in the initial use-cases, with unrivalled potential to further

build out analytics on the mobile edge and core.

James Corcoran, Chief Growth Officer, KX: "We talk about KX as being an engine

for time series and real-time analytics, powered by kdb+. As the results of the

testbed project demonstrate, being the analytics engine in EnterpriseWeb's

intelligent orchestration platform can yield significant benefits. Working

alongside an all-star team of partners, we've shown that using time

series-based technology like KX can dramatically improve response times and

increase network efficiency. We're excited to see how our partnership with

EnterpriseWeb can be applied to other use cases where the real-time monitoring

and management of distributed networks, and low latency response and

remediation is a critical requirement."

Dave Duggal, founder and CEO of EnterpriseWeb: "The joint KX and EnterpriseWeb

solution enables and accelerates the Telecom transformation journey to Digital

Service Providers. Taking network services to the edge for low-latency customer

use-cases requires extreme automation and efficiency so the explosion of new

sites can be supported operationally. To streamline deployments, Telcos will

benefit from a common technology platform that can be flexibly configured for

different industries, customers and use-cases so they can avoid being mired

down in custom development projects. KX and EnterpriseWeb present a

lightweight, low-latency, high-performance solution for an edge-optimized Telco

Cloud platform."
