Streamlining Data Collection and Analysis for CSPs
As modern communications networks continue to evolve, the amount of data that is now available can be seen as both a challenge and a goldmine for Communication Service Providers (CSPs). Nokia’s AVA Open Analytics framework provides CSPs with a groundbreaking solution to harness network data’s power while accelerating their AI endeavors and helping usher in a new era of innovation.
Network data holds the promise of invaluable insights, but the constantly changing variety, velocity, and volume of available data has created a complex puzzle. In some cases, network data is challenging to collect, while in others, the applications in use require real-time data processing. With the volume of data increasing across disconnected data warehouses, silos, and lakes, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to analyze and process data efficiently.
Adding to these challenges is the fact that there is currently a shortage of skilled data scientists that is impeding the extraction of meaningful insights. The inefficiency of manual processes like data preparation and algorithm selection consumes up to 40% of data scientists’ time that could otherwise be channeled into high-impact tasks.
As CSPs integrate more artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) protocols into their solutions, the 5G networks they manage require fast, real-time insights to feed the automated orchestration engines.
Empowering CSPs With Nokia AVA Open Analytics
In the face of these challenges, the AVA Open Analytics framework offers CSPs a unified solution to navigate the intricacies of data, serving as a common platform to deliver cutting-edge analytics capabilities while revolutionizing how CSPs expedite AI projects.
At the core of the AVA Open Analytics framework is its comprehensive coverage of all network-related data domains, rendering it technology and vendor-agnostic, a feature that allows CSPs to deploy advanced, decentralized data management models.
These tools leverage the entire range of data, are easily integrable into various Nokia solutions, including the Digital Operations Center, and represent an analytics framework designed for the 5G era. By employing a cloud-native architecture combined with AI/ML and a Data Mesh approach, its versatility allows for seamless multi-vendor and multi-technology network integration while encompassing all data domains related to the network, from transport to customer data.
A Future-Proofed, Agile Data-Mesh Solution
With the Nokia AVA Open Analytics framework, CSPs can power the implementation of AVA analytics use cases. AVA Open Analytics can cater to the diverse requirements of analytics use cases by operating on the following guiding principles:
- Services-Driven Framework
- Data Mesh
- Openness
- Hybrid Cloud Architecture
- Agility for Customization
To deliver an authentic 5G experience to consumers, network elements will be distributed across various locations and instances. Additionally, the analytics framework is designed to be deployed alongside the applications it serves to ensure optimal performance and responsiveness.
Key Components of AVA Open Analytics
The AVA Open Analytics framework rests on several foundational pillars that pave the way for its remarkable capabilities:
Streamlined MLOps
MLOps plays a pivotal role in the framework, streamlining the journey of deploying and maintaining machine learning models in production. This results in accelerated development cycles, heightened scalability, enhanced reproducibility, and mitigated risks.
Data Mesh for Enhanced Agility
Diverging from traditional data lake approaches, AVA Open Analytics champions the Data Mesh concept. Data Mesh leverages data federation and abstraction, facilitating the seamless integration of data products from diverse sources. This approach augments agility and scalability.
Zero Trust Security
In an era marred by heightened cybersecurity concerns, AVA Open Analytics adopts a zero-trust security model. This safeguard ensures that sensitive data remains shielded while affording authorized users seamless access.
