What Is Nokia AVA Data Suite?
Nokia has introduced its AVA Data Suite, designed to operate on Google Cloud, to help communication service providers (CSPs) standardize data and expedite the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) – collectively AI/ML – software applications.
Nokia AVA Data Suite comprises a collection of readily available and proven data offerings designed to expedite the generation of valuable business insights and to empower the large-scale implementation of AI for Autonomous Operations. These standardized, pre-correlated data product packages spanning 4G, 5G, and fixed domains are tailored to accelerate the creation of AI solutions that enhance network performance, sustainability, and subscriber experiences and generate new revenue streams.
Leveraging Nokia’s extensive experience in constructing network and subscriber experience use cases, the AVA Data Suite seamlessly integrates with Google Cloud’s BigQuery and Vertex AI. The Nokia AVA Open Analytics framework also incorporates robust data governance and security mechanisms throughout the data product lifecycle, ensuring the validation, assurance, and ongoing maintenance of accurate data availability, synchronization, reliability, and relevance.
Google Cloud’s BigQuery
Together, Google Cloud and Nokia have created an invaluable data ecosystem for their telecommunications (telco) clientele. Google Cloud offers a spectrum of services for hosting and processing their complete enterprise data, while Nokia boasts years of expertise in developing AI/ML applications tailored for the telco industry.
Nokia’s AVA Data Suite seamlessly integrates into the Google Cloud environment, equipping CSPs with an extensive catalog of reusable network, subscriber, and IT data products. These resources can be effectively harnessed within Google Cloud’s Vertex AI and Big Query ecosystem, fostering the rapid development of cutting-edge AI/ML applications. These applications, in turn, boost operational efficiency and propel business expansion.
Together, Google Cloud and Nokia deliver state-of-the-art data technologies, methodologies, and product offerings, unlocking the true potential of AI and enabling their clientele to capture its value fully.
Vertex AI
Vertex AI, on the other hand, provides the necessary infrastructure for building and training AI/ML models. The AVA Data Suite supplies correlated data to Vertex AI, enabling the creation and refinement of machine learning models optimized for specific applications, such as network optimization and predictive maintenance.
Nokia’s rigorous testing has shown that the time required for data standardization in AI/ML applications can be significantly reduced to just three to four weeks, a stark departure from the conventional methods that typically demand a laborious four-month timeline.
Advantages of AVA Data Suite
Streamlined Data Ingestion
AVA Data Suite simplifies the process of collecting data. Adaptors efficiently extract real-time telco data from various vendors and domains within the network, making it available on a secure data mesh architecture. This democratized access ensures data is easily accessible while maintaining robust security measures.
Accelerated AI/ML Value Realization
The reusable data products within AVA Data Suite significantly expedite the AI/ML lifecycle data preparation phase. This allows for the completion of this critical step in just 3-4 weeks, a remarkable 70% faster than traditional projects, which typically take around 4 months. This acceleration ensures that the benefits of AI/ML are realized much more quickly.
Total Cost of Ownership Optimization
By aggregating data from many network elements spanning various vendors and domains through a unified data layer, AVA Data Suite eliminates the need to manage and maintain multiple event mediation platforms. This consolidation results in cost savings, reducing the total cost of ownership.
Ensuring Data Quality
AVA Data Suite delivers high-quality source data and complex derived/correlated data products with proven applicability in telco AI/ML use case development. This assurance of data quality prevents the “Garbage in, Garbage out” (GIGO) problem, as AI/ML models are trained on comprehensive and relevant datasets, leading to more accurate and valuable results.
Key Features of Nokia AVA Data Suite
Data Mesh Architecture
Nokia AVA Data Suite is built on a robust data mesh architecture. This architecture enables data federation and data abstraction, allowing the virtual combination of data from various sources. This flexibility enhances agility in handling and processing data.
Adaptors for Multi-Vendor Multi-Domain Integration
AVA Data Suite includes adaptable components designed for effortless integration and extraction of data from diverse multi-vendor, multi-domain data sources. These adaptors streamline the process of collecting and managing data.
Proven Data Library
The data layer within AVA Data Suite is decoupled from hundreds of telco analytics use cases developed by Nokia. This decoupling allows for the transformation of data into reusable data products, providing a library of proven and reliable data resources that can be leveraged across different applications and scenarios.
Data Quality, Security, and Standardization
AVA Data Suite strongly emphasizes data quality, security, and standardization. It transforms data parameters generated by multi-vendor networks into a secure information model that adheres to established standards. This ensures the reliability and integrity of the data.
Domain Data Correlation
The suite offers sophisticated data correlation capabilities, allowing complex correlations across high volumes of both real-time and non-real-time data. This feature enables the extraction of valuable insights from a wide range of data sources.
Synchronization Across Real-Time Data Streams
AVA Data Suite addresses the need for synchronization across multiple real-time data streams. It ensures that data from various sources is harmonized, facilitating the analysis and utilization of data in real-time applications.
