Revolutionizing Network Intelligence and Security
In modern telecommunications, service providers face the relentless challenge of managing ever-increasing data traffic while ensuring optimal quality of experience (QoE) and robust network security. Nokia Deepfield offers a sophisticated suite of analytics and security solutions designed to meet these challenges head-on, empowering network operators with unprecedented insights and control over their infrastructures.
The Need for Advanced Network Intelligence
Today’s digital ecosystem is dominated by cloud-based applications and services, with customers demanding seamless connectivity and high-quality interactions across various platforms and devices. This shift towards an Internet-driven environment underscores the necessity for precise, real-time analytics that can transcend traditional network monitoring methods, which often rely on hardware probes and deep packet inspection (DPI). These legacy tools are ill-equipped to handle the scale required by modern cloud, IoT, and 5G infrastructures, and they falter particularly in dealing with encrypted traffic.
Nokia Deepfield
Nokia Deepfield is a software-based solution that integrates network intelligence, analytics, and DDoS security into a unified platform. It eliminates the need for traditional hardware probes, leveraging advanced algorithms and machine learning to analyze and interpret vast amounts of data in real-time. This approach enhances network performance and security and optimizes the customer experience through detailed insights into traffic patterns and service quality.
Nokia Deepfield utilizes a common software platform to aggregate data from diverse network sources. These include standard IP flow-based protocol information, BGP, SNMP, and enhanced router, network, and telemetry-related data. Additionally, it can incorporate custom data from various operational domains such as SDN control, OSS/BSS, and customer support systems.
Key components of Nokia Deepfield include:
Deepfield Cloud Genome® and Deepfield Secure Genome®
These proprietary data feeds offer real-time intelligence on billions of Internet endpoints and flows, providing dynamic maps of internet traffic and security threats.
Petabyte-scale Data Engine
Capable of processing and analyzing vast quantities of data to offer multi-dimensional, real-time analytics. This engine supports the scalability required for modern network environments.
Software-only Deployment
By eschewing traditional hardware probes for a software-based solution, Deepfield allows for more flexible and cost-effective network monitoring and management.
Applications and Benefits
Nokia Deepfield applications address three critical areas: insight, performance, and security. These applications enable service providers to:
Gain In-depth Insights
Real-time and historical analytics help in traffic engineering and network planning, enhancing operational decisions.
Optimize Performance
Tools for mapping OTT video traffic and other services to network measurements improve overall network efficacy and customer satisfaction.
Enhance Security
Deepfield Defender uses advanced analytics to effectively detect and mitigate DDoS attacks, ensuring robust network protection.
Use Cases for Nokia Deepfield
Nokia Deepfield supports numerous use cases that are crucial for network operators today:
Traffic Engineering and Capacity Planning
By understanding traffic flows and patterns, operators can optimize their network infrastructure to handle peak loads efficiently.
Security Management
Real-time DDoS detection and mitigation protect the network against volumetric and multi-vector attacks.
Quality of Experience Optimization
Detailed insights into service consumption enable operators to enhance subscriber satisfaction and reduce churn.
The Deepfield Advantage
The real-time network and service insights provided by Nokia Deepfield allow operators to design better networks, manage performance anomalies, handle security threats, and tailor their service offerings to market needs more effectively. The holistic visibility across the network—from content-originating domains and CDNs across peering and backbone to the customer edge—is critical for automating network responses to changing conditions, thereby reducing operational costs and enhancing service delivery.
As networks evolve in complexity and scale, dynamically understanding and responding to network conditions becomes increasingly critical. Nokia Deepfield offers a powerful, scalable, and flexible solution that harnesses the potential of big data analytics and machine learning to transform network operations and security management. By deploying Deepfield, network operators safeguard their infrastructures and ensure a superior quality of experience for their customers, thereby positioning themselves competitively in the fast-evolving digital landscape.
