Huawei Releases FabricInsight 2.0, Unveiling a New Mode for Proactive O&M in Data Centers

Before the upcoming HUAWEI CONNECT 2018, Huawei released the latest version of the data center network analyzer–FabricInsight. This industry-leading intelligent network monitoring and analysis platform makes it easy for customers to build intelligent operating systems for applications in data centers. The latest software version, FabricInsight 2.0, features telemetry, machine intelligence, and improved big data analytics capability, helping global customers unveil a new mode for proactive O&M in data centers, efficiently detect, locate, and predict risks in cloud data centers, and build highly stable data center networks.

Virtualization, cloudification, containerization, and artificial intelligence (AI) are driving the transformation of data centers. Enterprises are in urgent need of accelerating innovation, and improving flexibility, stability, and security in increasingly complex data centers.

The brand-new software version, FabricInsight 2.0, has been launched, and its new features are:

• Automatic identification of typical faults and troubleshooting wizard: FabricInsight 2.0 is preset with dozens of typical faults related to service quality, network service, security compliance, and other aspects. It provides an overview of currently active and historical failures, and a new troubleshooting wizard. This implements automatic identification of typical faults in seconds and one-click fault diagnosis and troubleshooting.
• Quick fault locating based on software and hardware: FabricInsight coordinates with Huawei CloudEngine series switches to intelligently preprocess data on the local device, facilitating data analysis. This effectively improves the analyzer’s overall performance and greatly reduces the requirements for servers where FabricInsight is installed. In addition, leveraging the device edge intelligence, FabricInsight is capable of analyzing all packets and quickly locating faults in minutes.
• Machine intelligence-based predictive maintenance: FabricInsight provides enhanced AI-based O&M capabilities. It takes advantage of the big data and machine learning algorithm to train network behavior models, and establishes dynamic baselines for devices, queues, and ports. In this way, FabricInsight can proactively detect exceptions, predicting faults from the component level to network level. The latest FabricInsight shifts from passive O&M to proactive O&M, enabling networks to detect risks prior to services being affected and reducing the network fault rate by up to 68%.
