Feb 5, 2024 · By continuously learning and adapting to new network behaviors and threats, AI will help enhance network security and performance and pave the way for more autonomous network operations, aligning with the vision of a Dark NOC where human intervention is minimized.

Jul 12, 2023 · One of the latest advancements in NOC operation is termed as Cognitive NOCs which are essentially based on AI/ML to monitor and optimize the network. This also deals with proactive detection of...

Most importantly, this blog introduces the new Cognitive NOC (cNOC) capabilities that are enabled using AI/ML, including anomaly detection/prediction, the automation of remediation, and fulfillment workflows. NOCs are responsible for monitoring network elements to …

Oct 10, 2023 · NOC operators can increase much-needed capacity by taking steps toward a Dark NOC, which include using automation to help carry out operational tasks and processes and having people come in only to make decisions.

The Dark NOC offers promising solutions to the challenges faced by network operations teams. Anomaly detection is instrumental in recognizing deviations from normal network traffic patterns. It can promptly identify unusual behaviour or potential security threats, leading to faster responses to network issues or security breaches.

Nov 10, 2023 · Most importantly, this blog introduces the new Cognitive NOC (cNOC) capabilities that are enabled using AI/ML, including anomaly detection/prediction, the automation of remediation, and...

Reliable and high-performing connectivity has truly never been more important, making the role of the NOC more critical than ever before. This paper explores the future of network operations, examining where we are and what’s next.

While the Dark NOC is the long-term goal, IT automation offers immediate, incremental benefits, allowing operations to run much more efficiently with fewer resources.

CSPs must completely reimagine their telecom networks by adopting a next-gen, cognitive NOC. Being self-aware, self-healing, and self-protecting, cognitive NOCs can unearth the root cause of failures, and perform preemptive actions.

Jun 15, 2023 · “Dark” means all lights in the NOC can be “put out.” Becoming an “operator of the future” will require communication service providers (CSPs) to maximize the potential of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and automation in pursuit of the so-called “Dark NOC.”
