KX AND ENTERPRISEWEB ENABLE UNPRECEDENTED PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY FOR NETWORK SERVICES AT THE EDGE
LONDON, Jan. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Integrated analytics and automation solution for self-scaling, self-healing, 
self-optimizing networks

KX, maker of kdb+, the world's fastest time series database and real-time 
analytics engine, and EnterpriseWeb, a pioneer in telecom virtualization and 
automation, have partnered to deliver network observability and automation 
solutions for performance-critical systems.

Bringing together highly complementary technologies, KX and EnterpriseWeb offer 
an incredibly flexible and powerful closed-loop control mechanism that can be 
deployed on any system or distributed network. KX brings market-leading data 
services and real-time analytics capabilities, built around its kdb+ time 
series database, for pattern recognition and the detection of anomalies. These 
feed EnterpriseWeb's intelligent orchestration platform for intent-based 
network and service management which interprets the events, translates 
policies, and takes actions to maintain a declared state for a self-scaling, 
self-healing, self-optimizing network. Together, KX and EnterpriseWeb provide 
an integrated solution for 'zero-touch' network and service management at scale.

The two companies first teamed up as part of an all-star team on a 5G edge 
network automation test-bed hosted 
<https://enterpriseweb.com/all-star-team-of-inb-partners-advances-autonomous-net
working-with-stage-2-of-its-5g-testbed/> by Intel Network Builders (INB), along 
with Red Hat, Keysight, Fortinet and Tech Mahindra. One of the distinguishing 
features of the award-winning testbed is the enhanced Self-Organizing Network 
(SON) – formed by the integration of KX and EnterpriseWeb – to optimize the 
processing of secure packets, while significantly reducing energy consumption.

To date, SON implementations are generally vendor-centric, narrow in scope, 
batch processed, and expensive to deploy and maintain. In contrast, the two 
partners were able to rapidly deploy as an open, extensible, near-real-time SON 
that's flexibly configurable for a wide variety of use cases.

The testbed simulates both a large spike in network traffic and a DDOS 
(Distributed Denial of Service) attack, KX monitors streaming data to issue 
alerts where threshold levels are breached. Signals are then sent back to 
EnterpriseWeb's intelligent orchestrator, which automatically adjusts the 
configuration of the service elements as well as the underlying infrastructure 
to accommodate the additional traffic and respond to the threat. This ensures 
Quality of Service for customers and maintains network health.

Results so far have been extremely promising including x10 more traffic 
throughput (10Gbps vs 1Gbps), whilst being x9.5 more energy efficient (113 kW/h 
vs 1069 kW/h) in the initial use-cases, with unrivalled potential to further 
build out analytics on the mobile edge and core.

James Corcoran, Chief Growth Officer, KX: "We talk about KX as being an engine 
for time series and real-time analytics, powered by kdb+. As the results of the 
testbed project demonstrate, being the analytics engine in EnterpriseWeb's 
intelligent orchestration platform can yield significant benefits. Working 
alongside an all-star team of partners, we've shown that using time 
series-based technology like KX can dramatically improve response times and 
increase network efficiency. We're excited to see how our partnership with 
EnterpriseWeb can be applied to other use cases where the real-time monitoring 
and management of distributed networks, and low latency response and 
remediation is a critical requirement."

Dave Duggal, founder and CEO of EnterpriseWeb: "The joint KX and EnterpriseWeb 
solution enables and accelerates the Telecom transformation journey to Digital 
Service Providers. Taking network services to the edge for low-latency customer 
use-cases requires extreme automation and efficiency so the explosion of new 
sites can be supported operationally. To streamline deployments, Telcos will 
benefit from a common technology platform that can be flexibly configured for 
different industries, customers and use-cases so they can avoid being mired 
down in custom development projects. KX and EnterpriseWeb present a 
lightweight, low-latency, high-performance solution for an edge-optimized Telco 
Cloud platform."
