Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance

Provider Connectivity Assurance is designed to deliver granular service-centric performance visibility and “provider-grade” assurance for Communications Service Providers (CSPs) and any business or public sector entity that operates their own private network. Continuous, real-time visibility into end-to-end network and service quality, as well as per-segment visibility with microsecond precision, enables users to proactively identify and resolve performance issues across an entire network infrastructure.

The solution combines advanced data collection, analytics, and visualization capabilities to give network teams a deep understanding in real time of network and service performance. Granular performance metrics from Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensors can be correlated with Cisco device telemetry and/or third-party data for root cause analysis. AI-native analytics provide real-time anomaly detection and predictive insights to accelerate troubleshooting and automate issue remediation. Performance alerts can be sent directly to Splunk AI Ops cloud data platform for unified observability and cross-domain monitoring enabling faster decision-making and operational intelligence.

Provider Connectivity Assurance solves the challenges of fragmented multi-domain tools and blind spots in terms of visibility for services that span multiple network layers or multi-vendor networks. Real-time and end-to-end visibility into network services performance and AI-native analytics enable proactive management of resilient services and experiences. Provider Connectivity Assurance creates value enabling organizations to offer differentiated networks and services with end-customer reporting portals, assured Quality of Experience (QoE), and enhanced Service-Level Agreements (SLAs).
