Nakina Discovery™ Service providers and analysts agree—20% to 40% of a service provider's network is inaccurately represented in the inventory database of record at any given time. Though understandable, given the number of changes that occur daily in a network, these inaccuracies come at a significant price. Stranded assets that remain unaccounted for in the database are typically unused. This costs a service provider untold millions in unnecessary capital expenditures annually as they seek to build out enough reliable capacity for the anticipated onslaught of new services. Worse still, customer requests for service take weeks to administer because incorrect network data results in provisioning "fall-out" over 60% of the time. Nakina Discovery™, an integral part of the Nakina Network OS™, dramatically improves the situation by automatically discovering and tracking changes to network elements as they occur (in near real-time). Nakina Discovery™ proactively collects new data from the network elements themselves (instead of relying on database updates by network administrators). Using a smart polling system that is configurable for time intervals determined by network administrators, the system effectively enables far improved accuracy in higher level applications like inventory management, provisioning and service activation. Nakina Discovery™ is the only solution in the market today that does discovery at all layers, including the traditionally challenging Layer 1 (optical networking) discovery. Unlike other "discovery" solutions, Nakina Discovery™ actually discovers network elements and devices given only a few seed addresses of gateway nodes in the network, as opposed to merely verifying data provided to it. Nakina Discovery™—yet another reason to make Nakina Network OS™ part of your management framework today. |
