A convergence of forces is driving rapid maturation in the AI market: As the global pandemic accelerated the digital initiatives of nearly every enterprise on the planet, AI has now become a strategic imperative for modern businesses and research organizations. A new wave of accelerated compute products are being rapidly adopted by enterprises – delivering 10-100x the performance of traditional CPUs, massive increases in DNN models and creating a Cambrian explosion in AI. But running AI projects at scale requires huge amounts of data, and many organizations are struggling to fuel these digital transformation engines with enough data to realize the full promise of AI/ML and move their business initiatives and research projects forward. Enter WEKA.

In this session, Dave will discuss the challenges WEKA customers face as they look to implement their AI and ML indicatives, providing context for why WEKA developed its Data Platform for AI solution.

Personnel: John Heintz

In December 2021 Augtera detected a major AWS outage long before Amazon publicly commented on it, though the Augtera Live Multi cloud Anomaly capability, which is provided on the Augtera website to everyone. In addition, while the Augtera team was presenting at NFD, a real-time GCP anomaly was being detected. The underlying tech for this capability is Augtera software probes deployed across the Internet, or a customer’s network. VPC flow logs can also be used to detect anomalies.


Augtera Actionable Insights for Data Center and SD-WAN

Personnel: John Heintz

Augtera detects TCP SACK options through sFlow which is an indication that an issue is emerging. Further inspection shows fabric interfaces are dropping packets, because of how traffic is being load balanced. Similarly, an underlay could be impacting a SD-WAN overlay. Instead of focusing on which servers are impacted, in this use case, the focus is the applications impacted.


Augtera Real-Time Syslog

Personnel: Bhupesh Kothari, Jim Meehan, John Heintz

An underinvested area by tools vendors is syslog. Specifically, use of syslog as a real-time data source for anomaly detection. Augtera has a rich syslog solution that includes real-time classifiers, easy/fast-add classifiers, and rate change anomalies. Recently, Augtera announced an industry first, real-time natural language processing (NLP) for syslog, based on Augtera’s own NLP algorithms. This capability allows Augtera to identify semantically new syslog messages in real-time, so they can be flagged to operations for inspection, and potential classification as anomalies. Operations teams can now sleep well knowing that new incident types will be detected and reported before they become persistent sources of failures and/or performance degradation.
