Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier Enhances Network Monitoring with BENOCS and Anodot Solution

Bonn, Germany, May 31, 2022 – Leading telecommunications provider Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier has announced the implementation of a superior network monitoring solution.

The new service is the result of the wholesale supplier’s partnership with BENOCS and autonomous business monitoring company Anodot. It has significantly reduced costs and effort by allowing only relevant anomaly alerts to be received. At the same time, unnecessary alert noise has been eliminated.

Carsten Bruns, Vice President Internet & Content Services from Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier said, “Having been a satisfied BENOCS customer for a number of years now, we decided it was time to take the next monitoring step. The integration of Anodot’s anomaly detection technology with BENOCS’ comprehensive Flow Analytics has already saved us valuable time in identifying irregularities and rectifying network issues.”

“Telco service providers must process an immense amount of data from multiple sources to ensure optimal service across their complex network environments. By monitoring granular performance and fault data in real-time and providing automated insights, Anodot enables communications services providers to identify and resolve issues quicker. Alert noise will now be a thing of the past for Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier,” said David Drai, CEO, Anodot.

Stephan Schröder, CEO of BENOCS, added, “We are happy to have our biggest customer, Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier, on board to really put Anodot’s anomaly detection to the test. We look forward to discovering just how much they benefit from its integration into their BENOCS analytics capabilities.”

Anodot’s automated insights combine performance and fault monitoring to give communications service providers an end-to-end view for real-time detection of service-impacting incidents. Anodot autonomously learns the normal behavior of all business metrics and constantly monitors each metric in real-time. Its correlation engine connects anomalies across all data stacks, identifies events and contributing factors, and slashes time to detection and remediation of incidents. Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier is the first customer worldwide to install the joint BENOCS-Anodot solution for AI-powered anomaly detection into its IP-network monitoring system.

Anomaly detection done right

Network visibility is our specialty: We can show you things about your internet traffic that you never knew. By utilizing various internet protocols such as IGP, BGP, SNMP, NetFlow and DNS, BENOCS Flow Analytics already helps you and your company – among other things – improve peering negotiations, prospect new customers, improve capacity planning and, of course, improve customer service.

You’ll forgive me the 1980’s infomercial reference, but here it comes:

But wait, there’s more!

Recently we teamed up with AI champs Anodot to give our customers even more insights into their network traffic.

You might be familiar with the following scenario: You sign up for notifications to alert you of important incidents affecting your network.  You set manual thresholds, outside of which the alarm bells start ringing: Here! Something important needs your immediate attention!

So, you quickly check the situation. False alarm.

Soon after, the next alert lands in your inbox: This time it’s worked. Thank goodness for alerts!

Then another alert comes in. And another. More false alarms.

Suddenly you are inundated with alerts, only a small proportion of which are useful. As a result, you generally don’t even bother much with them, deleting them with little more than a brief scan.

Problem solved

Anodot uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to learn normal traffic patterns, detect and correlate anomalies, and create real-time alerts based on deviations from normal network traffic. This approach eliminates the problem of alert “noise”, that is, being spammed by alerts that shouldn’t be alerts in the first place.

Thanks to the integration of Anodot’s autonomous monitoring into BENOCS, one click in your email alert will send you straight to the relevant event in Flow Analytics, where you can study the issue in your network and remediate failures before they impact revenues.
