Learn how artificial intelligence is transforming network operations through Kentik's AI Advisor platform. Philip Gervasi and Sean McGinley discuss the evolution from traditional network visibility to network intelligence, emphasizing that AI should augment, rather than replace, network engineers. They demonstrate how Kentik's AI Advisor uses natural language interfaces to perform automated root cause analysis, troubleshooting, and cost optimization.

Introducing Kentik AI Advisor. AI with a comprehensive understanding of your network that thinks critically and advises how to design, operate, and protect infrastructure at scale. With the rise of hybrid cloud networks and the growing demands of AI infrastructure, network teams are under pressure to balance cost, performance, and security, often with limited resources that delay critical strategic initiatives.

Kentik NMS (Network Monitoring System), part of the Kentik Network Intelligence Platform, brings true visibility and context to network operations. See how device metrics, traffic data, and application insights come together to eliminate blind spots—so your critical workloads, like AI training and inference, run smoothly and reliably.

Transform your network strategy from guesswork to data-driven. In this session, you'll learn how to: Build a peering & transit strategy that cuts costs. Model real connectivity costs per customer. Use dashboards to improve margins and renewals. Ask natural-language questions with Kentik AI. Join experts from Kentik, NetMavens, and Seaborn Networks, hosted by Capacity Media, to align your network reality with your commercial goals.

Kentik Data Explorer is the heart of Kentik, where raw network telemetry is transformed into actionable insights. Yet many users don’t realize just how much they can do with it, or how Data Explorer connects to other parts of the Kentik platform. In this session, we walk through the fundamentals of using Data Explorer effectively, provide real-world examples, and highlight how it ties into workflows such as alerting, dashboards, and troubleshooting.

Go behind the scenes of a major internet analysis. When the recent Red Sea cable cuts disrupted global connectivity, Kentik's Director of Internet Analysis, Doug Madory, turned to the Cloud Latency Map to track the fallout in real-time. In this clip from the latest Telemetry Now podcast, Doug walks through how he identified the latency spikes and rerouting caused by the damage.

Network operators prioritize cost, performance, security, and reliability as their core foundational needs. But how do they get the economic data to make tradeoffs when one of these needs suffers? Tune into the latest Telemetry Now with special guest Lauren Basile to learn how Kentik Traffic Costs is providing data-backed answers to these questions.

Why is it so difficult to answer the age-old question CFOs are asking, "What's the real cost of delivering this traffic?" Complex billing structures and cost modeling are only part of it. Lauren Basile joins Phillip Gervasi to discuss turning network telemetry into financial insight in the latest episode of Telemetry Now.

Learn how Kentik's automated traffic cost workflow provides instant visibility into network traffic costs, enabling you to optimize spend, improve margins, and make smarter business decisions. In this demo, you'll see practical examples like evaluating costs by AS group and downstream customer, helping network, finance, and commercial teams take immediate, actionable steps to reduce costs and boost efficiency.

Agentic AI is not just hype—it’s a force multiplier that enables infrastructure and operations teams to do more, with less effort, in less time. Importantly, it helps IT teams compress time to resolution and even proactively detect and respond to issues, before they escalate.
