Module Dependency

Data collection

Before feeding data to ML algorithms, it is essential to pre-process and clean the data. This module includes data cleaning, data normalization, and feature extraction.

Data Pre-processing

Before feeding data to ML algorithms, it is essential to pre-process and clean the data. This module includes data cleaning, data normalization, and feature extraction.

ML Algorithms

A wide variety of ML algorithms are available for infrastructure monitoring solutions, such as supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. Choosing the appropriate algorithm depends on the specific use case and the nature of the data.

Model Training

After selecting the appropriate ML algorithm, the next step is to train the model on the data. This process involves optimizing the model parameters to improve accuracy and performance.

Database modules

These modules are responsible for storing and managing the performance data collected by the data collection modules. They may use different database technologies, such as SQL or NoSQL databases.

Integration modules

These modules are responsible for integrating the Trace9 4.0 SD-WAN Performance Monitor with other network monitoring systems and tools. They may use APIs or other integration methods to exchange data with other systems

Model Validation

Once the model is trained, it is essential to validate its performance using separate validation data to ensure that the model is not overfitting the training data.

Model Deployment

After the model is trained and validated, it needs to be deployed into the production environment. This module includes creating APIs, integrating the model into the monitoring solution, and providing dashboards to visualize the results.

Scalability

To address scalability challenges, several techniques and technologies can be used, such as

Distributed Computing Distributed computing frameworks, such as Apache Spark or Hadoop, can be used to distribute the computation across multiple nodes, enabling faster processing of large datasets.

Cloud Computing Cloud computing provides virtually unlimited computing resources that can be used for ML computations. By leveraging cloud computing, organizations can scale up or down their infrastructure based on demand.

Hardware Acceleration Specialized hardware, such as GPUs or FPGAs, can be used to accelerate ML computations, enabling faster processing of large datasets.

Model Optimization Optimizing the ML algorithms to reduce their complexity and improve their performance can also improve scalability.

Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) AutoML tools can automatically identify the best ML models for a given dataset, reducing the need for manual intervention and enabling faster model development.
