Kentik, a recognized leader in network intelligence solutions, today announced the launch of The Kentik AI Advisor, a pioneering artificial intelligence system designed to deeply comprehend enterprise and service provider networks. This first-of-its-kind AI is capable of interpreting intent, developing strategic plans based on trillions of data points, and executing those plans reliably and securely.
Revolutionizing Network Operations
The Kentik AI Advisor has already demonstrated transformative benefits during its early access phase. Lucas Isidoro, a Network Engineer at Equinix, shared his experience: “What used to take thirty minutes now takes just seconds. We describe what we need, and AI Advisor manages the entire process—from data collection and analysis to delivering clear actionable insights. It’s drastically reducing troubleshooting times and making complex network analysis effortless.”
In an era where network teams face increasing resource constraints and a looming wave of impending retirements—about a quarter of U.S. network engineers are preparing to leave the workforce—Kentik AI Advisor offers a solution to drive significant efficiencies. It automates critical tasks across network, cloud, and infrastructure domains, empowering organizations to operate at greater scale and with enhanced security.
Advanced Capabilities Powered by Proprietary Technology
At its core, the AI Advisor leverages Kentik’s proprietary Data Engine, a highly scalable, real-time data platform ingesting over a trillion telemetry points daily. This enables seamless integration of cloud, device, flow, and internet data, providing a comprehensive view of network health and performance.
Combining advanced large language models (LLMs) and reasoning capabilities with Kentik’s deep network expertise and engineering insights, The Kentik AI Advisor interprets user intent, orchestrates investigations, and transparently explains its decision-making process.
Key Benefits for Network Teams
- Cost Optimization: Automates identification of cost efficiencies across on-premises and cloud networks. It can analyze all data to uncover opportunities for reducing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and transit costs, optimizing peering, and evaluating high-cost routes to enhance overall financial efficiency.
- Capacity Planning: Transforms reactive capacity planning into proactive, data-driven decision-making by analyzing utilization trends, forecasting future scenarios, and recommending infrastructure investments.
- Rapid Troubleshooting & DDoS Response: Accelerates incident response by correlating data from multiple sources, quickly pinpointing root causes, and distinguishing real threats from background noise. It provides clear recommendations for swift mitigation, helping maintain service stability.
- Tailored Insights: Extends beyond generic AI, leveraging internal runbooks and custom network context to deliver insights aligned with specific business needs.
Empowering Modern Infrastructure Teams
Avi Freedman, CEO and Co-Founder of Kentik, emphasized the strategic importance of this innovation: “Kentik AI Advisor is designed for modern infrastructure teams challenged with scaling operations, controlling costs, and safeguarding assets amid talent shortages. Unlike traditional AIOps, which only reduce alert noise, AI Advisor leverages a deep understanding of network intricacies to research, analyze, and recommend precise actions.”
Market Outlook and Future Impact
The global market for AI in networks is projected to grow dramatically—from an estimated USD 11.53 billion in 2024 to approximately USD 192.42 billion by 2034, according to Precedence Research. Kentik’s next-generation approach positions organizations to shift from reactive operations toward autonomous, predictive, and resilient networks—ensuring improved security, efficiency, and reliability.
Conclusion
With the launch of The Kentik AI Advisor, organizations now have a powerful tool to optimize network performance, reduce operational costs, and enhance security—all through a deeply intelligent, autonomous system designed for the demands of modern digital infrastructure.
