While identifying these shades of ignorance and knowledge is essential, the actual breakthrough is recognizing that only issues within the Known-Knowns realm can be effectively and proactively tackled.
The aforementioned taxonomy exercise and its logical conclusion lead to the real challenge: how can Unknowns and, therefore, unmanageable categories be strategically converted into useful Knowns, enabling preemptive network management?
The journey to transform uncertainties into Known-Knowns begins with precise and accurate quantitative and qualitative measurements, systematically collecting results, rigorously analyzing them, and extracting meaningful actionable insights.
OutSys ProbOS is a powerful, versatile, and comprehensive active network monitoring solution designed to measure key operational metrics, assess quality, and build up strategic and usable knowledge.
The ProbOS Probes, available as software-only or integrated hardware/software options, offer expandable programmable measurement testing capabilities. These include Quality-Attenuation, Bandwidth-Speed, Time-To-First-Byte, and other qualitative key performance metrics.
The ProbOS Orchestrator manages the Probes, their pools, and test campaigns, ensuring efficient data collection, summarization, and storage.
Additionally, the ProbOS HiPerf-Reflectors ensure accuracy, precision, data integrity, and reliability under heavy measurement loads.
Meanwhile, the ProbOS Correlator's powerful analytics pinpoint potential problems before they impact network performance, functionalities, services, and, consequently, the user experience.
The OutSys ProbOS solution's measurement metrics are based on Broadband Forum (BBF), Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) , and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) open standards, protocols, best practices, and initiatives. Therefore, its results are always transparent and verifiable without relying on proprietary opaque methodologies.
