Understanding the state of your network and infrastructure is a critical responsibility for operations teams. Without their ever-watchful eye, network issues can cause problems ranging from annoying performance issues to downtime. To detect, prevent, and address these issues, operations teams have relied on a combination of monitoring and manual correlation, leveraging whatever tools were available.

Selector returned to Networking Field Day this year to present our latest developments in network AIOps. Cofounder and CTO Nitin Kumar, along with VP Solutions Engineering Debashis Mohanty and Principal Solution Architect John Heintz, explored how Selector’s GenAI-driven conversational interface promises to not only address today’s network operations challenges, but transform the industry. Read on to catch the highlights of the live-streamed presentation which occurred on July 11, 2024.

Quality medical care today relies on “health systems” built from geographically distributed healthcare settings such as hospitals, urgent care clinics, imaging centers, nursing homes, pharmacies, and specialist offices, among many others. Each setting shares data within the broader health system through Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). EMR systems, which were purpose-built to manage patient records, help improve patient outcomes through the real-time sharing of patient data.

For the second consecutive year, Selector has been recognized as a Best Place to Work in the Bay Area. In 2023, the company was ranked among the top 10 companies with 25–49 employees. This year, the company ranked again in the top 10. This regional award is sponsored by the San Francisco Business Times and Silicon Valley Business Journal in collaboration with Quantum Workplace—an employee engagement data firm.

Network performance plays a key role in service delivery, acutely impacting user experience. However, enterprise teams have long struggled with comprehensive insight into network performance and, when necessary, the ability to hold circuit vendors accountable.

Selector has received the 2024 Data Breakthrough Award for Data Observability Innovation of the Year in the Data Management category! This accomplishment marks the second year Selector has received a Data Breakthrough Award, winning Best AIOps Platform in 2023. In this post, learn more about this award and how it reflects our unique approach to data observability.

Selector offers comprehensive monitoring, observability, and AIOps solutions for service providers and enterprises. The process begins with collecting, aggregating, and analyzing multi-domain operational data from various sources, such as SNMP, streaming telemetry, syslogs, and Kafka. Selector then applies advanced AI/ML techniques to power features such as anomaly detection, event correlation, root cause analysis (RCA), smart alerting, and a conversational GenAI-driven chat tool, Selector Copilot.

Selector is excited to give a sneak peek into new features to be included in our forthcoming Spring Release. This release highlights key innovations focusing on integrated generative AI (GenAI) to enable guided troubleshooting and automated incident remediation. It also includes enhancements to several existing features, such as root cause analysis, native monitoring, and observability capabilities.

Network scale, health, and performance continue to play an increasingly critical role in the modern enterprise. With substantial and ongoing investment in monitoring and observability tools, businesses strive to more efficiently manage their networks and infrastructure. However, a combination of new networking technologies, increasing complexity, and reduced headcount is putting pressure on their disjointed legacy ecosystem.
