Solution Brief

Kentik AI

AI that thinks and works like a network engineer

Today’s network teams are drowning in complexity and data. Modern networks span data centers, clouds, WAN, and the internet; traffic shifts continuously, cloud costs spike without warning, and even the smallest change can have cascading impacts across service delivery. Traditional observability and AIOps tools aren’t enough to keep pace with this growing complexity and scale, particularly as budgets and headcount stay flat.

Kentik AI helps infrastructure teams regain control. This powerful suite of AI capabilities within the Kentik Network Intelligence Platform helps you design, operate, and protect your network with greater speed and accuracy. Kentik AI turns raw network telemetry into clear, actionable context – showing what’s happening, why it matters, and what to do next – so your team can stay ahead of incidents, control costs, and focus on delivering reliable digital experiences.

AI Advisor
Do more with an AI agent that thinks like a network engineer, reasoning through complex, multi-step problems and providing clear, actionable recommendations and insights.

Cause Analysis
Quickly find out what changed by automatically identifying what traffic dimension shifts contribute to sudden increases or decreases in traffic.

Natural Language Summaries
Get clear, plain-language overviews, analysis, and resolution guidance integrated into workflows like Cloud Pathfinder, insights, and incidents.

“During a recent investigation into malicious traffic transiting our network, AI Advisor quickly surfaced likely compromised endpoints, identified the botnet involved, and provided relevant command and control IPs — enabling rapid coordination and mitigation. Kentik AI helped to drastically reduce our time and effort to mitigate the outbound attacks.”

Kentik AI helps you:

Plan capacity and architecture with confidence

Analyze utilization, growth trends, and traffic paths so you know where to build, what to upgrade, or how to reroute before you are impacted.

Optimize cost and performance

Surface inefficient paths, wasteful egress, and suboptimal peering or transit choices so you can control costs and budget with precision.

Troubleshoot faster and reduce MTTR

Turn open-ended questions into multi-step investigations that pinpoint what changed, which services or devices are involved, and what to do next.

Cause Analysis in the Kentik platform

Streamline day-to-day operations and reporting

Generate natural-language summaries and leverage reusable runbooks that cut toil, improve consistency, and keep stakeholders aligned on impact and status.

Protect network reliability and resilience

Quickly distinguish legitimate from malicious traffic, understand business impact, and follow clear mitigation guidance.

Accelerate cloud and application investigations

Gain end-to-end visibility using Kentik’s unified network data foundation, which fuses traffic, synthetics, metrics, cloud telemetry, and context to reveal how network conditions affect application experience across regions and providers.
