RUCKUS AI Introduction

RUCKUS AI is a cloud service that delivers robust service assurance for IT and business intelligence to line-of-business stakeholders to help customers get the most from their enterprise network. Powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms, this cloud service simplifies operations by automatically classifying service incidents by severity-tracing root causes, and recommending steps for remediation. AI automatically recommends configurations that optimize the RF environment in the customer's network. RUCKUS AI enables line-of-business stakeholders to define and monitor business key performance indicators (KPIs) for better business outcomes.

Smartzone controllers, access points, and switches serve as data sources for measuring and collecting metrics related to KPIs, connectivity status and flows, traffic, applications, and more. The data is packaged by the AP, switch, or controller as lightweight streaming telemetry and sent to the cloud through a secure transport. Once in the cloud, data is ingested into a scalable and efficient data warehouse, analyzed using machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms, and presented for your consumption in several different formats for a variety of use cases.
