Huawei CampusInsight, a network intelligent analysis platform, overrides
traditional resource monitoring. It collects network data in real time using the
Telemetry technology, learns network behavior and identify fault patterns based
on Big Data analysis and machine learning algorithms, helping O&M personnel
proactively discover 85% network issues and build excellent network service
experience.
[Key Components]
Built based on big data platform, CampusInsight uses the Streaming Telemetry
technology to collect device data in quasi-real time, analyzes features and
calculates baselines based on machine learning algorithms, automatically
identifies network faults, and displays analysis results on a graphical user
interface (GUI).

Experience Evaluation System, Driving Proactive Network Optimization

The experience evaluation system displays the overall evaluation result of campus client experience quality based on the
access success rate, access time consuming, throughput fulfillment rate, capacity fulfillment rate, coverage, roaming
fulfillment rate, and device in-service rate. CampusInsight can analyze the distribution of metrics and objects in depth to
clearly determine the network quality. It can also provides comparison and analysis of different time and areas and sends
quality evaluation reports in real time or periodically through emails, helping administrators proactively optimize networks.
CampusInsight can drive continuous improvement from poor experience to good experience.

Graphical Topology Management, Displaying Issue Location and Distribution

For planned areas or sites, administrators can import background images, deploy APs, and perform various topology
operations such as zooming in, zooming out, and searching. Issue distribution can be displayed based on AP, helping
administrators troubleshoot issues based on AP locations.

Issue Statistics Overview, Quickly Evaluating Issue Impacts

Overall issue trend and dimension-based issue distribution can be displayed, and administrators can view the issue status
attribute (active/inactive) and number of affected clients, helping the administrators evaluate the issue timeliness and
impact scope.

Multi-dimensional Issue Distribution, Quickly Focusing on Points with More Issues

The heatmap can display the number of issues occurred on different devices, number of affected clients, and issue change
trend. Administrators can perform cross-time and cross-space comparison and analysis to view devices and time ranges
with more issues. This enables the administrators to quickly focus on issue points and conduct proactive O&M.

Correlative Impact Analysis, Quickly Analyzing and Demarcating Issues

Issue impacts can be displayed in multiple dimensions based on the AC, vendor, SSID, AP, client, and root cause. Impacts
on different objects are displayed in area charts. The larger the area is, the greater the impact is. By comparing the area
distribution, administrators can determine whether an issue is a group issue or an individual issue. Multi-dimensional
correlation analysis is supported to quickly locate root causes of issues through layer-by-layer drilling.

Historical Network Behavior Playback, Quickly Tracing Issues

The aggregated issue information list can be viewed, helping administrators play back historical network behavior. The
aggregated issue information includes the associated device, duration, number of affected clients, and number of
occurrences of each issue.

Root Cause Analysis and Rectification Suggestions, Assisting Issue Closure

Administrators can view details about an issue, including the duration, activeness, distribution trend, and impact scope. In
addition, the system can match fault scenarios based on the fault knowledge base, automatically identify root causes, and
provide rectification suggestions, helping administrators to troubleshooting and rectifying the issue. In addition, the system
can compare the faulty devices with other devices to quickly identify high-risk objects, providing a basis for proactive
optimization.

Dynamic Baseline-based Exception Detection, Proactively Identifying Connectivity Issues

Administrators can view the overall issue distribution during client going-online and globally review the network access
quality. Connectivity issues are classified at the association, authentication, and DHCP phases, helping administrators to
demarcate faults. Distribution of affected APs and affected clients can be displayed in area charts, helping administrators
quickly determine the impact scope and affected objects and take specific measures.

In addition, CampusInsight uses the machine learning algorithm to learn a large amount of network feature data and create
the baseline. In addition, CampusInsight dynamically adjusts the baseline based on the changes of network feature data.
By comparing the actual network data with the dynamic baseline, administrators can identify exception points before
network quality deterioration.

Client Experience Trend and Distribution, Proactively Identifying Performance Issues

Administrators can view the overall issue distribution during network use and globally review network performance
experience. The proportion and trend of clients with good, medium, and poor experience can be displayed based on
metrics such as the RSSI, negotiated rate, and packet loss rate, helping administrators quickly detect client experience on
the live network. Distribution of affected APs and affected clients can be displayed in area charts, helping administrators

6
 CampusInsight Data sheet
quickly determine the impact scope and affected objects and take specific measures.

Full-Journey Experience Visualization, Guaranteeing Experience for Each Client at Each Moment
Administrators can search for a specific client by the client MAC address and client name. In addition, administrators can
draw a profile of a client to view basic client information, metric overview, connectivity issue distribution, and experience
trend.

Administrators can draw the client journey based on the client access history. By playing back client experience on the
network, administrators can check client experience (who, when, which AP is connected, what is the experience, and what
issues occur) on a profound basis. This helps the administrators sense network experience from the client perspective.
