Kentik has unveiled Kentik AI Advisor, the first agentic AI solution designed to deeply understand enterprise and service provider networks, enabling intelligent decision-making across network operations, cost optimization, and security. The launch marks a significant advancement in network intelligence, empowering teams to design, operate, and protect infrastructure at scale with unprecedented efficiency. Kentik AI Advisor leverages the company’s proprietary Kentik Data Engine—a real-time, ultra-scalable platform that processes a trillion telemetry points daily—to unify data from cloud environments, network devices, traffic flows, and internet sources. By combining advanced large language models with deep network expertise and contextual engineering knowledge, the AI can interpret user intent, develop action plans, execute tasks securely, and explain its reasoning step by step. Network engineers are already seeing transformative results. Lucas Isidoro, Network Engineer III at Equinix, shared that tasks once taking 30 minutes now take seconds. “We simply describe what we need, and AI Advisor handles the entire process—pulling data, analyzing it, and delivering clear answers. It’s made complex network analysis effortless and drastically reduced troubleshooting time.” The solution delivers key benefits across critical areas. In cost optimization, it automatically identifies savings opportunities across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments by analyzing VPC and transit costs, peering arrangements, and high-cost routing paths. For capacity planning, it forecasts utilization trends, predicts run-out scenarios, and recommends optimal infrastructure investments—shifting planning from reactive to proactive. During incidents, especially DDoS attacks, AI Advisor accelerates response by correlating flow, device, and cloud data to pinpoint root causes quickly and distinguish real threats from noise, significantly reducing mean time to resolution. A standout feature is its integration of institutional knowledge. Unlike generic AI tools, Kentik AI Advisor incorporates internal runbooks, custom network configurations, and business-specific context to deliver tailored, actionable insights. Avi Freedman, CEO and Co-Founder of Kentik, emphasized the tool’s unique value: “Unlike traditional AIOps that only react to alerts, Kentik AI Advisor understands the full network context. It researches issues, analyzes trends, and recommends precise actions—empowering teams to operate more effectively despite growing complexity and talent shortages.” With the global AI in networks market projected to grow from $15.28 billion in 2025 to $192.42 billion by 2034, according to Precedence Research, Kentik’s agentic AI approach positions organizations to move beyond reactive management toward proactive, autonomous network operations. Kentik AI Advisor is now available to customers, helping modern infrastructure teams enhance performance, reduce costs, and strengthen security—all while navigating a challenging talent landscape.
