Visualize and Correlate changes to network device to anomalies in network

NOM products enable users to manage their network by enforcing controlled changes to configuration of network devices apart from monitoring performance, fault and compliance of all devices in their network. While monitoring a network, it is always been a challenge to deduce and represent correlation, among anomalies across thousands of devices, in a format that users can consume, validate and act on. This paper proposes a method to deduce and visualize, possibly related anomalies on connected devices in the network based on user’s selection of an anomaly on a device of interest. While this paper takes network domain as an example to demonstrate the idea, it could be applied to any of the infrastructure and application management solutions in a datacenter. This paper proposes a unique approach to solve this problem by leveraging ML and network operator’s deployment/domain knowledge

Drivers of Private Equity Investment in CEE and Western European Countries

A strong private equity market is a cornerstone for commercialization and innovation in modern economies. However, substantial differences exist in the relative amounts raised and invested in private equity across European countries. We investigate the macro-determinants of private equity investment in Europe, focusing on the comparison between CEE and Western European countries. Our estimations are based on a data set running from 2001 to 2008 and covers 14 Western European and three CEE countries. Applying robust estimation techniques we identify a 'robust' set of determinants of private equity activity in both regions. We find similarities as well as differences in the driving forces of private equity investments in Western European and CEE countries. Our results suggest that commercial bank lending, equity market capitalization, unit labour costs and corporate tax rates are significant determinants of private equity activity
