In an era when networks power everything—cloud services, remote work, streaming, global commerce—visibility and rapid, accurate analysis are no longer optional. Kentik has positioned itself at the intersection of observability and AI, delivering a platform that not only collects high-fidelity network telemetry at scale but also applies machine intelligence to turn that data into clear, actionable insight.
The result: enterprises have an extremely powerful platform to detect, investigate, and resolve widespread and subtle network issues faster and with more confidence.
Kentik’s platform ingests diverse telemetry, e.g., flow records, BGP routing, active probes, service metrics, etc., and centralizes it into a single, queryable dataset. On top of that foundation, Kentik layers AI-driven capabilities that accelerate triage, surface anomalous patterns, and provide contextual explanations of root causes. This combination is especially powerful for incidents that span providers, continents, and complex routing policies.
The power of Kentik has been seen all over the news recently. Doug Madory, Kentik’s Director of Internet Analysis, often leverages the power of Kentik to illuminate major global network incidents. Madory’s work—widely cited by international media and used by operators and researchers—demonstrates how Kentik’s telemetry and tooling enable fast, accurate insight into outages, routing manipulations, and internet fragmentation. From identifying routing anomalies tied to geopolitical events to documenting large-scale IP address migrations and regional internet isolation, Kentik’s platform gives analysts the evidence base they need to trace causes, measure impact, and explain complex behavior.
Recent high-profile investigations into the internet outages in Iran and Ukraine illustrate the platform’s power. Kentik-powered analysis has been used to track deliberate national-level disconnections and partial internet blackouts, revealing both the technical mechanisms and the operational impact on users and services. The same investigative capabilities have been applied to more routine but equally disruptive events, e.g., large-scale IPv4 migrations, cloud-to-cloud routing shifts, and carrier-level outages, where quick, precise diagnosis is essential to restoring service.
Kentik’s newest AI enhancements extend its utility further. By integrating generative and analytic models tuned for network telemetry, Kentik helps engineers prioritize likely root causes, generate suggested diagnostic steps, and translate complex signals into human-readable narratives. That agentic assistance reduces mean-time-to-repair, helping teams focus on remediation instead of wrestling with raw telemetry.
In the modern AI era, networks are both a critical infrastructure and a primary surface for business risk. Performance degradations and connectivity failures directly hit customer experience, revenue, and operational reliability. Kentik provides the data fidelity, correlation across control and data planes, and AI-accelerated analysis enterprises need to detect emerging problems early, understand their scope, and take corrective action decisively.
Whether defending against outages, investigating unusual routing changes, or ensuring healthy cloud migrations, Kentik gives teams a complete, evidence-based view of what’s happening on the global internet and inside their own networks.
With expert practitioners like Doug Madory demonstrating the platform’s investigative power and AI-driven features that speed diagnosis and remediation, Kentik is a must-have for any enterprise that depends on reliable connectivity and digital experience.
