Type Description
Descriptive
Analytics
Summarizing data and presenting visually in a table or chart to monitor a
system or service.
Reactive
Analytics
Raising alarms based on events such as hardware failures. Uses traditional
rules and statistical methods such as clustering.
Predictive
Analytics
Predicting events and future states based on time series data. Can use
supervised, unsupervised or semi-supervised learning. Algorithms can be
linear (e.g., regression) or non-linear (neural networks, support vector
machines).
Prescriptive
Analytics
Similar to AI, where the goal is to identify an optimized sequence of steps or
actions to take. An example would be optimizing data routing across all
network nodes and end devices as traffic changes.
