Abstract
A computer-implemented method, a system, and a network include receiving network data from a network and non-network sourced data from one or more external sources relative to the network; performing data mining on the network data and the non-network sourced data; developing a predictive analytics model based on the data mining; and performing predictive analytics on the network data and the non-network sourced data using the predictive analytics model to detect likely future failures in the network. The network can include a Software Defined Network (SDN) operating at any of Layers 0, 1, 2 and/or 3.
