AppLogic Networks Completes Live Trial at JANOG57 in Osaka, Powering New AI-Driven Dashboards to Enhance NOC Team’s Capabilities

(BUSINESS WIRE)--AppLogic Networks today announced the results of a live trial deployment at JANOG57 in Osaka, where the JANOG Network Operations Center (“NOC”) team used AppLogic Networks data for real-time monitoring, troubleshooting, and experience reporting during the event. The trial showcased an Elevated Observability approach that goes beyond traditional monitoring by adding B.E.S.T. insights (Behavior, Experience, Sentiment, and Trends) that help teams make faster decisions, reduce guesswork, and support new services in high-demand environments.

Hosted by SAKURA internet Inc., JANOG57 is one of Japan’s largest operator conferences that brings together thousands of attendees, dozens of sessions, and more than 100 booths. AppLogic Networks participated as an infrastructure supplier, supporting the NOC team alongside other technology vendors.

AI-driven experience scoring powered by AppLogic Networks data

During the event, the NOC team streamed AppLogic Networks data into Grafana and quickly built dashboards with a one-minute interval refresh rate they could use live.

A standout capability was AI-driven App QoE scoring, a sentiment-style scoring system derived from AppLogic Networks’ B.E.S.T. insights that enabled the NOC to view Quality of Experience by access point, room, and floor location.

“We were impressed with how quickly we could stand up live dashboards and focus on the areas that needed attention,” said Yota Egusa, Executive Officer, CIO and CISO, SAKURA internet Inc. “AppLogic Networks’ App QoE at the access point level gave the NOC real-time visibility into end-user experience without waiting for user reports, and it helped us make faster, more confident decisions, including where to deploy standby access points. We also used AppLogic Networks’ AI co-pilot solution (AI AppAnalyst) to generate on-demand queries from natural language questions, which made the data far more practical in the moment than static reports.”

Real-world operational wins during the event

The trial supported practical NOC workflows under live conditions, including:

• Faster DNS troubleshooting: When one DNS server stopped responding, the NOC could see inbound queries without outbound responses in live views, helping confirm the issue quickly.
• IPv4 and IPv6 clarity: With IPv4 assigned by DHCP and IPv6 assigned by RA, the NOC monitored v4 and v6 traffic volume separately to understand differences in behavior and experience.
• IPv6 load-balance validation: The team compared router traffic volumes to verify whether router to router IPv6 traffic distribution was working as intended.
• Security and policy-driven insight: The team monitored network activity for anomalous behavior potentially associated with malware and confirmed that no such malicious activity was observed during the event.
• Easy to integrate into existing tools: The team streamed AppLogic Networks data into Grafana and used it alongside existing Wi-Fi and operational tools, without requiring any system replacement. By integrating client-to-AP association data obtained via the Juniper Mist API, the team was able to analyze App QoE on a per-access-point basis with greater contextual accuracy.

Why this matters: Do more and create premium services

At a large-scale, community-driven event, the objective goes beyond simply maintaining network uptime. For the NOC team, it is about creating a stable and seamless connectivity experience that allows all participants to engage comfortably without being conscious of the underlying network. At the same time, it is also about ensuring that each NOC member leaves the event with a genuine sense of accomplishment, having strengthened their own skills, confidence, and professional growth through operational experience.

When QoE can be measured and visualized by location, the NOC team can better understand how participants are experiencing the network in real time. This shared visibility fosters collaboration, supports timely operational decisions, and helps the team maintain a smooth and comfortable environment for everyone involved.

“We’re grateful to the teams at JANOG57 for their collaboration and technical partnership throughout the trial,” said Samir Marwaha, Chief Strategy Officer at AppLogic Networks. “JANOG57 reinforced that when network performance is expressed in experience terms, grounded in location and application context, teams gain clearer operational insight and can respond more effectively in real time. In commercial environments, this same approach can also support differentiated, experience-based services.”
