  • Patent number: 11604515
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to visualization for network virtualization platforms (“NVPs”) enhanced with non-visual sensory interactivity. A computer system can obtain data associated with an NVP. The computer system can generate a non-visual feedback environment representative of at least a portion of the network virtualization platform. The non-visual feedback environment can include non-visual sensory feedback to be presented to a user. The computer system also can receive one or more rules associated with the data. The rule(s) can be associated with one or more service elements of the NVP. The rule(s) alternatively or additionally can be associated with one or more events. The computer system can provide the non-visual sensory feedback via a non-visual sensory feedback device that outputs the non-visual sensory feedback to be sensed by the user. The non-visual sensory feedback can include audio feedback, haptic feedback, olfactory feedback, or some combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220311676
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to time-based visualizations for network virtualization platforms (“NVPs”). A computer system can obtain data associated with an NVP. The data can include present state data associated with a present state of the NVP, past state data associated with a past state of the NVP, and future state data associated with a predicted future state of the NVP. The computer system can generate a visualization of the data associated with the NVP. The computer system can present a temporal management function that includes a plurality of selections representative of the present state, the past state, and the predicted future state. The computer system can receive a selection, from the plurality of selections, of the present state, the past state, or the predicted future state. The computer system can manipulate the visualization in accordance with the selection and output the visualization.
