1. A method of predicting component failure, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by a communication protocol and with a virtual network controller that includes an analytics plane to analyze operations of a plurality of components in one or more virtual networks, a first parameter set from each of the components, wherein a parameter set from a component includes one or more quantitative parameters that each describes a state of the component;

    receiving, by the communication protocol and with the virtual network controller, an indication of detected component failure for one or more of the components;

    training, with the virtual network controller and using the first parameter sets and the indication of detected component failure, a trainable automated classifier to develop a classifying structure that distinguishes between component parameter sets that logically associate with a detected component failure and component parameter sets that do not logically associate with a detected component failure;

    receiving, by the communication protocol and with the virtual network controller, a second parameter set from each of the components; and

    predicting, with the virtual network controller using the trainable automated classifier and the classifying structure, a failure of a first one of the components.
