Machine Learning in Enterprise Networking Solutions

The last few years have seen an explosion in the number of global companies that have started leveraging machine learning (ML) to convert data to business opportunities. Is there a role of machine learning in enterprise networking? The answer is a loud and resounding YES. However, more often than not, I see a number of IT companies starting this exploration of ML because it makes headlines and helps creates a buzz. This approach would fizzle out as it would not solve any major problems for their customers.
