An improved core network that can monitor micro-level issues, identify specific services of specific nodes that may be causing an outage, and perform targeted node failovers in a manner that does not cause unnecessary disruptions in service is described herein. For example, the improved core network can include a failover and isolation server (FIS) system. The FIS system can obtain service-specific KPIs from the various nodes in the core network. The FIS can then compare the obtained KPI values of the respective service with corresponding threshold values. If any KPI value exceeds a corresponding threshold value, the FIS may preliminarily determine that the service of the node associated with the KPI value is responsible for a service outage. The FIS can initiate a failover operation, which causes the node to re-route any received requests corresponding to the service potentially responsible for the service outage to a redundant node.
