Juniper Networks has announced a new Routing Assurance product, the first in the industry to bring AI-Native automation and insight to traditional edge routing topologies.
The company also announced that its WAN Assurance, Premium Analytics, and Marvis® Virtual Network Assistant (VNA) products have been augmented with new and unique AI for Networking capabilities that deliver simple, seamless, and secure SD-WAN and SASE experiences.
With these latest platform enhancements, Juniper is the only vendor with a single AI-Native Platform that reduces operational expenditures by up to 85 percent in some instances across the entire networking footprint.
The augmented Juniper solution leverages AI for Networking to drive even more value to enterprise WAN environments:
Marvis Minis, Juniper’s digital experience twin solution that improves network ops by diagnosing real authentication issues without requiring users/devices, has been extended to SD-WAN.
New WAN speed tests can be continuously run (without users having to be present) to verify link speeds and take proactive actions if problems are detected.
With this latest Marvis Minis expansion, Juniper is the first vendor to span wired, wireless and WAN with a single AI-Native digital experience twin solution, enabling exceptional end-to-end user experiences.
In addition, existing WAN service level expectations (SLEs) for WAN edge health, link health and application health have been augmented with a new SLE that tracks WAN congestion.
The new WAN Congestion SLE alerts operators when their network interfaces are being over-utilised, which causes poor user experiences. Juniper has expanded its unique streaming dynamic packet capture (dPCAP) solution for wireless and wired to now include WAN.
With WAN dPCAP, the Juniper WAN Assurance solution proactively captures packets during a bad incident to help identify and fix hard-to-find issues, avoiding expensive and time-consuming site visits.
Finally, new application insights offer network operators a user-friendly visualization of the traffic traversing the SD-WAN, enabling them to see bandwidth-intensive applications and enable accurate planning and problem remediation.
“Since the launch of our AI-Native Networking Platform in January, Juniper has delivered on the promise to build out our industry-leading AIOps across all enterprise network domains. Now embracing routing, these latest innovations enable simplified, fast assurance, monitoring, troubleshooting and issue resolution across multiple branch office, WAN Edge and peering locations.
We are also uniquely combining the security and networking domains operationally, enabling insight-driven, holistic security management and audit within the broader networking context, replacing silos with collaboration. All these new innovations further enable exceptional, secure user experiences for the enterprise,” Sunalini Sankhavaram, vice president, product development, Juniper Networks said.
