Juniper Networks is bringing its AI-based management technology to its intent-based data center software, Apstra, in an effort to simplify design, deployment and operations. The move brings Juniper’s wired, wireless data center, campus and branch networking products under one common offering, which the networking vendor calls its AI-Native Networking Platform.
Central to the AI-Native Networking Platform are the firm’s cloud-based, natural language Mist AI and Marvis virtual network assistant (VNA) technology. Juniper’s Mist AI engine analyzes data from myriad networked access points and devices so it can detect, offer actionable resolutions, and fix anomalies and problems.
