Juniper Networks

The trends towards 400G in the cloud and among service providers, the digitisation of enterprises and the focus on end-user experience and cost are driving the need for operational automation and assurance solutions. With an expanded portfolio, features and solutions such as intent-based networking approaches, AI-based automation, real-time data, and an assurance service over the WAN network, Juniper provides the ideal solutions.

The move towards hybrid or multi-cloud data centre strategies, the desire to automate operations team tasks and the need for seamless integration of security and networking pose new challenges for design architecture, equipment and personnel. With the acquisition of Apstra and the integration of the solution, Juniper offers one of the leading intent-based fabric management solutions, complemented by contrail networking that enables policy-driven SDN.

The Covid pandemic has inevitably changed the way we work and digitised the workplace, boosting the home office and other new forms of workplaces. The resulting challenges for ICT managers and businesses include security, flexibility, end-user experience and the operation of wired, wireless and SD-WAN access infrastructure. The Juniper Mist-AI solution provides an answer to the challenges and eases the day-to-day life of operations teams through centralised management with a focus on end-user experience. Juniper Mist-AI provides a detailed insight into the quality of the network from the user's perspective and helps the operations team troubleshoot quickly.

Security is a top priority for Juniper Networks and is therefore offered holistically from the endpoint to the edge and every cloud in between. The solution covers infrastructure, users, applications and devices.

Juniper’s Mist AI-driven platform gives you a powerful solution by combining AI, machine learning and data sciences, all delivered through a modern and elastic microservices cloud. This allows you to optimise the user experience for your customers while bringing unprecedented insights and automation to the network. The Juniper Mist platform provides end-to-end visibility into the user experience and network operations services. The platform integrates Wireless and the Juniper Mist access points as well as Wired and the Juniper EX Switches. Furthermore, SD-WAN with the newly acquired 128 Technology that offers software-based routing and data centre through the recently acquired Apstra solution, which provides intent-based data centre operations, was integrated into the Juniper Mist plattform.

The 128T Networking Platform is the new state of the art for distributed, software-defined routing. The innovative networking platform offers businesses and services the ability to build service-centric fabrics in a simple, secure, high-performance and cost-effective way. The solution provides an answer to today's challenges by offering a network environment that provides businesses with the agility they need.

The Apstra Intent-Based Networking solution is the innovative way to automate the design, build, deployment and operation of data centre networks. With its intent-based analytics, the solution continuously validates the network, reducing complexity, vulnerabilities and outages, resulting in a secure and resilient network. Apstra's software and the use of Intent-Based Networking addresses the need for more efficient network management in the data centre, resulting in reduction in operating expenses.
