Move to AI-Native Networking Faster with Juniper Global Services Solution Brief

IT needs a deployment accelerator pedal

The only constant for IT teams is change, and the pace of change is accelerating. For IT leaders, the time between a technology solution decision and deployment can be daunting. The faster the solution is turned up, the faster an organization and its IT teams can reap the rewards.

Installing new products, software, and systems requires methodical planning and precise execution. Employees and management only notice if deployments go wrong, so it’s crucial to plan and execute with best practices and practical expertise to avoid disruptions and delays.

Plus, IT teams must navigate new equipment and systems, and new processes may be required. How can the team quickly uplevel its skills and knowledge? What are the best practices for accelerating deployment? How can the team minimize risk during the rollout or migration? How can seamless operation be ensured from Day 2+?

• Juniper Validated Designs

Juniper Validated Designs (JVDs) help cut through complexity with detailed, fully validated, end-to-end hardware and software designs. Each JVD targets a specific deployment use case across the network and includes itemized components, installation processes, and a cutover checklist.

• Adapted to your requirements

Juniper tailors deployment services to fit your company’s and team’s needs. With a focus on rapid and minimally disruptive solution deployments, Juniper experts will keep projects on track. If a packaged service does not fit your organization’s requirements, Juniper can usually customize and quote a mix of service elements that will.

Juniper is transforming how our customers realize the value of AI-Native Networking through a suite of collaborative services designed to de-risk deployment and dramatically shorten time to value.

From preparation to deployment, adoption to growth, Juniper is available every step of the way, offering knowledge transfers and best practices to ensure that your team is ready to excel Day 2+.

Juniper experts will listen to your organizational needs and guide your team through a discovery workshop to achieve alignment on project objectives, size, and scope. Together, we will establish a project timeline that meets your company’s goals.

Based on the discovery workshop and applicable JVDs, Juniper will create templates or configurations that match your organization’s unique requirements.

Juniper creates the execution steps, checklists, and validation tests to help smooth a successful implementation of the solution design.

Juniper engineers who understand your deployment can be available during maintenance windows to support your team and help troubleshoot issues in real time during cutover, depending on the service selected.

Juniper leverages its tools, automation, and experience to help accelerate implementation tasks and avoid errors and disruptions.

Plan tests that validate the design, ensure configurations are deployed as planned, and network functions operate as desired.

Ensure the IT team is ready to run their new AI-Native Network with detailed knowledge transfer about your specific deployed solution, its configuration, and how to manage ongoing operations.

To ensure that newly deployed solutions are operating as planned, Juniper’s post-deployment services can include extra time after cutover, operational optimizations, or advanced capability support.
