Mist, the AI-Native Networking Platform

AI-native networking refers to computer networking systems that are conceived and developed with artificial intelligence (AI) integration as a core component to enable simpler operations, increased productivity, and reliable performance at scale. Unlike systems where AI is added as an afterthought or a “bolted on” feature, AI-native networking is fundamentally built from the ground up around AI and machine learning (ML) techniques.

Unlike traditional networking solutions, the Mist platform is inherently designed with AI integration at the core. It’s purpose-built to leverage AI for enhanced network management and operations and deliver robust infrastructure for AI workloads. This fundamental integration enables advanced capabilities like predictive analytics, real-time optimization, and autonomous issue resolution, setting the platform apart from conventional networks that rely heavily on manual intervention and oversight.

An AI-native networking platform simplifies network management and improves productivity by automating processes and providing proactive insights. It enables IT to rapidly find and remediate issues, ensuring that network performance is high-quality and reliable. It’s also built to scale—sustainably handling AI workloads demanded now and in the future.

AI-native networking enhances management by automating routine tasks, predicting network issues, and optimizing performance in real time. This leads to increased network reliability, reduced downtime, and streamlined operations, allowing IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives instead of day-to-day maintenance.

AI-native networking enhances network visibility, allowing operators to quickly identify and resolve issues through event correlation, anomaly detection, and root causes analysis. This proactive approach not only prevents disruptions but also autonomously optimizes network performance, ensuring end users experience reliable and high-performing connectivity.

Juniper’s Mist AI-native networking platform is a unique platform that’s built from the ground up to leverage AIOps and provide high-performing AI data center networking solutions. The platform extends AI operations to all parts of the network—across the wired, wireless, WAN, security and data center—with a common cloud and AI assistant to provide the best possible experiences for end users and IT operators alike.

• AI for networking: Leveraging AI for better operator and end user experiences. Juniper offers the industry’s most comprehensive AIOps capabilities that maximize the predictability, reliability, and measurability of enterprise networks
• Networking for AI: Building fast and reliable data center networks to support AI training and inference processes. Juniper’s AI data center networking delivers high-performing and scalable networks with unsurpassed flexibility and seamless operations

Organizations of all sizes and industries can benefit, particularly those requiring robust network performance and security, such as telecommunications, large enterprises, service providers, and data-sensitive sectors like finance and healthcare.

From delivering exceptional end-to-end user experiences to simplifying the operator experience to ensuring experiences drive business value, Juniper customers benefit from the Mist platform in many ways, such as:

• ServiceNow saw a 90% reduction in wireless-related issues reported by employees
• Gap reported an 85% reduction in onsite tech visits
• Dartmouth experienced 9x faster deployment speeds
