AI-Native Enterprise Routing Solution Brief

Traditional networking practices often fail to detect and resolve network issues in a timely manner, leading to operational inefficiencies and user dissatisfaction. Network problems frequently go undetected by IT teams, highlighting the urgent need for proactive monitoring and management solutions to optimize network performance and ensure seamless user experiences.

Enterprises are under mounting pressure to embrace sustainability and environmental stewardship, demanding climate-friendly technologies and practices across their operations. Enhancing power efficiency in the WAN emerges as a critical priority, driven by the imperative to meet Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets and minimize environmental impact.

With the proliferation of SaaS applications and the increased use of cloud computing, companies are increasingly adopting multicloud strategies, leveraging a combination of public and private clouds. By 2028, it is projected that hybrid cloud environments will become the norm, necessitating seamless integration and management across diverse cloud platforms.

Juniper’s Mist Routing Assurance addresses these challenges and unlocks the full potential of digital transformation with an AI-Native, modernized WAN infrastructure.

Here’s how:

Built from the Juniper Mist microservices cloud architecture, Juniper's Mist Routing Assurance optimizes user experiences from client to cloud. It offers unparalleled visibility into WAN performance while streamlining and simplifying operations. It allows enterprises to easily deploy Juniper’s proven MX and ACX routing platforms, delivering unmatched versatility in the WAN and reducing their carbon footprint. Leveraging the industry's only microservices cloud across the full stack, it facilitates rapid feature rollouts with zero downtime and incorporates a digital experience twin to preemptively tackle issues. Its open API-based structure enhances efficiency, fosters superior engagements, and bolsters secure connections.

A modern elastic cloud furnishes the requisite computational power for AI/ML and scalable networks. Moreover, a 100% API ecosystem extends end-to-end assurance beyond the network to applications and services. Supported by robust MX hardware, renowned for its performance and reliability, it plays a pivotal role in enabling sustainability initiatives. As your network grows and demands increase, you can rest assured with the Juniper Mist cloud’s elasticity and agility that you are set up for success.

Juniper's Mist Routing Assurance harnesses the power of AIOps to revolutionize WAN operation, offering proactive insights through an intuitive conversational interface fueled by AI. This eliminates the need for complex commands, allowing IT teams to effortlessly troubleshoot using natural language, ultimately reducing mean time to repair/innocence (MTTR/MTTI) and automating Root Cause Analysis for faster and more accurate issue resolution. With the industry-proven Marvis AI virtual network assistant (over 80% efficacy), Juniper AIOps delivers data-driven insights and proactive recommendations, ensuring the best possible secured experiences and lowest costs from client to cloud.

Integrated as a core element and key differentiator of Juniper's AI-Native Networking Platform, Juniper AIOps ingests data from various sources, including wireless access points, Ethernet switches, Session Smart^™ Routers, firewalls, and now routers. Through sophisticated data science algorithms and Marvis, Juniper AIOps significantly reduces network incidents, help desk tickets, and onsite visits without human intervention. This results in a more predictable, reliable, and measurable network infrastructure. You can reduce staff time spent on networking trouble tickets by up to 90%, achieve 9x faster deployments, and save up to 85% on networking-related OpEx.

Juniper Mist cloud and AIOps help make Juniper’s AI-Native Networking Platform the industry’s only solution that extends from campus and branch, routing infrastructure, data center, and SD-WAN, assuring the best experiences, end to end. Your enterprise will benefit from:

• Reduced complexity
• Simplified and streamlined operations
• End-to-end visibility

Juniper's Mist Routing Assurance not only optimizes network performance, it also champions sustainability efforts. Juniper Routers offer up to 77% lower power consumption and 64% more space efficiency than competition. Users benefit from reduced energy consumption and lower operational costs. Furthermore, Juniper WAN Routers boast a prolonged lifespan of up to 12 years, which minimizes electronic waste. Investing in Juniper's routing solutions contributes to a greener future by conserving energy and reducing environmental impact through extended product lifecycles.
