0:07 all right so I'm inside the Juniper
0:10 booth now and I'm with uh Jay the deal
0:12 uh you can you just quick and dirty
0:14 yourself yeah I'm Jay tatil I'm leading
0:17 the Strategic marketing for Juniper
0:18 Networks
0:20 and uh we're gonna take a look at four
0:21 different demos the first one is the SP
0:24 managed services so tell us what we're
0:25 going to look at here yeah so you heard
0:27 from Rami like how we are focusing on
0:29 the experience that's networking we are
0:32 extending that to Showcase like you know
0:34 what are we bringing for the future as
0:36 well as now so the customers demands in
0:38 the future are also already met by now
0:40 so here we are showing like what we are
0:42 doing with our managed Services the full
0:44 Aid portfolio how we are bringing that
0:46 to the service providers and how they
0:48 can use that for the Enterprise
0:49 customers
0:51 and Justin will cover the demo and
0:55 explain like what we are doing with this
0:57 all right Justin so let's step up and
0:58 take a look here hi there my name is
1:00 Justin Maloney I'm a product marketing
1:02 manager for the AI driven Enterprises of
1:04 Juniper Networks and what I want to show
1:06 you today is how our AI driven
1:09 Enterprises solution can help the
1:10 managed service provider as they need to
1:12 deploy different sites and this is an
1:14 excellent way for them I know every
1:16 service line is looking for more higher
1:19 margin business and this to me seems
1:21 like an excellent way to get there yes
1:23 very much so and it also makes the whole
1:25 process much simpler and I think that's
1:26 the key part right because by
1:28 simplifying it we can reduce their time
1:30 needed to troubleshoot to set up and get
1:33 them to revenue much quicker so in this
1:36 demo we do show off that the different
1:39 challenges service providers face right
1:41 so there's a lot of competition out
1:43 there there's a lot of service providers
1:44 out there more and more every day
1:46 exactly and we need to differentiate as
1:49 we mentioned we need them to get to
1:50 revenue faster we also so are faced with
1:54 more complicated networks and the staff
1:58 that they have to hire is there's a
1:59 resource Gap because there's a lot of
2:01 skills you need to know used to be you
2:03 could just run networks no bgp you know
2:05 that kind of stuff but now you need to
2:06 know bgp Cloud Linux
2:10 software-defined networking devops all
2:12 that kind of stuff so security is
2:14 security very much security so
2:16 simplification is very much the key and
2:19 so in this demo we show the benefits of
2:22 Juniper's AI driven Enterprise which is
2:24 more cloud-based so you have one
2:26 interface that you log into and manage
2:28 your whole network through AI driven
2:30 using the AI to help show you where the
2:33 problems are to resolve them quicker and
2:36 we give you your full Network so you get
2:37 your access points your switches your
2:39 routers and your security all in one
2:41 place
2:42 now so we follow two things we follow a
2:45 service provider called we connect as
2:47 they're setting up a uh
2:49 a clothing store called suda sudab wants
2:53 to create a pop-up location outside
2:55 Mobile World Congress and they need to
2:57 do it quick because there's not enough
2:59 stuff outside no there's nothing and
3:02 they were totally have to wear suits
3:03 right so we come to that site to do it
3:05 now obviously they want to do it quickly
3:08 they want to make sure that it's up
3:10 because it's only a couple of days so if
3:12 there's an outage or anything they could
3:14 lose their business yeah and like you
3:16 said there's a lot of other competitors
3:17 out there so they need to make sure that
3:19 they differentiate from anyone else and
3:22 so we connect chose Juniper's product to
3:26 do that through the demos we show how we
3:29 simplify day zero day one so that's
3:31 planning your network and then deploying
3:32 your network day two which is once the
3:35 Network's up making sure if there's
3:36 anything to troubleshoot and then day
3:38 two plus what other values can we add in
3:41 this case we look at indoor location
3:43 services and I think that's really been
3:45 unique to you because I think there's
3:46 been a lot of focus historically on Day
3:48 Zero you know helping networks get set
3:51 up but nobody can really help on the
3:52 operational side right exactly which is
3:54 I think why the you look at the
3:56 operational costs and the telcos have
3:58 running networks it's you know five
4:00 dollars I've seen for every uh for every
4:02 dollar they spend on equipment to
4:04 spending 5
4:06 and you're very correct about that but
4:09 even from the day Zero we make the
4:11 deployment so so easy we make it take
4:13 from several hours to a full day to just
4:16 one hour to set up your home network and
4:19 how we do that is through
4:22 templates so again you have the one
4:25 platform that you log into that gives
4:27 you your access points your switches and
4:29 your routers you can use variables to
4:31 make the templates easier and then when
4:34 you get in here you just say with this
4:36 new location I want it to look like all
4:37 my other pop-ups go assign it to the
4:40 pop-up and done
4:42 easy configuration of your policies so
4:45 who has access to what including
4:48 security in there so in this example
4:50 here I can show my guest network is
4:52 allowed to access the internet but it's
4:54 going to go through my IDP features and
4:56 these IDP features are on box on the
4:58 site we can also send that traffic up to
5:02 our Juniper secure Edge to if you need
5:04 to deploy a full sassy solution and once
5:07 we get it up to the secure Edge we can
5:09 configure all of our policies through
5:10 our security director cloud and then
5:13 lastly when it comes to the actual
5:14 deployment of the devices
5:16 we just use Simple QR codes no through
5:19 the QR codes and an app you scan it and
5:22 assign it to the site and it just hooks
5:24 up to the Internet connects this is
5:25 where the cloud base comes in connects
5:27 to that cloud and it's good and we have
5:29 this on our switches our routers and our
5:31 access points and then you can also if
5:33 you don't want to use an appliance you
5:35 can also put the software onto a white
5:38 box Hardware that's a whole lot simpler
5:40 than the old CLI model where were you
5:42 guys when I was an engineer exactly and
5:44 that's our whole goal is we're trying to
5:45 get out of the CLI we don't want you to
5:47 have to jump in there at all
5:49 that's how we can deploy easily and then
5:51 we got some nice Graphics to show a
5:53 little system come up and everything
5:56 but then as you brought up the day two
5:59 stuff so everyday operations we want to
6:02 be able to proactively see if there's a
6:04 problem and resolve that issue and then
6:06 also if we get a ticket make it easier
6:08 to figure out what that wait I thought
6:10 the model was wait for the customer to
6:12 call and it'll always be one day behind
6:14 yeah exactly exactly you can do that too
6:17 but
6:19 um this this is this view here is
6:22 particularly important for the service
6:24 providers this is our MSP dashboard
6:26 where they break down the wireless the
6:29 wired and the Wham side for the customer
6:31 we show all our service level
6:33 experiences so that you can easily see
6:36 in this particular case my switch at
6:38 this site called live demo has a problem
6:40 with connections successful connections
6:43 are low or is the problem the
6:45 application that the user is trying to
6:47 access and they can jump down click on
6:50 the button and it jumps down them to an
6:52 area where they can further troubleshoot
6:54 why are we having connection problems so
6:57 does Jay they have a problem but where
6:59 that problem animated exactly and that's
7:01 actually the harder part to figure out
7:03 because even look here right we click on
7:05 that the problem is an authorization
7:07 problem and we click affected items and
7:09 these are the users and the access
7:11 points that are being affected
7:13 right so that helps us get to there
7:15 proactively now in our story we find out
7:18 that an AR mirror that suit up has is
7:21 not working right
7:23 and so we find that through what we just
7:26 saw there in the metrics we can see that
7:28 there's a bad connection so we go to our
7:30 portal and we say troubleshoot mirror
7:33 right and this is where the Marvis this
7:36 is where the AI comes in is our Marvis
7:37 virtual Network assistant and those
7:39 aren't keywords right that's actually a
7:40 natural language process natural
7:42 language exactly just troubleshoot you
7:44 know we like to do sometimes
7:46 um the network sucks yeah and it'll go
7:49 in there and Marvis will say these are
7:51 the reasons your network sucks or these
7:52 are these they're not your network no no
7:54 yeah no there's never a problem yeah um
7:57 but the other thing that Marva shows us
7:59 here is from the client to the cloud
8:01 where is the issue because that's a lot
8:03 of the troubleshooting I find out that
8:05 there's a problem is it the application
8:08 that I'm using is it just a user that's
8:10 affected the access points the switches
8:12 or the routers and what I like about
8:14 this is historically we've managed these
8:16 things in silos right but I was at
8:19 applications don't care that your Wan
8:21 team is different than your Wi-Fi team
8:23 exactly right so now you're looking at
8:25 things it is one big Network right which
8:29 is really how you understand experiences
8:30 exactly you see the whole network and
8:33 you don't have to because traditionally
8:36 and how you probably used to do it was
8:37 all right let's see is it the user how
8:40 many users are affected is it the access
8:43 point are all the users at that one
8:44 access point affected is it the switch
8:46 are all my access points are switched in
8:48 fact it isn't the whole site or is it
8:49 the application and you have to cross
8:51 everything off until you say okay maybe
8:53 it's the application with this we will
8:55 tell you it's the application it's the
8:57 user it's the switch it's the router got
8:59 it
9:00 um
9:01 so then you know you can click on and
9:04 see further information but we also have
9:06 with our AI a way to tell you
9:09 proactively where we think the issues
9:11 are this is called our Marvis actions
9:13 page breaks down the same thing when
9:15 edges will be your your your router your
9:18 switches your access points your users
9:19 and things that you can do to resolve
9:22 them so we in this case in case we have
9:23 an access point with a coverage hole it
9:25 says there's a coverage hole please
9:27 reposition or add more access points and
9:30 then we can take a look at this little
9:31 location map that shows us as we zoom
9:35 out
9:36 it's that access point up at the top
9:38 that has the problem the red one oh we
9:41 can easily go and throw in more
9:44 um so in this story that's what we use
9:46 to resolve we tell the story hey we know
9:48 your mirror's got a problem and you can
9:50 move an access point or get more
9:52 coverage to that particular location and
9:54 resolve it
9:55 the last thing we show after that after
9:58 we get the mirror up and running
10:00 is
10:02 how can we help we connect and suit up
10:05 at additional Revenue to their business
10:08 and in this case we're using the indoor
10:10 location services with indoor location
10:12 services they walk when a customer walks
10:16 into a site they might have a QR code
10:18 like this that just says log on to our
10:20 Wi-Fi then we set up little areas within
10:23 the store that say when a user gets to
10:26 that that site send them a little
10:29 um yeah something that just says hey
10:31 come on in suits are on sale today for
10:34 you or anything kind of like that and so
10:37 that's what we do in this case is we say
10:38 when users get to this uh area back here
10:41 we're going to send them a message to
10:43 buy one get one free
10:45 and we can just determine the area of
10:48 that so that as these users come on
10:50 board the Wi-Fi router says the access
10:52 point says yep you've got
10:55 um as you'll see a pop-up here design
10:57 and the template
10:59 one new message right and so something
11:02 like Mobile World Congress have somebody
11:03 walking it's timely it's personalized
11:05 yeah exactly and so so those are some of
11:10 the cool things that we can do with the
11:12 AI driven Enterprise as you can see for
11:15 the service provider gives them benefit
11:16 by simplifying the deployment so faster
11:19 time to revenue using the automatic
11:22 insights to be able to troubleshoot it
11:24 not a couple days in the future but
11:26 either day Zero or as soon as you get
11:28 the
11:29 um question about it and add additional
11:31 Revenue through additional Services
11:33 added on and then for the Enterprise
11:35 they're going to be happy because their
11:37 Network's going to be running their
11:39 users are going to have a great
11:40 experience and we have easy onboarding
11:42 seamless onboarding to their secure
11:44 Cloud whether they want the functions at
11:47 the branch or up in the cloud
11:49 all right Justin well thanks for that
11:51 thank you I'm going to go or the next
11:53 station but after that I'm going to go
11:54 buy a suit outside I think awesome yeah
11:57 all right thank you thanks I appreciate
11:59 it thanks yeah
