Juniper’s latest AI-Native routing solution is the culmination of decades of industry leadership and innovation. Our networking roots run deep. They go back to the moment we launched our first product, the M40 core router in 1998—it was 10 times faster than anything else on the market. The M40 put to bed real concerns that the internet itself with limited backbone would soon collapse under its own weight.
Since then, we’ve continued to drive WAN innovation, sparking a flywheel effect of value creation for customers in a new, thriving ecosystem. Our mission was not to dominate the market but to expand it by making the best products and solutions in the industry and clearing a path to accelerated growth for our customers.
We don’t just have a vision, we execute on it, year after year. Our AI-native networking solutions now extend all the way from the edge to the cloud. Mist AI is bringing AIOps in the LAN, the Data Center, and the enterprise WAN. Our customers’ networks aren’t just faster, they’re more reliable, and more efficient—with up to 90% fewer trouble tickets and up to 85% fewer site visits.
Today a new era is beginning, as people and industries everywhere bring AI into their jobs and day-to-day lives. The explosive speed of AI adoption, driven largely by GenAI, has brought WAN routing into clear focus once again, but this time it’s a whole different challenge we’re tackling.
This time it’s not just about traffic volume, it’s also about operational complexity due to the new and emerging demands that WANs have to support. Traffic is less predictable, bursty, highly latency-sensitive, and higher throughput. GenAI applications often create much more uplink traffic than we’re used to. LLMs are now spreading out through core, metro, even edge networks.
Managing all this uncertainty and change requires the kind of step change in performance, reliability, and efficiency in the core and WAN networks that only an AI-Native approach can achieve.
Once again, it’s time to change the equation. We’re continuing to do what we do best: relentless innovation and doubling down on our ability to offer value to our customers.
Juniper’s AI-Native routing solution, first announced in June 2024, is now enhanced to support enterprise private WAN and service provider routing.
Looking to prevent outages by detecting and resolving the toughest routing issues with AI/ML? Need to automatically optimize the network for user intent while mitigating problems for flawless experiences? Want to reduce power bills by up to 70%? Ready to troubleshoot like a boss in a fraction of the time with your own dedicated network assistant? Thanks to Juniper, now you can.
Our extended, augmented, energy-efficient, and proactive AI-Native routing solution lets you leverage proven AIOps, a conversational VNA, and intent-based optimization capabilities across the WAN. This is not a vision. It’s real, it’s specific, and it’s available NOW.
Extended:
Automatically detect, troubleshoot, and fix tough routing problems before they snowball into critical outages. With the introduction of AI-native routing observability and the new ACX7020 Access Edge Router, you now get the benefits of AI-Native Routing everywhere in the WAN—all the way from the premises, breaking through the WAN edge right into the backbone, core, and transport network.
Augmented:
Get answers to complex routing questions in seconds, not hours, with LLM Connector for proactive routing troubleshooting. Now, with support for third-party (including self-hosted) LLMs via LLM Connector, you can leverage powerful chatbot functionality with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) tuned for the WAN. Ask it anything you want and LLM Connector will rapidly analyze volumes of networking documentation and data from the network itself to discover the right insights. Then it formats and presents this information back to you in an intuitive, easy-to-read report. It’s like having the planet’s most incredibly capable networking expert right at your fingertips.
Energy efficient:
Locate and power down unused device components. Our AI-Native Routing solution can now help you reduce power waste with energy-efficient automation. Quickly identify and power down router components when not in use, get insights into how you can improve the network’s physical configuration (such as port placement), identify and diagnose power-hungry devices, and detect anomalies that signal potential problems with power supply.
Proactive:
Detect and mitigate routing problems before customers are impacted and continuously optimize overall performance. With intent-based network optimization, your WAN can now self-optimize based on all the network intents it’s supporting at any given time. Not only can you periodically reoptimize the network (say, every 30 minutes) alongside the normal peaks and valleys of traffic, you can also trigger a re-optimization based on certain events. So, if a node goes down, a routing issue arises, or an anomaly is detected, the network will reroute traffic to mitigate user impact while troubleshooting occurs.
Our enhanced solution for AI-Native Routing has once again eliminated the roadblocks to value creation for our customers. It’s a better path forward. We pride ourselves in the opportunities we create for customers, partners, and vendors—old and new—to connect, innovate, and thrive.
Everything else is just noise.
AI-Native Routing is here NOW. See for yourself.
