In the current dynamic high-tech landscape, success is built on driving innovation and achieving better results in the face of rapid continuous change. In the networking realm specifically, it’s about much more than keeping connections up; it’s about ensuring seamless connectivity and exceptional user experiences. That’s why events like Mobility Field Day (MFD), where we recently unveiled our latest innovations that help to shape the future of networking, are pivotal moments for us at Juniper. In fact, Mist Systems, part of the Juniper family since 2019, came out of “stealth mode” way back at MFD2 in 2017 and the Mist team has presented at eight Mobility Field Day events since.
Since MFD9, our innovations focused on experience-first networking have been nothing short of transformative. Last January we announced our AI-Native Networking Platform—purpose built to leverage AIOps (AI for IT Operations) to assure exceptional end-to-end operator and end-user experiences. At MFD11 we announced another round of new and unique additions to the AI-Native Networking Platform that add even more value to our industry-leading wired and wireless access solution.
Before I touch on the additions, it’s important to understand the three fundamental principles at the core of our AI-Native approach:
- Right data: Quality data fuels intelligent decisions. Our platform harnesses the power of cutting-edge telemetry and data sources to provide unparalleled insights into network performance.
- Right real-time response: Being first in AI With more than nine years of experience behind our Mist AI engine, we’ve fine-tuned our algorithms to deliver proactive, context-aware responses that drive meaningful outcomes.
- Right infrastructure: Our AI-Native Networking Platform isn’t an architecture—it’s a living, breathing and fully integrated ecosystem that spans wired and wireless domains, SD-WAN, NAC (Network Access Control), the data center and beyond. We continue to set the bar high for proactive insight and automation driving value for network operations from client to cloud.
I encourage you to watch the MFD11 recordings where you can learn more about Juniper’s latest innovations. Some key highlights include:
- Marvis Minis: Redefining network readiness, Marvis Minis is the only AI-Native Networking Digital Experience Twin for pre- and post-connect user experiences, ensuring optimal performance even in the absence of users.
- Continuous learning: Our AI-driven models are evolving, enabling us to predict and preempt network issues with high accuracy, empowering IT teams to resolve issues faster without expensive site visits.
- Conversational interface: Natural language interactions using human-like conversational capabilities to make network management more intuitive aren’t just the future of networking. With Marvis®, the industry’s only AI-Native Virtual Network Assistant, they are possible today. And we’ve added new capabilities that proactively find and fix network, application, and security issues, so that customers and partners can stay ahead of user needs while lowering operational costs.
- Deep learning capabilities: Under the hood, our platform leverages the Shapley data science model which is integrated with our continuous user experience learning, to unlock a myriad of new use cases that improve user experiences on Zoom meetings and Teams calls. We can verify whether the root cause of a problem is the client, application, LAN, WAN, or something else.
- Dynamic Spectrum Capture: Juniper offers the industry’s only AI-Native Dynamic Spectrum Capture to simplify operations with proactive troubleshooting. It brings high visibility into RF (Radio Frequency) spectrum and enables customers to identify and root cause wireless interference issues, minimizing the need for site visits.
At Juniper, we believe that connectivity is not the same as experiencing a great connection—as we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in networking, we invite you to join us on this transformative journey. Watch the MFD11 replays to discover more about how together we can shape the future of connectivity, one meaningful connection at a time.
