The most demanding enterprises around the world are looking to deliver the best experience to users through their networks in their headquarters, warehouses, factories or branch offices. Whether it’s for employees, guests/customers or to connect IoT devices, the network plays a business-critical role and must perform in all dimensions – connectivity, scale and high availability – all while providing the required service and the best experience to every application at all times.
The network of modern organizations must be designed with the objective to provide the best user experience. This experience-first approach has a direct impact to the business, providing:
- Cost savings
- New revenues
- Streamlined IT spend
- Maximized end-user satisfaction
- Business alignment
However, a different approach is required to build and manage networks that provide the best user experience: select the best technology and team up with the best experts.
Selecting the Best Technology
Providing the best experience to a few users with a small number of applications in a controlled environment is doable with traditional manual operations. Scaling this model to a large number of users, with an unlimited number of applications in a dynamic environment, though, requires a sophisticated artificial intelligence engine that constantly analyzes hundreds of data points to verify that the best user experience is provided.
Juniper driven by Mist AI™ differentiates in the market by using a combination of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and data science techniques to optimize user experiences and simplify operations across the wireless access, wired access and SD-WAN domains.
Teaming Up with the Best Experts
NTT Ltd. is a leading IT infrastructure and services company, serving more than 75% of Fortune Global 100 companies to help them to achieve their digital business goals. NTT was recently named Juniper’s Global AI-Driven Enterprise Alliance of the Year for 2021 for its success and commitment to excellence using Juniper Mist to help its customers achieve their business goals.
The Juniper NTT strategic alliance combines NTT, a Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ Leader in Network Services and Juniper Networks, a Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ Leader in Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure and Indoor Location Services. The result? A powerful combination in the service of the most demanding enterprises.
