How will sustainability, 800G, and AI operations will shape the future of network infrastructure? Sally Bament, VP of Cloud & Service Provider Marketing from Juniper, explains:
- The importance of sustainability in network infrastructure purchasing decisions: Suppliers who can't demonstrate that their products are energy-efficient and recyclable will be at a significant disadvantage. The term "green networking" will become ubiquitous, and businesses will be held accountable to benchmarks aligned with scientific understanding to ensure real contributions to global sustainability efforts.
- The emergence of 800G networking as a hero technology: With the continued growth of data-heavy applications and services demanding ultra-fast experiences, 800G networking will emerge, led by cloud providers, telecom operators, and data center operators. This technology will enable performance without compromise and equip operators to navigate sustainable growth while balancing capacity needs, space efficiencies, and cost management.
- The adoption of on-prem automation and cloud-based AI Ops by operators: Operators will begin experimenting with cloud-based AI operations, influenced by security compliance and data sovereignty needs. By adopting a nuanced strategy, operators will proactively reduce customer-detected issues and improve customer retention to support their broader business goals. Automation will shift focus from cost reduction to enhancing operational efficiencies and user experience.
