Juniper Networks announced new additions to its AI-Native Networking Platform that use artificial intelligence to proactively identify and fix network issues. This update to their cloud-based networking products, powered by Mist AI, is designed to improve user experience and lower operational costs by up to 85% for customers, according to the company. The platform is built on the concept of "AI for Networking" and aims to deliver reliable and secure connections for all devices and users.
Here are the key improvements:
- Improved video call quality: The platform can now predict call quality before a video session for Zoom and Microsoft Teams calls.
- Proactive wired network issue detection: Marvis Minis can now diagnose authentication issues in the wired network without requiring users to be present.
- New service levels for wired network: New service level options allow for monitoring switch bandwidth and connection to RADIUS servers.
- Network rewind for wireless interference: A new feature allows for easier identification of the root cause of wireless interference issues.
- Automatic wired packet capture: The platform can now automatically capture packets in the cloud to help identify and fix wired network issues.
- More efficient wired troubleshooting: Marvis Actions can now identify and fix misconfigured switch ports.
- Simplified device posture validation: The platform can now integrate with cloud-based Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) and Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions for easier device compliance enforcement.
- Seamless onboarding for eduroam users: The platform now supports eduroam, which allows users to easily connect to Wi-Fi at over 10,000 locations worldwide.
“This announcement directly addresses two of the top concerns from our customers and partners: how to proactively stay ahead of constantly changing user demands, and how to ensure critical applications like Zoom and Teams perform as desired, regardless of where users are located. By expanding our AI-Native Networking Platform with more industry-firsts such as Marvis Application Experience Insights and wired/wireless digital experience twinning, Juniper continues to pioneer the usage of AI in networking to deliver unsurpassed agility and assurance via proactive insight and automation,” Sudheer Matta, GVP Products for Campus and Branch, Juniper Networks.
