Industry’s leading AIOps and virtual network
assistant expanded with first integrated digital experience
twinning and end-to-end insight across campus, branch and data
center infrastructures; new additions to industry’s simplest and
most flexible AI Data Center solutions that drive even more speed,
scale and value
Juniper Networks® (NYSE: JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-Native
Networking, today announced the industry's first AI-Native
Networking Platform, purpose-built to leverage AI to assure the
best end-to-end operator and end-user experiences. Trained on seven
years of insights and data science development, Juniper’s AI-Native
Networking Platform was designed from the ground up to assure that
every connection is reliable, measurable and secure for every
device, user, application and asset.
Unique to the industry, Juniper’s AI-Native Networking Platform
unifies all campus, branch and data center networking solutions
with a common AI engine and Marvis Virtual Network Assistant (VNA).
This enables end-to-end AI for IT Operations (AIOps) to be used for
deep insight, automated troubleshooting and seamless end-to-end
networking assurance, which elevates IT teams’ focus from
maintaining basic network connectivity to delivering exceptional
and secure end-to-end experiences for students, staff, patients,
guests, customers and employees. The Juniper AI-Native Networking
Platform provides the simplest and most assured Day 0/1/2+
operations, resulting in up to 85 percent lower operational
expenditures than traditional solutions, demonstrates the
elimination of up to 90 percent of network trouble tickets, 85
percent of IT onsite visits and up to 50 percent reduction in
network incident resolution times.
“AI is the biggest technology inflection point since the
internet itself, and its ongoing impact on networking cannot be
understated. At Juniper, we have seen first-hand how our game
changing AIOps has saved thousands of global enterprises
significant time and money while delighting the end user with a
superior experience. Our AI-Native Networking Platform represents a
bold new direction for Juniper, and for our industry. By extending
AIOps from the end user all the way to the application, and across
every network domain in between, we are taking a big step toward
making network outages, trouble tickets and application downtime
things of the past.”
- Rami Rahim, Chief Executive Officer,
Juniper Networks
Within the new AI-Native Networking Platform, Juniper is
introducing several new products that advance the experience-first
mission, from more predictable, reliable and measurable IT
operations using AI, to simpler high performance data center
networks specifically designed for AI training and inference.
AI for Networking: Going Deeper and Wider with Marvis
VNA
The new AI-Native Networking Platform includes two new
enhancements to Marvis, the only AI-Native VNA in the industry
driven by Mist AI, with proactive recommendations and self-driving
operations plus a conversation interface (using GenAI for some use
cases). With the following new capabilities, Juniper customers and
partners get even more automation and insight:
- Marvis Minis: the only AI-Native Networking Digital
Experience Twin, uses Mist AI to proactively simulate user
connections to instantly validate network configurations and
find/detect problems without users being present. Minis simulates
end user/client/device/app traffic to learn the network
configuration via unsupervised machine learning and to proactively
highlight network issues. Data from Minis is continuously fed back
into the Mist AI engine, providing an additional source of insight
for the best AIOps responses. No manual configuration is required,
as Minis is always on and can be deployed automatically during
periods of low network usage (e.g. at midnight on weekends) or via
trigger events (e.g. after a network configuration change). Also,
unlike conventional digital twinning solutions and synthetic
testing, Marvis Minis integrates directly with the network,
eliminating manual monitoring and analysis via external sensors,
clients and applications.
- Marvis Virtual Network Assistant (VNA) for the Data
Center: Juniper is introducing the first and only AI-Native VNA
for the data center, delivering the best insight throughout the
entire data center lifecycle across any vendor’s hardware. For
example, issues with data center cabling, configuration and
connectivity from any vendor’s hardware are surfaced in the Marvis
Actions UI (from Juniper® Apstra®) with suggested proactive
actions. Additionally, the Marvis conversational interface (CI)
allows IT teams to pose direct queries and get simple, seamless
insight into the data center product documentation and
knowledgebase using GenAI. Data center actions are shown in a
single UI alongside similar Marvis actions for wired access,
wireless access and secure SD-WAN. In addition, the same Marvis CI
is used for generative knowledge base queries across all Juniper
products. For the first time ever, Juniper customers have a single
VNA for end-to-end visibility and assurance across all enterprise
domains.
Networking for AI: High Performing and Scalable Networks for
AI Training and Inference
Juniper is expanding its AI Data Center solution, which is the
fastest and most flexible way to deploy high performing AI training
and inference clusters, and the simplest to operate with limited IT
resources. The Juniper solution consists of a spine-leaf data
center architecture with a foundation of QFX switches and PTX
routers operated by Juniper Apstra, the only multivendor solution
for DC fabric management, automation and assurance. With unique
intent-based operations via Apstra, the new Marvis VNA for data
center and validated AI designs, Juniper takes much of the
complexity out of AI Data Center networking design, deployment and
troubleshooting, allowing customers to do more with fewer IT
resources. The solution also delivers unsurpassed flexibility to
customers, avoiding vendor lock-in with silicon diversity,
multivendor switch management and a commitment to open,
standards-based Ethernet fabrics.
Building upon Juniper’s AI Data Center architectural advantages,
the company is announcing the following new products and
capabilities to drive even more speed, efficiency and scale:
- Juniper Apstra has been expanded to provide faster
and more efficient processing of AI/ML traffic over Ethernet,
including congestion management, load balancing and flow
control.
- New Express 5 silicon-based PTX routers and line cards
with the promise of industry-leading performance and
energy-efficient sustainability to enable the necessary massive
scale with high-density 800GE capacity.
- A new QFX switch provides 2X the capacity of the
previous generation and is the first announced data center switch
from an Original Equipment Manufacturer using the most advanced
Broadcom Tomahawk 5 silicon for 800GE.
Both the new PTX and QFX platforms support high 800GE port
density and the necessary AI infrastructure protocols, including
RDMA over Ethernet (RoCE v2) for power-efficient and scalable AI
Data Center networking.
Sustainability Considerations
The AI-Native Networking Platform exceeds sustainability
requirements without sacrificing performance and security. Its
AIOps enables fast and remote troubleshooting, significantly
cutting inter-site travel by 85 percent in certain instances.
Furthermore, it features power-efficient hardware which minimizes
energy consumption and is modularly built to make repairs easier
and prolong product life.
