Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-native networking, has announced exciting updates to its AI-Native Networking Platform. These innovations bring exceptional value and cost savings to enterprises needing secure branch connections. The latest updates include enhancements to WAN Assurance, Premium Analytics, and the Marvis® Virtual Network Assistant (VNA). These products now feature advanced AI capabilities for simpler, seamless, and secure SD-WAN and SASE experiences.
Additionally, Juniper introduced a new Routing Assurance product. This is the first industry solution to bring AI-native automation and insight to traditional edge routing topologies. With these updates, Juniper is the only vendor with a single AI-native platform. This platform can reduce operational costs by up to 85% across the entire network footprint.
Moreover, Juniper’s solution leverages AI to drive more value to enterprise WAN environments. The Marvis Minis, Juniper’s digital experience twin solution, now extends to SD-WAN. It continuously runs WAN speed tests to verify link speeds and takes proactive actions. This expansion makes Juniper the first vendor to cover wired, wireless, and WAN with a single AI-native digital experience twin solution.
Furthermore, Juniper has enhanced its WAN service level expectations (SLEs) with a new SLE that tracks WAN congestion. This alerts operators when network interfaces are over-utilized, ensuring better user experiences. The dynamic packet capture (dPCAP) solution now includes WAN, capturing packets during incidents to identify and fix issues, avoiding costly site visits.
Juniper also introduced new application insights. These offer network operators a visualization of traffic across the SD-WAN, aiding in bandwidth planning and problem remediation.
In addition, the new security insights Mist dashboard within Juniper’s Premium Analytics product offers comprehensive security event visibility. This provides actionable intelligence to security teams, enabling real-time incident identification and threat response.
Lastly, Juniper’s Routing Assurance product modernizes the WAN edge with customizable service levels. This allows administrators to monitor, analyze, and resolve issues swiftly. Marvis’ conversational interface now extends to enterprise WAN edge routing, allowing IT teams to use simple language queries to identify and fix routing issues.
These innovations position Juniper as the only vendor offering a single AI-native and cloud-native solution spanning all key networking domains.
