Juniper Networks announced several new solutions that further execute on the company’s vision of end-to-end AI-driven automation, insight and actions from client-to-cloud. Juniper has added WAN Assurance and the Marvis Virtual Network Assistant (both driven by Mist AI) to the Session Smart® networks portfolio, as well as enhanced the deployment and management of the SRX secure branch gateway using Mist AI. Additionally, building on their leadership in the wired/wireless access space, Juniper has added a new cloud-native EX switching platform driven by Mist AI. By continuing to expand the Juniper campus and branch portfolio and bringing it all under a common Mist AI umbrella, customers benefit from fully integrated AIOps, security and troubleshooting across the WLAN, LAN and WAN for lower costs and optimized end-user experiences.
“Juniper is consistently recognized for our experience-first approach to networking, where AI-driven automation, insight and actions simplify operator experiences and optimize end-user experiences from client-to-cloud,” said Jeff Aaron, VP Enterprise Product Marketing. “These latest product enhancements underscore our sustained commitment to executing on this vision, as well as our unique ability to rapidly deliver new solutions that drive real value to both customers and partners.”
This launch builds upon the great success Juniper enjoyed with the AI-driven enterprise business in 2020, including triple-digit wireless logo growth, record wireless bookings and record volumes for EX access switch bookings. Customers include a variety of marquee names in all verticals, including five of the Fortune/Global 10. Additionally, Gartner positioned Juniper Networks as a Leader in the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure, with Juniper placing the highest in ability to execute within the Leaders’ Quadrant. Juniper was also named a visionary in both the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure and 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Indoor Location services.
