Introduction

Operational Simplicity

Overview

The Network For The AI-Driven Enterprise

When you use automation and AI-driven IT operations (AIOps) to streamline your network, you can quickly configure, troubleshoot, and protect your network while minimizing the potential for errors. Simplifying NetOps and SecOps through automation and AIOps makes your business more agile, your network more reliable, and your data more secure. When you automate workflows, you can deploy new applications and services faster and with far less chance of error. Your security levels rise because the policies you set are propagated across your distributed infrastructure for automatic enforcement. And threat-aware networks identify and block anomalies without any human intervention.

How Juniper Can Help "We are pioneering AI for IT with the only AI-driven platform for wired and wireless networks, so you can focus on what matters. "

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are adopted in multiple business areas, and network operations is no exception. The need to resolve complex network issues, prevent threats, and grow business, all lend themselves to AI.

Benefits

Overview

The proliferation of devices, data, and people have made IT infrastructure more complex than ever to manage, with many looking to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to help. AIOps takes the complexity out of growing IT networks by automating key tasks, proactively addressing issues before they arise, and delivering unparalleled insight into user, device, and application behavior.

Juniper is a recognized leader in AIOps. Our wired access, wireless access and SD-WAN solutions, for example, are all unified by Mist AI. The AIops solution simplifies end-to-end troubleshooting, self-driving network operations, and client-to-cloud insight into customer experiences. In addition, Marvis VNA is the industry’s first AI-driven Virtual Network Assistant with an interactive conversational interface that provides simple recommendations to complex problems. All of these tools, driven by Mist AI, save time and money while maximizing the value of your network infrastructure.

Additionally, AI and ML are key ingredients in other areas of the Juniper product portfolio, enabling critical functions like network health and diagnostics with corrective actions (for example, Paragon Insights), intent-based networking and closed loop assurance (Apstra), and real-time actionable intel for threat prevention and protection (Connected Security).

Artificial Intelligence Overview

In the first video of our technical series, you’ll learn about some of the core tools we use in our AI platform: mutual information, decision trees, reinforcement learning, and long short-term memory recurrent neural network (LSTM RNN).

AI:Mutual Information

Artificial Intelligence Overview

AI:Mutual Information

The Juniper/Mist AI platform uses Mutual Information to help you understand which network features have the most information for predicting failure or success in the service level-expectations (SLE) client metrics.

AI:Decision Trees

AI:Natural Language Processing

AI:Mutual Information

Juniper/Mist AI platform uses Decision Trees for incomplete negotiation detection, MTU mismatch, cable faults, and predict failures of common networking problems.

AI:Reinforcement Learning

AI:Natural Language Processing

The Juniper/Mist AI platform uses Reinforcement Learning to perform tasks like Radio Resource Management to optimize the RF radio waves that transmit network traffic in wireless LANs and helps optimise channel and RF Power settings.The benefits of using reinforcement learning for RRM are simple, it allows network customized RRM policies per site, creating a wireless coverage environment akin to a well-tailored suit.

AI:Natural Language Processing

The Juniper/Mist AI platform uses Natural Language Processing to interface with AI/ML pushing AIOPs to the next level. Using NLP and Marvis, a single question leads to the resolution of a problem that would normally take days. In this way, Marvis becomes a virtual member of the IT Operations team. NLP works with Marvis (AI Engine) ,to help you resolve problems more effectively.
