AIOps key to GenAI application growth
As the cloud expands and GenAI applications grow, reliable connectivity, enhanced application performance and low latency areparamount. Businesses are turning to cloud-based network services to meet these demands. However, many face challenges with operational complexity, high costs, security gaps and inconsistent application performance. Assuring the best user experience through AI-native operations (AIOps) is essential to overcoming these challenges and maximizing efficiency.
Powered by Juniper’s Mist AI-Native Networking platform, Google’s Cloud WAN, a new solution from Google Cloud, delivers a fully managed, reliable and secure enterprise backbone for branch transformation. Mist is purpose-built to leverage AIOps for optimized campus and branch experiences, assuring that connections are reliable, measurable and secure for every device, user, application and asset.
“Mist has become synonymous with AI and cloud-native operations that optimize user experiences while minimizing operator costs,” said Sujai Hajela, EVP, Campus and Branch, Juniper Networks. “Juniper’s AI-Native Networking Platform is a perfect complement to Google’s Cloud WAN solution,enabling enterprises to overcome campus and branch management complexity and optimize application performance through low latency connectivity, self-driving automation and proactive insights.”
