Juniper Networks announced new Network as a Service (NaaS) enhancements to the AIOps platform that further facilitate the deployment and management of wired, wireless and secure SD-WAN network services via Juniper MSP and reseller partners.
By combining platform capabilities, such as a microservices cloud, open APIs and Mist AI, with NaaS capabilities for easily procuring cloud services, managing cloud subscription licenses and assuring the best user experiences across diverse locations.
“Juniper’s unique ability to combine cloud agility, flexibility and scale with AI-driven automation and insight has always made the AI-driven Enterprise portfolio ideal for our partners,” said Gordon Mackintosh, Group VP, Global Channels and Virtual Sales at Juniper Networks.
“As a result, both MSPs and resellers have played a big role in the tremendous growth we have seen to date. By making it even easier for these partners to obtain and manage full stack networking services via the Juniper Mist cloud, our new NaaS capabilities promise to accelerate this momentum and increase our campus and branch market share.”
Powered by 6th generation Mist AI and a modern microservices cloud, Juniper’s wired, wireless, security and SD-WAN solutions deliver proactive insights and automation across the full networking stack. Customizable service levels with visibility down to the client, application and session assure the best end-to-end user and operator experiences. The Juniper Mist platform is also completely programmable with open APIs, ensuring seamless integration with existing NOC/SOC systems. In addition, Juniper fully integrates security with the networking fabric by extending visibility, threat intelligence and policy enforcement to every point of connection.
Juniper has added new NaaS capabilities which further facilitate partners’ ability to deploy, operate and manage services via the cloud. These include:
- Common portal with AI-driven operations dashboard. A new AI-driven dashboard provides a holistic, multitenant view into the real-time performance of wired, wireless and secure SD-WAN networks (e.g., customizable service levels by location). This allows network operators to continually optimize end-user experiences from client-to-cloud, and it saves time and money with faster problem resolution and fewer on-site visits.
- Flexible subscription management. With the latest AI-driven Enterprise offering, all licenses are available in one location for scalable inventory management, and partners and customers can move licenses seamlessly between hardware devices (in any location) to maximize design flexibility and minimize investment costs.
- New payment and purchasing options. Juniper offers periodic subscription services (e.g., monthly) on the AI-driven Enterprise portfolio in addition to previously available 1-, 3- and 5-year licenses.
