Juniper floats Contrail Insights for cloud, adds AI-driven network for Mist

At its NXTWORK conference in Las Vegas, Juniper Networks announced on Monday new capabilities for its Mist and Contrail solutions that were designed to help its enterprise customers. For Mist, Juniper announced what it claimed was the first "AI Driven Self Diving Network" for enterprises that use Mist's AI engine. It also uses Mist's microservices cloud to streamline IT operations to help simplify troubleshooting across both wired and wireless networks. Using Mist's integrated AI-engine, which is called Marvis, the Mist platform identifies the root cause of issues across various IT domains, such as WLAN, LAN, WAN and security, and automatically resolves them when possible. If the issue is outside the domain of the access network, Marvis will provide a set of recommended actions to help IT managers resolve their issues.
