Juniper Guns for Cisco, Aruba With Mist AI - SDxCentral

Juniper Networks rolled out Mist's artificial intelligence (AI) engine across wired and wireless networks today to kick off its annual Nxtwork event. It's the first step in what Juniper calls the "AI-driven enterprise" that will use AI and automation to troubleshoot and self-correct across the entire IT environment. "For that we mean wireless access, wired access, and ultimately data centers as well as SD-WAN with a security overlay on top of that," said Jeff Aaron, VP of enterprise marketing at Juniper Networks. Juniper acquired wireless LAN startup Mist Systems for $405 million earlier this year. In addition to the wireless technology, the deal gave Juniper an in-house AI engine.
