The challenge: limited resources, growing complexity, increasing security risks
IT leaders like yourself are expected to deliver greater value from their networks with the same or lower budgets and limited staff. You must also manage rising complexity from exponential growth in data and the proliferation of network devices and users. And as user expectations for exceptional network experiences continue to grow, security is critical as bad actors constantly probe for any opportunity to breach your network defenses.
What you need: a secure, AI-native network optimized for performance
Four things a network has to do before AI can make any difference to it.
Simplicity
Reduce network complexity and streamline operations so operators can focus on more strategic initiatives and innovation
Productivity
Automate routine tasks, gain real-time insights into user experiences, and enable proactive, self-healing network operations
Reliability at scale
Ensure consistent performance and high availability across all network devices, demanding workloads, and modern enterprise applications
Zero trust security
Protect users, devices, applications, and data wherever they are with built-in security, greater visibility, and simplified policy control applied and enforced at a global scale
Mist: delivering on the promise of AI
Mist utilizes a common cloud and the Marvis AI engine across all networking domains — wireless, wired, SD-WAN, WAN, data center, and security.
This end-to-end approach simplifies IT operations, from deployment to proactive troubleshooting and rapid issue resolution, to boost productivity with fewer trouble tickets, reduce OpEx, and optimize end-user experiences. It also lays the foundation for high performance, adaptive network infrastructures, purpose-built to support mission-critical AI workloads.
Purpose-built with AI and for AI
At HPE Juniper Networking, our experience-first approach to AI-native networking is leading the convergence of AI and networking to drive flawless, personalized end-user experiences. We do this by leveraging the three key pillars.
AI-native operations
Success in today’s digital landscape hinges on having both the right data and the right response. By leveraging high-quality, real-time telemetry gathered with deep domain expertise, organizations can answer experience-first questions with precision and clarity. This foundation enables real-time insights and actions that accelerate root cause identification, deliver smart recommendations, and drive automated resolutions, ensuring seamless operations and exceptional user experiences.
Comprehensive client-to-cloud portfolio
Digital transformation demands both the right networks and the right cloud. With an end-to-end networking portfolio spanning enterprise, service provider, and cloud provider domains, enriched by AI-enabling telemetry and insights, organizations gain the visibility and intelligence needed to optimize performance. Paired with cloud-native and AI-native hybrid cloud platforms, businesses unlock speed, agility, and scale, delivering innovation with the simplicity and cost-efficiency of the cloud.
Integral security
In a world of evolving cyber threats, unified protection is essential, safeguarding users, systems, and data across the entire client-to-cloud environment. With AI-native security at its core, this approach delivers an intelligent defense that continuously learns and adapts to emerging threat vectors, ensuring resilience and proactive risk mitigation at every layer of the digital ecosystem.
AI for network operations
Mist offers advanced AIOps across all networking domains to simplify operations for IT teams and deliver exceptional experiences to end users. Marvis AI provides proactive insights and actions to ensure issues are rapidly identified and actioned, so your IT team spends less time troubleshooting and more time on strategic initiatives.
WAN routing
Secure, reliable, and scalable routing connectivity between campuses, branches, data centers, and cloud
Wireless and wired access
High performance, secure, and scalable connectivity for mobile and wired devices across enterprise environments
Indoor location services
Accurate, real-time indoor location tracking using Wi-Fi, BLE, AI and cloud based analytics
SD-WAN / NGFW / UZTNA

Data center networking
Comprehensive hardware, software, and AIOps for secure, scalable, automated data center infrastructures
Networks for AI workloads
Maximizing AI investments requires specialized networking infrastructure that powers AI data centers built for high-speed data processing. The AI data center networking solution leverages highly scalable, AI-native WAN and industry-leading AIOps to support the unique needs of AI training, inference, and storage clusters. It delivers fast job completion times (JCTs), maximizes GPU utilization, and achieves optimal ROI with minimal demand on limited IT resources.
HPE Juniper Networking also makes multivendor management solutions available for data center networks, giving you complete freedom with no vendor lock-in. Intent-based networking automates and validates operations for streamlined deployments and day-to-day operations. And by leveraging standards-based Ethernet, you gain a more flexible and cost-effective alternative to proprietary solutions like InfiniBand.
AI fabric (switching/routing)
AI-native network fabric that integrates automation, AI, and ML to optimize network operations at scale
Operations and AI optimization
AI, ML, and automation optimize network performance, simplify operations, and improve service delivery
Data center interconnect (DCI)
Ensures high performance, scalable, and automated data transport between and within data centers
Mesh firewall
Mesh firewalls and distributed services architecture deliver industry leading scale. AI-native threat detection, advanced analytics tools, and automation enhance security
Core / backbone routing
High-performing routing infrastructure that ensures scalability and network performance
Comprehensive security, visibility, and control
As cyberattacks rapidly grow more sophisticated, network security must quickly evolve to protect increasingly complex infrastructures. Traditional siloed security approaches, which separate network and security management, struggle to keep up with modern threats.
Mist seamlessly integrates networking and security functions, enabling zero trust security via unified management, a common Junos OS, and single policy framework. By consolidating security, networking, and AIOps under a single UI, routers, switches, firewalls, and full network access control (NAC) work together to coordinate effective threat protection and consistent policy enforcement across all domains, for all users, regardless of location.
Embedding security natively into the platform empowers organizations to respond more effectively to incidents, minimize downtime, and optimize network performance.
