Juniper Networks has added two new capabilities to the Apstra Cloud Services suite. Service Assurance and Impact Analysis provide improved app-to-network visibility enabling better datacenter assurance with AIOPs.
Available as part of Marvis VNA under the Apstra Premium License tier, the solutions jointly elevate service awareness and reduce time to resolution, says Juniper Networks.
Service or App Awareness integrates app and service data with the Juniper network knowledge graph. This organically amps up visibility of apps and services allowing teams to explore dependencies and communications across the network.
Impact Analysis enriches this data by correlating issues and impacts with machine learning. This helps IT teams to troubleshoot issues promptly and ensure optimum app performance and availability.
“It makes a lot of sense to the tactical operations side of things” says Tom Hollingsworth. “This enhancement takes what Marvis has built, which historically has been very focused on wireless and campus networking, and it drags that into the datacenter with AI-native networking which is the tagline Juniper has been using for quite a while. There’s a real opportunity here to bring that focus into the datacenter and that is hugely important for post Juniper and HPE acquisition.”
