AIOps company Juniper Networks has announced that it is expanding its routing portfolio with new capabilities to help customers unlock the full potential of their network investments.
LLM Connector, which provides support for third-party and self-hosted LLMs, can now be used to analyze network data and documentation, facilitating proactive network troubleshooting.
In addition, Juniper’s AI-Native Routing solution now helps reduce energy usage by identifying and turning off router components that aren’t required for the current traffic demands.
The company is also introducing intent-driven traffic engineering policies to streamline and simplify routing optimization. This allows companies to periodically reoptimize their network based on normal peaks and valleys of traffic or triggered by specific events, such as a node going down.
Finally, the new ACX7020 Access Edge Router is being released, offering a compact form factor that allows it to be deployed in space-constrained locations.
“Technical leaders of enterprise, cloud and service provider organizations alike face multi-faceted challenges to deliver the best possible business results from the WAN in the AI era,” said – AE Natarajan, executive vice president and chief development officer at Juniper Networks. “Reliability, performance and empowered users must be balanced against CapEx/OpEx and capacity pressures, operational complexity and sustainability goals. In response, Juniper is delivering the industry’s first converged, comprehensive AI-Native routing solution, taking another step toward the fully Self-Driving Network™. By leveraging a combination of innovation and advanced automation, we’re helping customers to quickly lower WAN running costs, enable out-of-the-box simplicity, achieve significant energy efficiency and drive exceptional experiences at scale.”
