Businesses can experience complexity with traditional network solutions compared to AI-powered solutions, including issues with deployment and management models, which can ultimately impact the end-user experience. Traditional networks can also be costly to transform and operate, slow to change, lacking in innovation, and may not offer a better experience to their business users and end customers. With the advent of software-defined networking (SDN) technology, AI operations (AIOps), and automation, enterprise networks are undergoing transformative change.
With this in mind, Microland is announcing its Network as a Service (NaaS) offering, powered by data from Juniper Mist AI and its own Intelligeni NetOps, which offers AIOps-based analytics, hyperautomation, and deep observability capabilities. The goal of Microland’s NaaS offering is to help enterprises achieve order-of-magnitude improvements in the resiliency, reliability, and efficiency of their network infrastructure.
Robert Wysocki, Senior Vice President of Networking and Cybersecurity at Microland, said, “We are excited to forge this strategic relationship with Juniper Networks, as our companies share a focus on providing our customers with user experience-centric network solutions and also a similar philosophy of platform and AI-powered network operations. Our NaaS offering powered by Juniper and Microland’s Intelligeni NetOps will help provide great network experiences to our customers.”
Gordon Mackintosh, Group Vice President, Juniper Partner Organization, Juniper Networks, said, “Juniper Networks is thrilled to hire Microland as a global Elite Plus partner in the Juniper Partner Advantage (JPA) program. Juniper strives to offer a strategic co-investment plan with our Elite Plus partners to ensure that we support our partners by providing customized solutions and services that meet the needs of customers in their regions. Microland’s NaaS offering, powered by Juniper’s AI-Native Networking technology, will help enable transformative network experiences for Microland’s customers around the world.”
