Juniper Networks has driven the reach of its Mist artificial intelligence networking capabilities into the WAN for better insights and automation. After buying wireless LAN vendor Mist early last year, Juniper has been integrating Mist’s AI capabilities across its LAN, WLAN and now WAN products and services to improve end-to-end optimization.
“When we acquired the company, it was a wireless LAN solution,” said Juniper Networks CEO Rami Rahim, during Tuesday’s second quarter earnings call, according to a Seeking Alpha transcript. “But when we combined with Mist, we really did it because the strategy was to take that cloud-delivered, AI-driven engine and extend it across our entire portfolio.
