Juniper Networks has actually presented a brand-new suite of WAN automation software application developed to assist telcos, big business, and cloud suppliers guarantee great application efficiency and quality of service.
Juniper Apotheosis Automation is a set of 5 incorporated software application tools (4 by Juniper and one by a partner) that the business states removes manual jobs and procedures.
It permits companies to design and evaluate brand-new services to confirm that their networks can deal with the load prior to releasing them. The software application immediately releases and triggers those services, keeping an eye on the network constantly. If it finds prospective network issues, it immediately remediates them prior to consumers see a destruction in service, Juniper stated.
The suite is developed to offer business much better network presence and control to guarantee great user experience as they support more cloud-hosted material, applications, and services on 5G networks and at the edge in the coming years, stated Julius Francis, Juniper’s senior director of item marketing.
” With 5G, IoT, and the cloud, you see emerging applications, and the quality of the [customer] experience matters, be it video gaming, video conferencing or enhanced truth,” Francis informed DCK. The focus is two-fold, he discussed: to raise both functional and end-user experience.
IDC expert Brad Casemore stated the innovation is essential due to the fact that it assists with smart automation of WAN facilities and operations, which in turn increases dexterity, enhances functional performances, and assists line up networks with the application/digital experience.
Juniper’s main competitors in this area is Cisco Crosswork, he stated.
( Juniper CTO Raj Yavatkar just recently shared his vision and method for information center and network automation in an interview for The Information Center Podcast.)
” Eventually, the network should be completely automated to support application workflows– which equates into easier management procedures for network operators and much better experiences for application users,” Casemore informed DCK. “That’s why Juniper has actually gathered these formerly different elements under the Apotheosis umbrella. What is essential is not the piece parts, however what they make up from a services perspective.”
How Juniper Apotheosis Automation Functions
The 5 incorporated software application tools within Juniper Apotheosis Automation streamline management of the lifecycle of a service within a WAN, Francis stated.
The 5 items in the suite are:
- Apotheosis Organizer, previously NorthStar Organizer, which assists network operators strategy, design, and confirm a service.
- Apotheosis Insights, previously Healthbot, a network health and diagnostic tool that utilizes device finding out to examine real-time telemetry information, areas network abnormalities and carries out restorative actions.
- Apotheosis Pathfinder, previously NorthStar, an SDN (software-defined networking) controller that streamlines traffic engineering, such as sector routing and network slicing.
- Apotheosis Active Guarantee releases software application representatives that constantly penetrate the network for efficiency problems. The innovation originated from Juniper’s acquisition of Netrounds in 2015 and works together with Apotheosis Insights, Francis stated. It “can produce traffic to simulate applications from Layers 2 to 7. They can validate and verify constantly through the lifecycle of a service to guarantee it is actively ensured.”
- Anuta ATOM Network Automation Platform is used through a collaboration with Anuta Networks. As soon as a service is designed with Apotheosis Organizer, companies can quickly release it with the Anuta software application, Francis stated. Anuta uses setup and compliance management, service orchestration, workflow and closed-loop automation.

Juniper Apotheosis Automation will be readily available as a cloud-native application. Consumers can release it on facilities or in the general public cloud as a software-as-a-service offering, Francis stated.
Anuta ATOM and Juniper Active Guarantee are readily available now. The other 3 will be readily available throughout the very first half of 2021, he stated.
