New managed services uniquely deliver
automation, insight and assurance needed for key enterprise digital
transformation and sustainability initiatives
Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-driven
networks, today announced that Vodafone Business is now delivering
a new SD-LAN (Software Defined Local Area Networking) managed
service built on its leading wired and wireless access
solutions.
With Juniper as the underlying networking solution for SD-LAN,
Vodafone Business’ global customers can leverage the unique
benefits of Juniper Mist™ driven by Mist AI™, and the cloud, which
provides customers with real-time insights into user experiences,
as well as automated self-driving operations that streamline
deployment and facilitate day-to-day operations. When combined with
Vodafone Business’ own expertise, the SD-LAN service delivers
predictable, reliable and measurable wired/wireless services that
can leverage proactive automated operations to eliminate an
estimated 90 percent of manually generated trouble tickets, based
on results from other Juniper Mist customers.
Vodafone Business is offering customers fully managed and
co-managed SD-LAN services with flexible subscription models,
including the opportunity to own their own on-premises equipment.
It is based on Juniper’s wide array of wireless Access Points and
EX switches, managed via cloud-driven wired and wireless access
assurance services and the industry’s only AI-driven virtual
network assistant (VNA). With advanced AIOps (AI for IT Operations)
capabilities, Vodafone Business can offer a superior SD-LAN
solution with simple zero touch provisioning for quick onboarding,
proactive problem detection and resolution for maximum resiliency,
and customizable wired and wireless service levels for assured user
experiences.
Vodafone Business and Juniper share a focus on the importance of
more sustainable networking for their own and their customers’
operations, a philosophy which underpins the SD-LAN service. With
AI-driven automation for deployment verification and
troubleshooting, the new managed service can significantly reduce
the number of site visits (in one case study, site visits were
reduced by 85 percent), saving on carbon emissions. In addition,
the cloud-based offering consumes less power and space than
alternative wired/wireless solutions by minimizing on-site
appliances (e.g., wireless LAN controllers). The SD-LAN service
supports the circular economy via the Juniper Certified Pre-Owned
Program (JCPO) and a Try & Buy option.
News highlights
- Vodafone’s Business SD-LAN offering is built using Juniper’s
cloud-based wired and wireless assurance services, driven by Mist
AI. This provides a secure, agile, scalable and sustainable wired
and wireless user experience across distributed locations.
- Juniper® Series of High-Performance Access Points and Juniper
Networks® EX Series Ethernet Switches create a cloud-ready,
streamlined yet powerful campus network fabric. With scalability in
mind, Juniper Mist APs and EX Series Switches offer a comprehensive
solution that enables Vodafone Business to grow a customer’s LAN
seamlessly as needed.
- Marvis™, Juniper’s unique AI-driven Virtual Network Assistant
with a conversational interface, helps Vodafone Business and its
customers interact more effectively with the network, speeding time
to resolution and reducing costs. Proactive and predictive actions
help prevent problems before they even arise.
- Customers for SD-LAN first undergo a rigorous audit of their
existing network, which includes a thorough assessment of business
objectives, specified outcomes and required resources. A bespoke
campus LAN is designed then deployed through a phased migration
plan to ensure business continuity.

important to enterprises in any sector, any region. But for some,
