Tech Bytes: Juniper Integrates SD-WAN, AI Ops To Solve WAN Challenges (Sponsored)
On today's Tech Bytes podcast we talk with sponsor Juniper Networks about its AI-driven SD-WAN. While SD-WAN solves a number of problems for network engineers, it also introduces new ones: more site links, more link types, more paths, more ISPs, and more apps, all of which means more data. The Mist AI integration with SD-WAN looks for network anomalies that could lead to problems, and can often fix those problems automatically.
