AIM: What are your thoughts on connected security arrangements? Moreover, keeping security concerns as one of the highest priority especially with enterprises embracing hybrid work models, SD-WAN presents new security capabilities that can be designed to secure distributed network architecture and cloud-based applications. With SD-WAN, enterprises gain the flexibility that allows them to scale connectivity based on their ever-changing business needs. Today, it is crucial for enterprises to lower the complexity of enterprise networks and reduce time taken to deploy new services. This typically uses less expensive connectivity such as internet broadband or ethernet. SD-WAN offers a more cost-effective solution by adding new links without making changes to the network or infrastructure. However, this approach is no longer sustainable in the long run due to rapidly growing bandwidth demand driven by cloud-based applications and digital content consumption. Also, the use of MPLS links is still prevalent among enterprises today. The programmability of SD-WAN combined with real-time monitoring of the networks offer greater visibility, control and orchestration to ensure that networks stay up and running. Ravinder Singh: With the growing needs of consumers, the delivery of services needs to be quick. AIM: How does SD-WAN transform the user experience? In an experience-first era, it is crucial for networks to deliver optimised experiences and operational simplicity.

Keeping that in mind, the network for the next decade must be built on AI-driven automation, actionable insights, and agility, all bolstered by the elasticity of a microservices cloud.

We see that traditional wired and wireless LAN solutions are built on antiquated architectures that lack the scale, reliability and agility needed to address todayвЂ™s diverse enterprise needs. There is zero tolerance to network downtime as a few seconds or minutes of network downtime will undoubtedly spark customer and end-user dissatisfaction. It has forced organisations to prioritise always-on connectivity and build network infrastructures that facilitates a seamless experience, no matter the location, to ensure that business gets done anytime and anywhere. Ravinder Singh: The ongoing pandemic has disrupted the basic nature of business operations. AIM: How could AI solutions help companies navigate the post pandemic world? This provides a platform that offers smart, scalable solutions and services focused on meeting digital transformation needs and operational simplicity, while delivering advanced wired and wireless experiences. Ravinder Singh: The Juniper Mist Cloud Architecture is built on modern microservices that combines AI, machine learning and data science. Furthermore, organisations need to standardise platforms with consistent design and architecture, securely and within budget,вЂќ said Ravinder.Д®xcerpts: AIM: Tell us about the tech behind your Mist-AI cloud architecture вЂњA few key goals of digital transformation include optimising the deployment speed of applications and services, enhancing end-user experiences, and providing access to efficiency in a simple and efficient manner.

Between 20, the direct investments into digital transformation are projected to reach a total of $7.8 trillion, as per Statista,ДЄnalytics India Magazine got in touch with Ravinder Singh, Director & Head of Enterprise & Government, India & SAARC, Juniper Networks, to understand more about its cloud & AI based solutions. The pandemic has accelerated the digitisation journey of enterprises across the globe.
