Self-Driving Network™

The vision of Digital Cohesion,
with many services coming together
and higher end user expectations,
will require networks that
are much more autonomous,
adaptive and efficient.
Advances in telemetry, automation
and artificial intelligence
are enabling an economically
feasible Self-Driving Network.
An autonomous network
that's programmed
to independently
carry out your intentions.
The Self-Driving Network
eliminates the complex
programming and
management tasks
required, today, to run your network.
Autonomous networks
will self-configure,
self-monitor,
self-manage,
self-correct,
self-defend,
and self-analyze,
all with very little human intervention.
They will predict and resolve
performance issues
before users are affected.
In these ways, the Self-Driving
Network will eliminate
burdensome operational tasks
and free your IT staff to innovate.
Operating costs will drop.
Security, reliability and
resilience will improve.
And the speed of
business will accelerate.
Five technologies are essential
to making the Self-Driving
Network a reality.
First, telemetry.
We need to move to deep telemetry
where information is streamed
from the network, in real time,
in a way that consumable
by machines
so that they can do the analysis.
Second is automation.
Getting to things like
smarter auto-bandwidth
that understands the difference
between a DDoS attack
and a popular video download,
and taking appropriate action.
Third is about intent-driven
programming.
The idea is to tell the network
what you want to accomplish
and let the network execute on
the details of the implementation.
Four is rules-based decision making,
combined with artificial intelligence
and machine learning
to ensure that the network
improves itself overtime
but also adheres to certain
absolute rules and boundaries.
And last is having local and
global views of the network
and coordinating between the two,
and zooming in and
out where necessary.
Juniper has invested substantially
in the automation and
programmability tools
needed to build this foundation
of the Self-Driving Network.
We will continue to
develop these capabilities
and add new technologies
to eventually deliver
an autonomous network.
Freed from the operational tasks,
your team can spend
more time innovating,
moving your business forward.
