Juniper Networks Launches Local Cloud Instance in India

Juniper Networks, an AI-native networking provider, has announced the launch of a local cloud instance in India for its wireless access, wired access, network access control (NAC), indoor location services, and SD-WAN solutions, powered by Mist AI. This development supports India's data protection regulations, restricting the transfer of sensitive data, and underlines Juniper’s commitment to data security and privacy.

Juniper Networks has seen significant growth in India, particularly in sectors such as government, public sector, and financial services institutions (FSI). The new India-based cloud instance aligns with this demand, providing a cloud-native architecture that offers microservices agility, resilience, and elastic scalability. This ensures local hosting and storage, addressing concerns around data privacy and cybersecurity by keeping data securely stored within the country.

AI-Powered Solutions for Enhanced User Experience

Juniper’s Mist solutions deliver automation, insight, and assurance, simplifying operations and improving user experience. The entire Juniper campus and branch portfolio is managed via a unified Juniper Mist cloud and AI engine, offering seamless management across wired, wireless, WAN, and security domains. The proactive Self-Driving Network operations reduce network issues before they occur, eliminating over 90 per cent of network trouble tickets in certain cases.

Juniper Networks has also been named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure, marking the fourth consecutive year of this recognition.
