AIOps is rapidly transforming the work and priorities of IT teams. Join us to learn how IT leaders are using AIOps today to reduce trouble tickets and find network issues before users notice a problem. In this AI Game Changers session, Bob Friday, Juniper’s Chief AI Officer, hosts Stanford’s Peter Norvig, an AI expert and visionary, for a candid and illuminating fireside chat about all things AIOps, including:
- The nuances of deep learning and machine learning in AIOps
- Where AIOps has delivered in networking and where it’s missed the mark
- The top uses cases for AIOps in networking and real-world results
- Common AIOps related challenges and how to overcome them

AI Game Changers: Demystifying AIOps

“Hmmm, I hadn’t thought of that!” When you implement AIOps, you’ll find yourself saying that often!

The rise of automation has helped network operators do a better and better job optimizing their networks and providing reliable service. One of the most influential drivers of those improvements is you're learning more and more about your networks as you manage them, and applying that learning where and when you can.

Thanks to Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI) connected to your network learns more about it faster than we humans ever could. When such AI becomes one of your partners in managing the network, it is referred to as AIOps. AIOps collects, analyzes, and makes recommendations based on a variety of sources, including the network traffic itself, environmental factors, and data coming from other systems connected to yours. In many cases, AIOps will identify opportunities for network improvement that you hadn't thought of!

In this session, we’ll examine the growth of AIOps, discussing not only how it can be applied to accelerate improvement to networks, but also how cautious humans can assure that it remains under control and positively productive.

AI for IT: Integrating Systems to Reduce Network Silos

In today’s challenging technology landscape, AI is the key to visualizing the end-user experience and resolving elusive network issues. But not all AI is built equally. 

It’s important to completely understand and trust the decisions AI makes so you can reap the full benefits, such as informed decision-making, risk reduction, increased user adoption, better governance, and faster system improvement. The problem is, traditional AI doesn’t let your IT team see how its algorithm handles decision making. You need explainable AI (XAI) to be able to trace and understand AI’s decision-making processes.   

Join Juniper data scientists and ServiceNow for a webinar to learn about the differences between traditionally black box AI and truly explainable AI. Using several AI capabilities of Juniper Mist as examples, they will describe how the machine algorithms work and the science behind them, giving you the ultimate lens into user experience. You’ll also learn how: 

To enhance your trust in AI’s capabilities by understanding how AI achieves its outcomes to positively impact networks and network operations 
A customer improved Wi-Fi experience with real-time insights into issues like authentication anomalies during users’ wireless connections 
AI can proactively identify and resolve issues to deliver the best user experience 
To evaluate networking vendors’ AI offerings with confidence using explainability as a tool

AI for IT: Accelerating Network Deployment & Improving User Experience

As our networks grow larger and more complex, our ability to manage them becomes exponentially more challenging. The only way to monitor and manage enormous quantities of traffic data is through automation, and that has given rise to AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations), the use of AI, and machine learning (ML) techniques to automate IT operations.

A corollary to Peter Drucker’s famous invocation we can readily say “If you can’t see it, you can’t manage it.” The “Network Visibility Imperative” is the need to gain comprehensive insights into network infrastructure, applications, and services to identify issues, troubleshoot problems, and optimize performance. The necessary visibility becomes impossible without AIOps.

In this on-demand webinar, industry experts examine how AIOps automatically collects and analyzes mammoth volumes of data from across the network to quickly pinpoint potential issues and their root causes.

Coffee Talks: AIOps and the Network Visibility Imperative

Think you know the truth about AI?
As an emerging technology, along with facts about its abilities come many myths prompting concern among those who will be impacted by AI.
