Mist is using AI to revolutionize enterprise networking. By delivering unprecedented automation and insights, the Mist AI Platform saves time and money, maximizes IT productivity, and delivers the best networking experience to any digital user.
Mist has brought true innovation to the networking space with the world’s first AI-driven wired and wireless network.
The Mist AI Platform makes networking predictable, reliable and measurable with unprecedented visibility into the user experience. Time consuming manual IT tasks are replaced with AI-driven proactive automation and self-healing capabilities, lowering networking operational costs and saving substantial time and money.
Mist also brings enterprise-grade Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® LE and IoT together so businesses can increase the value of their wireless networks through personalized location services, such as wayfinding, proximity notifications, and asset location. With Mist’s patented virtual BLE (vBLE) technology, no battery beacons or manual calibration are required. Mist also extends our AI operational efficiency and insights to the wired side of the business.
All operations are managed via Mist’s open and programmable microservices cloud architecture. This delivers maximum scalability and performance while also bringing DevOps agility to wired and wireless networking and location services.
Microservices bring unparalleled agility, scale, resiliency
Mist makes it easy to add or remove new features by leveraging a microservices cloud architecture. New enhancements and bug fixes are delivered almost weekly without network disruption. Services scale up or down elastically when they’re needed, eliminating the cost and complexity of monolithic hardware. Plus, the Mist platform is inherently resilient as the failure of one service does not impact others.
AI engine lowers OpEx, delivers unprecedented insight
The Mist Cloud uses AI and data science to analyze large amounts of rich
metadata collected from Mist Access Points and Juniper EX Series Switches to provide actionable insight. For example:
Networking–as-a-Service
The Mist Cloud enables networking and location services to be consumed in a scalable and cost effective manner. Customers select the specific subscription services (detailed on page 2) that are best for their environment, and can easily add/remove cloud services as business requirements change. No additional hardware is required.
Fully programmable cloud
The Mist platform is 100% programmable, using open APIs, for full automation and seamless integration with complementary products including our AI for IT partners across LAN, WAN, security, engagement and asset location.
