Apstra unveils advanced Internetbased
network integration with
Juniper and SONiC
pstra, the pioneer of Intent-
A Based Networking (IBN)
and multinational software
company, has announced the latest
evolution of its flagship product,
Apstra AOS, preparing for the
rapid growth of the Intent-Based
Networking market.
AOS 3.3 introduces advanced IBN
capabilities to Juniper Networks
switching in addition to a wide
array of operational and opennetworking
enhancements that
enable enterprises to react more
quickly to compressed timelines
and unforeseen business shifts,
while delivering the best enduser
experience possible. These
significant product enhancements
will dramatically increase the
speed and reliability of how
networks are deployed and
operated in the data centre.
According to a recent Global
Market Insights report, Intentbased
Networking market growth
exceeded US$900 million in
2019 and is estimated to grow
at a CAGR of over 30% between
2020 and 2026. The accelerated
adoption of IBN solutions comes at a
time when data centres must meet the
compressed timelines of the business
while delivering operational simplicity
that meets or exceeds the cloud, but
with reliability.
Deploying an IBN solution is critical for
enterprises doubling down on Digital
Transformation efforts, which require
data centre network agility, increased
availability and improved ROI.
Businesses are three-times more likely
to fail in their Digital Transformation
efforts if they don’t transform their
networks first.
Apstra’s AOS is a critical piece of the
puzzle in driving towards closed-loop
automation and validation.
The unique technology addresses
the sheer network complexity facing
architects and operators by applying
day 0 validation and analytics while
leveraging a single network source of
truth. Apstra empowers organisations
to realise the significant efficiencies
and benefits of Day 0 operations
resulting from IBN. ◊
