Tech Talk | AIOps in the Data Center Network: Driving Application Awareness and Assurance
Date: Thursday, October 10th at 11am PT / 2pm ET
AI-driven operations (AIOps) is empowering data center network teams to deliver more value to the business. Among many other benefits, emerging AIOps tools can provide real-time insights into what applications are running across the network and zero in on which network issues are impacting applications. This enables data center network teams to move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive application assurance, helping ensure that every application is working as expected so every user gets what they need.
In this live Tech Talk, IDC Research Director Mark Leary and Juniper Networks Senior Product Manager Shean Leigon talk to veteran technology journalist John K. Waters about target use cases and best practices for AI in data center operations.
They will discuss:
- What are the industry trends for AIOps adoption in the data center
- Where AI is a good fit – and where it isn’t – for data center network operations
- How AIOps complements existing network management and automation systems
- How AIOps can enable network teams to increase application awareness and reduce the time and stress required to resolve application-impacting issues
- What are the required foundations for a successful data center AIOps strategy
