Juniper unveils Mist AI updates to boost network automation
Juniper Networks has announced updates to its Mist AI-native networking platform, which include new automated network issue resolution, expanded monitoring across environments, and improved device-side telemetry capabilities.
The new features introduced in the Mist platform focus on providing greater visibility and control for enterprises managing increasingly complex networks. The enhancements are designed to deliver expanded insights and assurance to users across wired, wireless, and wide area network (WAN) environments.
A key component of the upgrade is the Marvis Minis digital experience monitoring, which now offers end-to-end analysis from client to cloud. Marvis Minis enables users to baseline and pinpoint where application performance may be suffering, with no requirement for additional agents or sensors. The latest version delivers new service level expectations (SLEs), supporting increased visibility into application performance at the site, across sites, in different regions, and within individual internet service providers.
"The Mist AI-native networking platform was purpose-built to converge AI and networking for exceptional operator and end user experiences," said Sudheer Matta, Senior Vice President, Products, Campus and Branch, Juniper Networks. "These enhancements shift the paradigm from traditional observability to an AI-native model for truly understanding user experience that's actionable at scale. We think of the new Marvis Minis as a million Minis—digital experience twins working in unison to proactively identify, learn and act before issues impact the user. With Marvis Minis, Juniper continues to deliver state-of-the-art automation, insight and assurance—setting the stage for a foundational shift to agentic AI in the networking industry."
Marvis Minis is engineered to provide comprehensive monitoring and swift identification of performance problems, aiming to resolve issues before they impact end user experience. The platform extension is intended to make troubleshooting network and application issues faster and more efficient in both public and private cloud environments.
Andy Lorenc, Network Engineer at Robert Half, commented on their experience with Marvis Minis, stating: "Marvis Minis has been a game changer for us by providing precise, proactive alerts about site issues. Through hourly synthetic tests on our network systems, we identify problems before customers arrive, giving us enough time to address and resolve them. By pinpointing the exact areas causing issues, we spend much less time and effort troubleshooting. That's why we're so excited about the addition of client-to-cloud and the fact that we now have complete real-time visibility and a unified view across devices, the network, and applications. Troubleshooting is only getting easier—another significant benefit of having Marvis Minis fully integrated into Mist and a part of our existing Marvis subscription with ever expanding features and toolsets that bring more value to existing investment."
Alongside these monitoring capabilities, a new Marvis Actions dashboard has been introduced. This visual dashboard focuses on self-driving network operations and allows IT teams to manage and maintain full control over when and how automated tasks are enabled. The dashboard also provides users with a history of all proactive actions taken, whether autonomous or assisted, along with information on how each issue was identified and resolved by Marvis AI Assistant.
Complementing these updates, the Marvis Client now brings device-side telemetry from Android, Windows, and macOS devices. The system collects data on device type, operating system, radio hardware, firmware, and connectivity metrics, which is then processed by the Mist cloud for actionable insights. This approach is achieved without requiring additional agents or hardware sensors, reducing complexity and associated costs for network operators.
The ability of Marvis Client to capture and transmit telemetry in near real-time is designed to provide IT departments with a clearer understanding of user experiences and to aid in identifying and resolving issues affecting user performance. When combined with data from Juniper access points, routers, switches, and firewalls, IT teams can address problems promptly and consistently, contributing to the maintenance of high-quality user experiences.
The updated platform fits into a broader industry trend towards more automated, AI-driven network operations, as organisations seek to adapt to environments with rising complexity and distributed assets.
Bob Laliberte, Principal Analyst at theCUBE Research, commented on the developments. "To overcome the increased complexity of highly distributed networks, organizations need to adopt self-driving networks and agentic AI technologies. These advances will enable increased operational efficiency, enhanced customer experiences and better business insights. It all starts with a comprehensive, granular understanding of the network, users and applications environment. By leveraging an innovative and established AI-native networking platform, Juniper continues to raise the bar for end-to-end visibility, and proactive control in modern network environments."

Tesla Model Y Performance hits the Nurburgring
A revised Performance version of Tesla's 'Juniper' Model Y update will soon join the electric family SUV line-up. Despite the camouflage, it's possible to make out subtle design tweaks. Tesla doesn't go all out to hide its potent Performance or top-spec Plaid versions. This tester has an identical front bumper to the facelifted Model Y, and the Cybertruck-inspired lighting signature. Rear lights are unlikely to change either. In fact the only real change to hint it's the Performance model is in the new ducktail spoiler and flash wheel design. The latter will come wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tyres. You can expect red brake calipers too for the Performance mode, as seen on this prototype. And a lower ride height is possible. Expect a suspension retune and perhaps extended range, given that the other variants showed range improvements. It is up to 620km for the Long Range Rear-Drive model. Check out our review of the 2023 Tesla Model Y Performance here. There could be a boost in performance, too. The previous Performance model managed 0-96 in 3.5 seconds. An even lower figure would place it amongst some seriously rapid SUVs. There will surely be a redesigned centre console, like with the other updated Model Y variants. A new wheel is likely too. And instead of having two stalks the new car will have just one, with gear selection being done via the central screen. The infotainment system is the latest from Tesla, although it sits within the same 15.4-inch touchscreen display.

Nearly two thirds of workers would switch jobs for a higher salary
Only 16 percent of workers believed pay was more important than job security in the current labour market, the survey showed. Photo: 123rf More than 60 percent of office workers surveyed said they would switch jobs for a higher salary, with a pay rise of at least 20 percent being the most common incentive. The recruitment company Robert Half commissioned the online survey of 500 full-time New Zealand workers in finance, accounting, IT and technology. It found many believed they are underpaid by 10 to 20 percent. Sixty-one percent of workers would switch jobs for a higher salary. Robert Half New Zealand director Ronil Singh told Morning Report at least a 20 percent increase was the most common pay rise that would compel workers to leave. "What the survey shows is that's probably the percentage term that people would probably look for to jump ship, however that's not accurate for all. "Also we've got to take into consideration are businesses actually giving 20 percent increases for the same job just because you're going to move roles? The short answer is no. "Whilst 20 percent is the average increase that people make a move for, it's still a high ask for a lot of businesses - so it's not realistic to achieve this in this current economic climate." The survey showed that only 16 percent of workers believed pay was more important than job security in the current labour market. Singh said that showed that even though money was a powerful influence, many employees were weighing financial wishes against the need for job security. Employees needed to understand that a 20 percent increase would also lead to a change in expectations and more responsibility, he said. The research showed many workers felt their pay did not reflect their worth which could be due to stagnant wages despite increased responsibilities or a perception that their compensation lagged behind industry standards for similar roles, he said. The recruitment company was getting a mix of opinions about how happy staff were in their current jobs, he said. "There are some companies that have gone through a lot of change in the last 12 or 18 months and that's causing a little bit of uncertainty for their workforce and there are some that are actually very happy in their roles, so it's actually a mixed bag." The survey showed that about 40 percent of respondents felt "quite valued in terms of their current roles", he said. But the survey suggested that 60 percent of employees still felt undervalued and that an increased salary would better reflect what they brought to their role and the work required of them, he said. "I think the cost of living pressure there's a perception of feeling undervalued, and there's also a focus on financial security for people as well that's causing them to feel that way."
