Introduction

Network administrators need real-time visibility into data center operations. Identifying data center issues and resolving them before they affect the network is crucial to providing an enhanced user experience. Juniper Data Center Assurance can receive, process, and perform root cause analysis of data center events received through the Apstra Edge component in a Data Center Director-managed data center.

Juniper Data Center Assurance utilizes the AIOps capability of Marvis AI Assistant for Data Center to analyze data center events and displays them in the Marvis Actions dashboard. Marvis Actions provides recommended actions that enable administrators to proactively respond to data center events. As an administrator, you can access Apstra Data Center Director from Juniper Data Center Assurance to troubleshoot and resolve events using these recommendations.

Marvis AI Assistant for Data Center also provides a conversational interface, which administrators can use to ask queries in natural language and get relevant responses.

If you use Mist to manage your enterprise network and Apstra Data Center Director to manage your data center, you can monitor data center events from Mist by linking the organizations in Juniper Data Center Assurance and Mist. After the organizations are linked, you can view the total number of data center events from Mist in the Data Center/Application tile on the Marvis Actions page. You can then access Juniper Data Center Assurance from Mist to view more information about the events and then perform the recommended actions to resolve them.
