Juniper Paragon

Deliver speed, agility, and best-in-class service experiences.

Network automation is fundamental to delivering consistent, exceptional experiences. With manual or semi-automated network management, device onboarding and service activation can take days or weeks. Service deliveries fail. Network failure risk is high. Outages are costly. Repairs are lengthy. And constant change in traffic patterns makes it impossible to keep up with the configuration changes required to guarantee service levels in real time.

The Juniper Paragon portfolio addresses all these challenges so you can achieve your desired business outcomes, use case by use case. Use it to accelerate innovation, increase operational efficiency, and, most importantly, empower engineering and operations teams to deliver amazing service experiences.

Actively verify service quality

Assure your network’s ability to support service quality before deployment, then continually and automatically validate service performance against service-level objectives. Locate, troubleshoot, and fix service issues before your customers are impacted. Non-intrusive, active test agents provide service-quality metrics, from users to cloud, by running synthetic transactions across the data plane.

Gain network insights

Measure service quality. Normalize data across network domains and vendors using streaming telemetry. Analyze the data using a library of algorithms, including machine learning, and obtain actionable insights on network and service performance. Paragon pinpoints anomalies that would impact contracted service levels and drives closed-loop workflows for remedial action.
