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 Apstra Cloud Services can receive, process, and perform root cause analysis of data center events received through the Apstra Edge component in an Apstra-managed data center.

Juniper Apstra Cloud Services utilizes the AIOps capability of Marvis Virtual Network 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 Juniper Apstra from Juniper Apstra Cloud Services to troubleshoot and resolve events using these recommendations.

Marvis VNA 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 Juniper Apstra to manage your data center, you can monitor data center events from Mist by linking the organizations in Juniper Apstra Cloud Services 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 Apstra Cloud Services from Mist to view more information about the events and then perform the recommended actions to resolve them.
