Marvis VNA for Data Center
Marvis Virtual Network Assistant (VNA) for Data Center is the industry’s only AI-Native virtual network assistant for data center operations. It works in conjunction with Juniper Apstra Intent-based Networking to provide proactive and prescriptive data center actions and simplify knowledgebase queries using the Marvis conversational interface (powered by GenAI). Proactive actions by Marvis save time and money and increase network uptime by accelerating problem resolution.
Marvis VNA for Data Center is part of the Apstra Cloud Services product suite for data center AI operations (AIOps). Combining the power of AIOps and intent-based networking creates an unbeatable operational experience for data center network teams. Together, they enable continuous adaptation to evolving network patterns, proactively identifying anomalies and providing a more responsive and adaptive approach to network management. In addition, operators have a simpler way to understand the behavior of their network and quickly answer common deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting questions. With Marvis VNA for data center, operators can reduce OPEX by 85%, and have the confidence they need to deliver reliable, measurable, secure and high-quality connections at scale for every user experience.

Features + Benefits
Marvis Actions
Marvis VNA for Data Center leverages Apstra’s rich telemetry and flow data to provide a high-level view of data center network health. Marvis highlights anomalies and recommended actions in data center switching devices, virtual infrastructure, physical and logical connectivity, and security. AI-driven insights lead to faster root cause identification and issue resolution. If more detailed information is required, a single click opens the relevant screen in the Apstra user interface where the network operator can continue troubleshooting.
Conversational Assistant
Marvis uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) and Generative AI (GenAI) to understand user intent and goals. Its Conversational Assistant contextualizes natural language inquiries to provide specific answers, whether you’re troubleshooting operations or searching for data center documentation.
Multivendor Compatibility
Because Apstra is inherently multivendor, working with both Juniper and many 3rd-party switching devices, Marvis VNA for Data Center inherits those multivendor properties. This enables comprehensive visibility of data center network health, regardless of which switching vendors are being deployed.
