- Continued momentum for Mist™, in our opinion, Juniper’s AI-native networking platform with self-driving operations using Marvis Actions and agentic AI
SUNNYVALE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Juniper Networks, (NYSE: JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-native networks, has announced that in the 2025 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure, for the fourth consecutive time, Gartner Inc. has positioned it furthest in “Completeness of Vision” and highest for “Ability to Execute”. In this latest Magic Quadrant, Gartner has also named Juniper a Leader for the fifth consecutive time.
Completeness of Vision is evaluated on criteria such as market understanding, marketing and sales strategy, offering (product) strategy, innovation etc. Ability to Execute criteria includes product or service, market responsiveness/record, marketing execution, etc.
As Gartner explains, “A Gartner Magic Quadrant is a culmination of research in a specific market, giving you a wide-angle view of the relative positions of the market’s competitors. By applying a graphical treatment and a uniform set of evaluation criteria, a Magic Quadrant helps you quickly ascertain how well technology providers are executing their stated visions and how well they are performing against Gartner’s market view. A Magic Quadrant provides a graphical competitive positioning of four types of technology providers, in markets where growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct.”
“AI for networking operations (AIOps) has become the strategic focus for enterprises to prepare their wired and wireless infrastructure for the future,” said Sudheer Matta, SVP, Campus & Branch, Juniper Networks. “With over a decade of AI innovation under our belt, Juniper delivers holistic, self-driving networking solutions featuring digital experience twins with agentic AI and Large Experience Models (LEMs) that deliver exceptional user experiences and simplified IT operations. We believe that being named a Leader by Gartner for the fifth time in a row underscores the advantages of our true AI-native platform with self-driving operations and provides validation for any enterprise looking for a wired/wireless infrastructure that is purpose-built for the modern AI era.”
The company believes continued customer traction for its Mist AI-native networking platform and the Marvis® AI engine has been the defining factor in accelerating sales momentum in the enterprise sector with orders for Mist and other products attached to the Mist cloud growing more than 40 percent year-over-year in Q1 2025.
“As one of the world’s largest grocery retailers with over 7,000 stores worldwide, the ALDI SOUTH Group continuously explores new ways to streamline operations, enhance in-store experiences, and offer customers high-quality products at unbeatable prices. To support this objective, Juniper provides ALDI with a campus network which supports secure, reliable connectivity across supply chain operations, point-of-sale systems and digital in-store experiences.
