The Future of AI-Native Network Experiences

Organizations have started to recognize the critical role of their networks in their overall enterprise digital strategy and hence must continually evolve and improve network infrastructure to meet business demands for increased agility, performance, and speed. AI and generative AI (GenAI) are emerging as pivotal technological transformations that will significantly impact network processes, making bandwidth, performance, and speed essential for AI success.

This IDC analyst report titled “The Future of AI-Native Network Experiences Requires Expert Professional Services,” sponsored by Wipro and Juniper Networks, explores the transformative impact of AI and generative AI (GenAI) on network infrastructure.

Some key takeaways from the report

• AI and GenAI will significantly impact connectivity strategy and investments, requiring organizations to examine network architectural paradigms and technologies that leverage AI.
• New operational processes coupled with limited skills and resources will necessitate the use of professional services to successfully design, implement, operationalize, and adopt AI/GenAI initiatives across networks and infrastructure.
• AI can drive productivity, insights, and new business models, with network performance being a core component. Challenges such as security, cost, complexity, and limited skills must be addressed.
• Organizations must carefully evaluate vendor options and operating paradigms, considering the evolving landscape of familiar and new vendors.
