This 47-minute presentation from AI Infrastructure Field Day showcases Juniper Networks' advanced Apstra functionality designed specifically for AI data center network operations. Learn how to efficiently manage complex AI networks with the right context and tools as Jeremy Wallace, Data Center/IP Fabric Architect, explains why understanding a network's expected behavior is crucial for quick issue identification and resolution. Discover how Juniper enhances existing Apstra capabilities with new features including compute agents for NVIDIA servers, specialized probes, and comprehensive dashboards for AI network monitoring. Follow the evolution of network management from traditional approaches to proactive, data-driven methodologies that leverage telemetry from GPU NICs and switches to provide real-time performance insights. Explore practical implementations of the Honeycomb view, traffic dashboards, and integration with congestion control mechanisms (ECN and PFC) that give operators unprecedented visibility into network behavior. Watch a live demonstration of the platform's capabilities including real-time traffic analysis, GPU utilization heatmaps, and auto-tuning load balancing that dynamically adjusts parameters to optimize performance and eliminate out-of-sequence packets. Recorded in Santa Clara, California on April 23, 2025, as part of AI Infrastructure Field Day, this presentation offers valuable insights for maintaining optimal performance and minimizing downtime in critical AI infrastructure environments.
