), Intent-based Networking market growth exceeded $900 million in 2019 and is

estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 30% between 2020 and 2026. The accelerated

adoption of IBN solutions comes at a time when data centers must meet the

compressed timelines of the business while delivering operational simplicity

that meets or exceeds the cloud, but with reliability. Deploying an IBN

solution is critical for enterprises doubling down on digital transformation

efforts, which require data center network agility, increased availability, and

improved ROI. Businesses are three times more likely to fail in their digital

transformation efforts if they don't transform their networks first.

"The monitoring and managing of Data Center operations continue to grow

progressively more complex and increasingly mission-critical as enterprises

accelerate their digital transformation," said Mansour Karam, Founder and

President of Apstra. "IBN is the solution that many network architects and

operators are counting on to help their organizations keep up. As the rise of

IBN comes into focus, extending our unique and advanced IBN capabilities to

Juniper Networks, paired with the operational enhancements, allows us to

deliver our industry-leading solution across a wider variety of hardware

choices."

Apstra's AOS is a critical piece of the puzzle in driving toward closed-loop

automation and validation. The unique technology addresses the sheer network

complexity facing architects and operators by applying day 0 validation and

analytics while leveraging a single network source of truth. Apstra empowers

organizations to realize the significant efficiencies and benefits of Day 0

operations resulting from IBN.

"The extreme demands of Switzerland's renowned financial services industry

needs an infrastructure that guarantees the lowest latency and response times

with high-cost efficiency and high levels of reliability," explains Hanspeter

Tinner, Chief Service Officer and co-founder of Beelastic. "This is only

possible if the latest technologies are used throughout. Apstra's end-to-end

automation and simple operational model helps us deliver the lowest response

times with the highest cost efficiency and reliability. And with their rapid

feature velocity, we are confident they'll continue delivering on our and our

customers' requirements in the future."

Apstra AOS empowers organizations to automate all aspects of the network

design, build, deploy, and operate phases. The leading IBN solution leverages

advanced intent-based analytics to continuously validate the network, thereby

eliminating complexity, vulnerabilities, and outages resulting in a secure and

resilient network. To learn more about transforming your enterprise with
