Juniper Networks has partnered with Google Cloud to streamline enterprise campus and branch networking using Google’s Cloud WAN combined with Juniper’s Mist AI-Native Networking Platform. The integrated solution enables businesses to deploy new branch locations faster while delivering consistent wired, wireless, and WAN user experiences. Available through the Google Cloud Marketplace, the offering eliminates the need for on-premises hardware by hosting network services directly in the cloud.
Announced at Google Cloud Next ‘25, the collaboration targets organizations looking to improve performance and reliability for GenAI workloads and cloud applications. Google’s Cloud WAN acts as a managed backbone, while Juniper’s Mist platform brings AIOps-powered automation to reduce operational complexity, enhance network security, and maintain low-latency connectivity across users, devices, and applications.
By leveraging Mist’s AI-driven operations with Google’s global cloud infrastructure, the joint solution provides a unified management experience across branches and campuses. Enterprises gain end-to-end visibility, consistent policy enforcement, and cloud-delivered threat protection—all aimed at lowering costs and simplifying operations.
Key points:
• Google Cloud WAN now supports Juniper’s Mist AI-Native Networking via the Google Cloud Marketplace
• Services include wired and wireless LAN, network access control (NAC), firewalls, and secure SD-WAN
• Cloud-based deployment eliminates on-premises hardware and simplifies branch operations
• AIOps ensures reliable, secure, low-latency connections across users and devices
• Enhances enterprise agility for rapidly scaling new branches and services
“Juniper’s AI-Native Networking Platform is a perfect complement to Google’s Cloud WAN solution, enabling enterprises to overcome campus and branch management complexity and optimize application performance through low latency connectivity, self-driving automation and proactive insights,” said Sujai Hajela, EVP, Campus and Branch, Juniper Networks.
