Why Your Multi-Site Network Needs an AI Assistant

5 June 2025 ·Blog ·DiGiCOR

Managing a distributed network across multiple sites isn’t just difficult—it’s becoming unsustainable without automation. IT teams are constantly faced with inconsistent user experiences, Wi-Fi black spots, and delayed support resolutions caused by manual troubleshooting and limited onsite resources. Without centralised visibility, problems go unnoticed until users complain—and by then, the damage is already done.

This complexity can stall growth, reduce productivity, and overwhelm even the most experienced IT teams. But there is a smarter way forward: meet Marvis, the AI-powered network assistant at the heart of Juniper's AI-native networking platform, Mist.


Old Way vs. AI-Native Networking

Traditional networks rely heavily on manual processes, disconnected tools, and reactive support, leading to slower fixes and inconsistent performance. In contrast, AI-native networking with the Mist platform and Marvis AI automates issue detection, standardises experiences, and provides real-time visibility, making networks smarter, faster, and easier to manage.

Category Traditional Networks AI-Native
Issue Resolution Manual ticket triage and troubleshooting Proactive issue detection and AI-assisted resolution
Provisioning New Sites Hours or days of manual setup Zero-touch provisioning in minutes
Network Visibility Disconnected tools with partial data Single cloud dashboard with full-stack insights
User Experience Inconsistent due to local variations Standardised and monitored continuously with Marvis
Scalability Complex and time-consuming Cloud-native and modular for fast scaling
IT Resource Demand High workload on small IT teams Automation reduces ticket volume and frees up IT for strategy

Meet Marvis: Your AI-Powered IT Co-Pilot

Marvis AI Assistant isn’t just another chatbot. It’s the industry’s first AI-native network assistant, purpose-built for enterprise IT teams managing distributed environments. Whether you're supporting three offices or 300 branches, Marvis turns network complexity into clarity.

Here’s how:

  1. Natural Language Queries. Ask Marvis real questions—no commands needed.
    • Example: “Why is Wi-Fi bad in Room 201?”
    • Marvis scans telemetry data and client device logs, then gives a clear explanation and recommended action. No more digging through logs or escalation chains.
  2. Proactive Issue Resolution. Marvis doesn't wait for tickets to roll in. It continuously scans the network, detects anomalies, and resolves issues autonomously—often before users are even aware of a problem.
  3. Lower Ticket Volume & Faster MTTR. Marvis streamlines support by eliminating repetitive tickets and surfacing root causes instantly. =

Success Story: The City of Greater Geraldton

The City of Greater Geraldton (CGG) partnered with DiGiCOR and Juniper to modernise its aging infrastructure, it faced serious challenges: legacy hardware, Wi-Fi black spots, siloed management tools, and growing demand for digital services.

By deploying a full-stack Juniper Mist solution—including switches, access points, firewalls, SD-WAN, and the Marvis AI assistant—CGG achieved:

  • 100% network visibility and faster troubleshooting

  • Reliable Wi-Fi 6 coverage city-wide

  • Improved security and reduced service disruptions

  • Automated provisioning and simplified IT management

This transformation didn’t just fix problems—it laid the foundation for future smart city applications, enabled remote work, and ensured secure, scalable connectivity for years to come.
