Features + Benefits
Marvis Actions
Marvis VNA for Data Center leverages Apstra’s rich telemetry and flow data to provide a high-level view of data center network health. Marvis highlights anomalies and recommended actions in data center switching devices, virtual infrastructure, physical and logical connectivity, and security. AI-driven insights lead to faster root cause identification and issue resolution. If more detailed information is required, a single click opens the relevant screen in the Apstra user interface where the network operator can continue troubleshooting.
Conversational Assistant
Marvis uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) and Generative AI (GenAI) to understand user intent and goals. Its Conversational Assistant contextualizes natural language inquiries to provide specific answers, whether you’re troubleshooting operations or searching for data center documentation.
Multivendor Compatibility
Because Apstra is inherently multivendor, working with both Juniper and many 3rd-party switching devices, Marvis VNA for Data Center inherits those multivendor properties. This enables comprehensive visibility of data center network health, regardless of which switching vendors are being deployed.
