Solution brief An AI-Native Network Powering Public Sector Innovation

Business challenge

Enterprise networks are under pressure as organizations expand across campus, branch, and remote environments. The complexity of managing wired, wireless, SD-WAN, and security infrastructure has grown faster than most IT teams can keep pace. Legacy infrastructure and siloed tools create real operational drag — manual troubleshooting, reactive issue resolution, and fragmented visibility that slows teams down and leaves security gaps exposed. The result is a network that struggles to keep up with the demands of a modern workforce. Employees expect reliable, high-performance connectivity wherever they work, IT teams need visibility and automated management, and business leaders need confidence that the network underpinning their operations is secure, scalable, and ready for what comes next. Incremental upgrades to aging infrastructure won’t get organizations there. A fundamentally smarter approach is required.

Our solution

Mist AI™, available from Insight, is HPE’s AI-native networking solution for managing and optimizing network infrastructure and security. Mist AI uses a single cloud platform and the Marvis™ AI engine to unify AI-native operations; a comprehensive client-tocloud portfolio spanning enterprise, service provider, and cloud provider domains; and critical AI-native security to deliver intelligent defense and proactive risk mitigation. This architecture is the foundation for real-time insights, smart recommendations, a simplified and scalable system, and greater cost efficiency across the organization.

Features & benefits

By unifying networking and security, Mist AI enables consistent management, policy enforcement, configuration, operations, and administration across a common cloud with a shared intelligence layer. Mist AI uses AI to monitor network activity, analyze performance, and send automated responses across wired, wireless, SD-WAN, WAN, and data center environments.

Outcome 

With Insight’s delivery of Mist AI networking solutions, organizations move beyond the operational limitations of legacy networks to achieve greater consistency, efficiency, and control. Automation saves IT teams valuable time, and AI-driven insights help identify and address security concerns before they impact the business. Network performance accelerates and becomes more reliable — supporting the always-on connectivity that employees, partners, and clients depend on, and giving IT the confidence to focus on strategic priorities rather than day-to-day troubleshooting.

Protect sensitive data

Traditional siloed security tools struggle to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated threats to enterprise data. As an integrated networking and security solution, Mist AI™ features a centralized policy framework, AI-native threat detection, SD-WAN, NextGeneration Firewall (NGFW), and Unified Zero Trust Network Access (UZTNA). By layering Zero Trust, identity and access management, and data protection, networks are better protected and able to keep critical operations running.

Simplify operations with Marvis AI

Marvis® AI Assistant, a layer of Mist AI, supports overburdened IT teams by automating routine tasks, accelerating troubleshooting, providing answers, recommending actions, and conducting analysis. As organizations reduce daily network management requirements, they can focus more on higher-value initiatives and lower operational costs.

A network ready for what’s next

For enterprise organizations, Mist AI becomes a foundation for more ambitious and innovative technology initiatives.
