JUNOS High Availability

Juniper AIS

The creation of Juniper Advanced Insight Solutions (AIS) has made Juniper Networks a partner in maintaining continuous systems by providing in-depth support for the Juniper Networks products. AIS, which is built on top of the JUNOScript ability in JUNOS software, allows Juniper to automatically detect events and gather network intelligence information, manage incidents, and provide information to Juniper Support Systems (JSS) to facilitate efficient resolution of incidents, and provide intelligence to prevent future incidents.

Overview

Juniper AIS is made up of three main components that work together to provide proactive and reactive support for your network and allow you to maintain high availability for critical components.

At the heart of AIS are the Advanced Insight Scripts, which are a collection of ops scripts used to detect, collect, and gather incident information and network intelligence. All the information gathered in the scripts is converted into Juniper Message Bundles (JMBs) and sent to archive sites, which can be forwarded to the JTAC so that they can quickly and efficiently correct incidents that cause network downtime and identify situations that could lead to network downtime in the future.

The Advanced Insight Manager (AIM), which installs on Solaris/Linux systems, provides a secure conduit between the locally based archives containing information and the intelligence provided by the Advanced Insight Scripts and JSS. Working as a central hub, the AIM ...
