ServiceNow cuts network incidents 90% with HPE Mist AI

ServiceNow’s network team used to spend 2,000 to 3,000 hours a year patching the network. Now it’s fewer than 60. After moving its network operations to Juniper Networks Mist AI, now part of HPE ServiceNow cut incident volume 90%, and the network team didn’t grow even as the company did.

Coming up: a 100% autonomous network by 2028. ServiceNow’s Sajeev Nair says the way to get there is to hand control to the AI a step at a time.

My latest on Fierce Network from Nair’s fireside chat with HPE’s Rami Rahim at HPE’s Networking Investor Day.

I’m trying to decide if I can throw a mention of Y2K into a report without explaining it. Millennials were in their teens during the remediation and Gen Z were in preschool.

Apple Intelligence is better than Siri used to be, but it is now more annoying, because “almost good” is more annoying than “bad.”

Light rain started as soon as I left the house to walk the dog this morning. Because rain was not in the forecast I was not wearing rain gear and assumed the waterworks would stop momentarily. Instead, the rain turned heavy and after the dog and I were thoroughly soaked, I cut the walk short and returned home. At which point the rain immediately stopped. Is this how my day is going to go?
