According to a recent Global Market Insights report (Please paste into your

https://www.gminsights.com/industry-analysis/intent-based-networking-ibn-market#%3A~%3Atext=Intent%2Dbased%20Networking%20(IBN%29%20Market%20size%20exceeded%20USD%20900%2Cshortening%20network%20infrastructure%20deployment%20time 
 ), Intent-based Networking market growth exceeded $900 million in 2019 and is 
estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 30% between 2020 and 2026. The accelerated 
adoption of IBN solutions comes at a time when data centers must meet the 
compressed timelines of the business while delivering operational simplicity 
that meets or exceeds the cloud, but with reliability. Deploying an IBN 
solution is critical for enterprises doubling down on digital transformation 
efforts, which require data center network agility, increased availability, and 
improved ROI. Businesses are three times more likely to fail in their digital 
transformation efforts if they don't transform their networks first.

"The monitoring and managing of Data Center operations continue to grow 
progressively more complex and increasingly mission-critical as enterprises 
accelerate their digital transformation," said Mansour Karam, Founder and 
President of Apstra. "IBN is the solution that many network architects and 
operators are counting on to help their organizations keep up. As the rise of 
IBN comes into focus, extending our unique and advanced IBN capabilities to 
Juniper Networks, paired with the operational enhancements, allows us to 
deliver our industry-leading solution across a wider variety of hardware 
choices."

Apstra's AOS is a critical piece of the puzzle in driving toward closed-loop 
automation and validation. The unique technology addresses the sheer network 
complexity facing architects and operators by applying day 0 validation and 
analytics while leveraging a single network source of truth. Apstra empowers 
organizations to realize the significant efficiencies and benefits of Day 0 
operations resulting from IBN. 

"The extreme demands of Switzerland's renowned financial services industry 
needs an infrastructure that guarantees the lowest latency and response times 
with high-cost efficiency and high levels of reliability," explains Hanspeter 
Tinner, Chief Service Officer and co-founder of Beelastic. "This is only 
possible if the latest technologies are used throughout. Apstra's end-to-end 
automation and simple operational model helps us deliver the lowest response 
times with the highest cost efficiency and reliability. And with their rapid 
feature velocity, we are confident they'll continue delivering on our and our 
customers' requirements in the future."

Apstra AOS empowers organizations to automate all aspects of the network 
design, build, deploy, and operate phases. The leading IBN solution leverages 
advanced intent-based analytics to continuously validate the network, thereby 
eliminating complexity, vulnerabilities, and outages resulting in a secure and 
resilient network. To learn more about transforming your enterprise with
