Your network is the backbone of your organization, storing and organizing your data and supporting the tools and assets your employees need to get the job done. The proliferation of devices, data, and people over the years
has made IT infrastructure more complex than ever, prompting businesses to look for innovative, cost-effective ways to manage their growing infrastructure. 


As such, many organizations are turning to networks and other IT infrastructure that leverage cutting-edge AI (
artificial intelligence) to keep everything humming along smoothly. 


The Benefits of AI Driven Infrastructure
 with Mist

the Mist cloud. This modern microservices cloud architecture allows you to smoothly scale up or down to meet your digital transformation needs without sacrificing operational simplicity. Mist offers a wide selection of subscription services that make it easy to implement a cloud or hybrid networking solution, regardless of company size or vertical. 


This model allows users to purchase one subscription service or mix and match multiple services to achieve the perfect blend of engagement, analytics, insights, connectivity, and troubleshooting. This innovative à la carte approach allows you to create a network that is 
perfectly tailored to meet your needs and empowers your team so they can stay focused on your core business.
