Marvis AI, including Marvis Actions, uses telemetry from HPE devices and apps to provide actionable insights and automated remediation workflows.
The goal is enhanced visibility, automated NetOps and SecOps, and self-driving operations from edge to cloud.
The integration supports self-driving networking by enabling AI-driven NetOps and SecOps across edge to cloud.
The aim is to extend self-driving networking from edge to cloud by improving visibility, NetOps, and SecOps across distributed enterprise environments.
