Business Challenge
To keep up with growth and support the next wave of services for customers, Internap needed to revitalize its network and lower operational overhead. The company needed a next-generation routing platform that would meet its stringent requirements and enable it to offer new revenue-generating services while lowering the cost of delivering current services.
Technology Solution
Internap deployed Juniper routing and switching solutions for its next-generation downstream edge network. Internap’s network follows a hub-and-spoke architecture, with the SDN-ready MX960 3D Universal Edge Router as the hub and EX4200 and EX4550 Ethernet Switches as the spokes. Internap is also evaluating the QFX5100 switch as a path to migrate to Junos Fusion technology in the near future.
Business Results
With its Juniper infrastructure, Internap can bring new and incremental services to market faster, and at a lower price point. It can evaluate customer requests for 40/100 GB services, VPLS and EVPN, transit and transport on the same wire, virtual CPE services, and more. Internap is also embracing SDN and automation to gain operational efficiencies.
