Junosphere is a virtual environment that enables the creation and operation of elements and networks using the Juniper Networks Junos operating system. Junosphere is based on Juniper Networks VJX Series, a new family of virtual routers which run the same Junos OS as Juniper's networking and security devices.
Offered in the form of software-based services, Junosphere enables customers, partners, and educational institutions to easily experiment, model, and educate by leveraging the flexibility, cost efficiency, and simplicity of a cloud-based delivery model.
Junosphere Lab enables you to create and run exact replicas of physical networks within the virtual environment. Users can model, test and experiment with new features, topologies or services with no risk and dramatically reduced costs.
Junosphere Classroom enables you to cost effectively educate students, employees, or partners on the principles and operation of Junos OS, routing protocols, and networking, without the expense of building, maintaining or operating a physical lab.
VJX Series
Junosphere offers you access to virtual machines running the same Junos operating system deployed on Juniper's physical routing devices. The first of these virtual machines are the VJX Series, a new family of Junos OS-based virtual routers that run only within the Junosphere environment, and form the foundation of the Classroom service. The VJX Series delivers the software functionality of Juniper routers including command-line interfaces (CLIs), control plane behavior, protocol operation, and most forwarding functions.
Junosphere Connector
Junosphere Connector is an optional capability that allows the virtual networking resources of Junosphere to interoperate directly with physical network elements. Junosphere Connector allows Junosphere to provide a complimentary and efficient virtual extension of an existing physical lab, allowing customers to create large scale networks that enable interoperability, scalability and convergence testing at realistic scale. The ability to connect multiple physical and virtual topologies is a powerful tool for modeling carrier class networks and assessing the impact of topology changes, upgrade and downgrade procedures, or new network and service build outs.
Junos Space
Junos Space network automation applications can be used within the Junosphere environment to provision, monitor, and configure the VJX Series within the virtual network you create. By providing trainees with access to Junos Space, Junosphere exposes them to next generation network orchestration tools.
