Feature	Feature Description	Benefits
Purpose-Built Routing Engine Chassis	The JCS1200 Network Control System accommodates up to 12 REs and flexibly associates these with designated Forwarding Plane resources in one or more T Series chassis.	All high-performance slots on the connected T Series routers are preserved for interfaces, assuring investment protection and maximizing interface density.
Hardware-Based Router Virtualization	Each PSD consists of a single or redundant REs and designated forwarding plane resources, and is completely isolated from the other PSDs. The result is the equivalent functionality of a standalone router without the expense.	Different administrative groups can manage their own PSDs (including restarting, upgrading, and maintaining their own software version) without interfering with other PSDs.
Control Plane Extension to T Series	The JCS1200 Network Control System connects to existing T Series models T320, T640, T1600.	Investments in existing T Series hardware are protected.
High-Availability Hardware	Component-level redundancy is available for REs, switches, management modules, power supplies, and cooling.	High availability and continuous operation is critical in a consolidated routing platform. There is no single point of failure in the JCS1200 Network Control System.
High-Availability Software	Non Stop Routing (NSR) provides the foundation for seamless system upgrade, as well as Junoscript commit script capabilities, mean continuous operation under maintenance conditions, and topological changes.	High-availability requirements in core networks include the elimination of planned downtime.
Solid, Modular, Feature-Rich Software	Each Junos software release runs consistently across all Juniper Networks routing platforms and feature sets. Junos was conceived and implemented as a modular design. Advanced features include point to multipoint MPLS, MPLS VPN, IPv6 PE, and many more unique features in core routers.	Each Junos process runs in protected memory to guard against system crashes and to ensure that applications do not interfere with each other. Junos itself provides the greatest array of features and the most stable network operating system in the industry.
Wide Range of Interfaces	A full range of T Series interfaces, from DS3 to OC-768, is available. Juniper provides a variety of interfaces among core routing platforms (both optical and copper) that are unique in the market.	This combination of previously disparate network elements offers greater network simplicity and retains the service-building advantages of the overlay networks that are replaced by the converged network.
Logical Routing Capability	Juniper's state-of-the-art logical routing support is the only one of its kind with shared uplink support.	Each JCS1200 PSD can support up to 16 logical routers, providing tremendous service scaling potential in a single consolidated system.
