Simplify

Guided by a vision for the ultimate in simplification, Juniper Networks offers a dramatically streamlined "3-2-1" data center network architecture for a cloud-ready data center. The result? Better scale and performance, reduced complexity, improved operational efficiencies, and lower operational, capital, and environmental costs.

The Challenge

Server virtualization, storage and I/O convergence, and application architectures are taking off in the data center, and the demands on the network are greater than ever. Furthermore, complexity, cost, and risk, increase exponentially as businesses struggle to keep up with these requirements by adding more devices to the network. Applying the principles of cloud computing and fundamentally simplifying the network with a fabric can help enterprises overcome these obstacles.

The Solution

Juniper's "3-2-1" data center network architecture collapses multiple switching tiers, leading to a new simplified data center architecture design that requires fewer devices and interconnections. Security services are integrated into the fabric, dynamically uncovering blind spots in order to protect both virtual and physical resources. Advanced routing capabilities enhance application performance and agility.

The Benefits

Juniper Networks helps enterprises simplify their data center network architecture by collapsing it into two tiers with Virtual Chassis fabric technology, and finally, to one tier with QFabric. By leveraging a common operating system, an open network automation platform, and an industry-leading product and services portfolio, we help to reduce the total cost of ownership and provide performance, scale, and agility.
