“Juniper’s Centralized Management System added a very intuitive interface for deployment, configuration, and management, which helped decrease implementation time and costs.”

Chris Laney
Account Manager, Accudata

"As we looked to grow our data centers, we recognized the need for a scalable data center network architecture that could help us maximize growth and deliver consistent high quality service our customers have come to expect. With Juniper's Data Center Infrastructure Solutions, which incorporate high-performance routing, switching and security technologies all based on JUNOS, we were able expand the capabilities of our data centers and at the same time benefit from a 2-tier collapsed architecture which requires less data center resources. We were able to increase our capabilities and simplify operational management, while only increasing our data center utilization by 5% percent and realize energy savings of 90% over competing solutions."

“Juniper Networks routers are so much simpler than our previous routers. Juniper put a lot of thought into the management of the J-series routers and its Junos OS. We’ve saved huge amounts of time in configuration and deployment.”

Jeff Stephens
Network Engineering Manager, Blood Systems

“We were able to pay for Juniper Networks within six months.”

“Juniper Networks was easy to deploy, we configured the WX platforms in five minutes and saw the amount of traffic in the test environment decrease in seconds, without impacting network performance.”

“Deploying Juniper Networks helped us reduce network costs and gave us the ability to prioritize traffic.”

“We made great gains in bandwidth.”

“The results were immediate and dramatic, a typical 1 MB file, which previously took more than a minute to transfer over the WAN, now takes less than 15 seconds thanks to AppFlow.”

“Deploying Juniper Networks helped us reduce network costs and gave us the ability to prioritize traffic,” says Cox. “If you have multiple applications traveling the same wire, someone surfing the Internet can kill the SAP traffic. Juniper Networks is a perfect solution for prioritizing network traffic. It does what it’s supposed to do.”

Martin Cox
Technical Services Manager Planning and Development, BOC Edwards

“When our CIO heard about Juniper Networks, we doubted their claims. The WX 50 installed in minutes, required no network changes, and quite honestly was a transparent ‘plug and play’ component within our existing network. The WX 50’s data reduction helped shave WAN response times during peak periods from over 100 milliseconds towards the normal idle condition of 60 milliseconds. With less than a one year ROI, the decision was simple – the entire evaluation and purchase decision timeframe was only four weeks.”

Director of Telecommunications, Butler Manufacturing

“The direction of the industry is similar to what happened with computing in the 1960sand 70s,” says St. Arnaud. “Computing was sold as a service, but customers eventuallyfound that owning smaller computers was more cost efficient.” St. Arnaud believes thetelecommunications industry is heading the same way, where customers own theinfrastructure and carriers provide the critical role of value added services. “And that’swhere Juniper Networks adds big value,” says St.Arnaud. “The high performance packetprocessing engine in its routers is the best solution for allowing service providers todeliver those value added services.”

Bill St. Arnaud
Senior Director Advanced Networks, CANARIE Inc.

"To keep pace with and manage our growth, we're increasing our delivery of online course materials to support continuous learning, augmenting our learning management solutions, and plan to deploy voice-over-IP next year. Our selection of Juniper Networks to replace our existing network infrastructure was driven by Juniper's ability to improve network performance, improve reliability and decrease maintenance costs in line with our continued expansion."

Dr. Christine Stinson
Chief Information Officer, Ferrum College

"We previously used an IPSec VPN and RTC access, but this approach required the installation and maintenance of client software on each workstation accessing the network, even if it belonged to a third party. The mounting costs and management complexity exceeded our budget and IT resources. Juniper uniquely met our price, performance and functionality requirements with its Secure Access SSL VPN solution. The solution streamlines the whole process for providing remote access and significantly improved the productivity for us and our users. It is very straightforward to add new users to the system on an ad hoc basis, even when we don't own the user's endpoint device."

"The Virtual Chassis feature was a major enabler. By allowing our optical links to be used concurrently, the Juniper approach simplifies administration while it also provides higher throughput and reliability. Redundancy is built into the architecture, and none of our optical links need be idle. The EX-series brings a resilient solution that optimizes use of our existing resources, with simplified management and excellent economics."

Chris Tubridy
IT manager, Pittwater Council

“Juniper’s professional services engineer pointed out that configuring the EX 4200 series switches in a virtual chassis would save us on expensive 10-Gigabit Ethernet on the MX960 router. That way, we could have a redundant 10-Gigabit Ethernet connection between the logical virtual chassis and the MX rather than simple point-to-point 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections to each of the EX 4200 switches at the top of the rack. We really appreciated that advice.” In essence, virtual chassis technology reduces the number of 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections required.
