Simplify

Interconnecting a growing number of virtual and physical devices while trying to manage these resources can be a daunting task. Complexity and cost increase exponentially as more devices are added. But applying the principles of cloud computing can help public sector organizations overcome these obstacles.

A successful and scalable cloud-ready data center network must do three things:

• simplify
• share
• secure

Juniper Networks' helps public sector organizations simplify their cloud-ready data center with innovations, an industry-leading product portfolio, and solution modules to reduce the total cost of ownership and provide agility.

Multiple switching tiers are collapsed, leading to a new simplified design that requires fewer devices and interconnections. "Security sprawl" is consolidated into fewer highly scalable virtualized security services platforms. Advanced routing capabilities enhance application performance and agility. All of these functions leverage a common operating system with a single management system, accelerating application deployments and increasing efficiencies in space, power, cooling, and management.

Solution Components

Switching

• EX Series Ethernet Switches: Deliver unmatched scale and performance for L2 and L3 data center networks. The high-density, high-performance EX8208 and EX8216 modular switches support data center and cloud computing environments, while Virtual Chassis technology enables up to 10 interconnected EX4200 switches to operate as a single device, reducing management overhead.

Routing

• M Series Multiservice Edge Routers: Combine best-in-class integrated virtualization and traffic management with unmatched reliability, stability, security, and service richness to connect the cloud-ready data center to the WAN.
• MX Series Ethernet Services Routers: Provide Ethernet switching capabilities coupled with carrier-class routing features to support advanced virtualization of network infrastructures and traffic management between the data center and the WAN.

Security

• SRX Series Services Gateways: Combines routing, switching, application services, and user- and application-aware security within a single device.

Network Operating System

• Junos® Software: Integrates routing, switching, and security services, and offers the power of one operating system to reduce complexity, achieve operational excellence, and deliver dynamic services with lower TCO.

• Network and Security Manager (NSM): Provides a single pane of management for the entire network infrastructure, including routing, switching, and security devices.
• STRM Series Security Threat Response Managers: Collect events and alerts from different Juniper and third-party products and aggregate them in order to provide an organization-wide threat management view.

Services

• J-Care Technical Services: J-Care Essential Services ensure rapid response from Juniper engineers and offer hardware replacement options so you can choose the timing and resources right for your network.
