Enterprise: Share

The cloud-ready data centre requires network resources to be allocated, expanded, and re-allocated efficiently at scale. Juniper's uniquely architected platforms deliver the agility and scaling required by virtualising network configurations, segmenting services into logical domains, and using industry-leading hardware designs to scale without complexity. With a large pool of resources to draw on, customers can efficiently partition those resources to meet service requirements and remain elastic while ensuring performance, security, and controls.

Juniper Networks' approach to sharing the network revolves around aligning capacities, bandwidth, priorities, and availability goals with application requirements using technologies based on standards and simplified policies.

Virtual Chassis technology, integrated into the EX4200 line of switches, allows multiple devices to be interconnected and behave as a single device. In each of our routing and switching lines, customers have unmatched scale and agility in processing ACLs, or "policy filters" that forward traffic according to rules for the designated types at line rate and at all packet sizes.

Juniper's security services and policies nest VLANs within logical zones for security segmentation. With our carrier-grade, scalable MPLS and VPLS technologies, VPNs can be used to extend zones, and VLANs can be stretched across data centres or pods for more flexible shared links to the cloud.

Simplified provisioning and implementation guides provided by Juniper also help to minimize risk and speed time to deployment for an agile, secure cloud-ready data centre network.

Solution Components

Switching

• EX Series Ethernet Switches: Using our Virtual Chassis fabric technology, multiple EX4200 Ethernet switches can be interconnected to create a single logical device with scalable VLAN support, reducing the total number of devices to manage in a virtualized.

Routing

• M Series Multiservice Edge Routers Combine best-in-class IP/MPLS capabilities with unmatched reliability, stability, security, and service richness.
• MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers: Provide Ethernet switching and best-in-class VPLS/MPLS capabilities with carrier-class routing features.
• BX Series Multi-Access Gateway: Allows cloud services to be delivered to mobile PDA devices, while preparing the way for future migration to 4G technologies.

VPN Platforms

• SRX Series Services Gateways: Combine routing, switching, application services, and user- and application-aware security within a modular, expandable chassis to deliver unprecedented performance and flexibility while reducing management overhead.
• SA Series SSL VPN Appliances: Deliver scalable, simplified, and secure remote access to data centre resources from multiple remote networks and platforms.

Junos Platform

• Junos Pulse: A dynamic, standards-based multiservice network client that drastically simplifies user experiences by delivering integrated connectivity, access, application acceleration, and security.
• Junos Space: Provides applications for network infrastructure automation including:
  • Junos Space Ethernet Design — Helps deploy an entire network just as easily as a single switch.
  • Junos Space Network Activate — Allows for full lifecycle management of MPLS services, and quick and easy set-up of VPLS services.
  • Junos Space Route Insight — Enables rapid planning, troubleshooting, and change simulation for L3 services.
  • Junos Space Service Now — Automates diagnostics to speed problem resolution.
  • Junos Space Service Insight — Delivers proactive, actionable network insight to manage risk and improve application reliability.
  • Junos Space Security Design — Enables bulk configuration and provisioning of complex security policies.
  • Junos Space Virtual Control — Allows you to monitor, manage, and control networks running within virtualized servers in the data centre, so you can control both virtual and physical networks from a single management screen.

Network Operating System

• Junos® OS: Integrates routing, switching, and security services to reduce complexity, achieve operational excellence, and deliver dynamic services with lower TCO.

Network Management

• 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 enterprise-wide threat management view.

Technical Services

• Juniper Care: A family of support services built on the service automation features of Junos Space Service Now and Junos Space Service Insight application. Juniper Care improves business application reliability by ensuring the network is performing optimally. Time-consuming and complex support-management activities are automated, improving up-time and time-to-resolution (TTR) with service automation capability. Juniper Care relies on the Junos Space platform delivered by Service Now for reactive event management, and the Junos Space Service Insight application for adaptive and proactive management. Juniper Care also delivers direct and personalized assistance including design, maintenance, and support escalation.
