EX Series Ethernet switches deliver access, aggregation, and core layer switching services in branch, campus, and data center networks to ensure fast, secure, reliable delivery of data and applications.
All EX Series Ethernet Switches address escalating demands for high availability, unified communications, mobility and virtualization within enterprise networks. The EX Series switches increase competitiveness and contribute to business success by delivering operational efficiency, business continuity, and network agility for end-to-end enterprise environments.
EX Series switches are part of Juniper's Simply Connected product portfolio, working with Juniper wireless, routing, and security products to create a standards-based network capable of supporting emerging demands for BYOD, mobility, video conferencing and Web services.
Juniper Virtual Chassis technology enables multiple interconnected EX Series switches to operate, and be managed as, a single, logical device, consolidating switch layers to reduce management overhead, while programmability delivers the flexibility required for networks to quickly respond to changing business needs.
In the modern virtualized data center, EX Series Ethernet switches flatten the network to help enterprises improve performance and increase operational efficiency, while programmability prepares enterprises for emerging SDN protocols that enable network automation and interoperability without the need for additional hardware.
Juniper's Virtual Chassis technology allows multiple interconnected EX Series switches to operate and be managed as a single, logical device, reducing operational expenses and eliminating the need for Spanning Tree Protocol.
All EX Series Ethernet Switches run the same Junos operating system as other Juniper switches, routers, and security solutions, ensuring consistent, predictable behavior across the entire network infrastructure.

Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches simultaneously advance the fundamentals and economics of networking:
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Carrier-class reliability for every application | EX Series Ethernet switches leverage the same field-proven Juniper technology — including high-performance ASICs, a carrier-class system architecture, and the Junos OS — that powers the world's largest service provider networks. |
| Security risk management with Unified Access Control | EX Series Ethernet switches tightly integrate with Juniper's Unified Access Control (UAC) solution, dynamically delivering network protection, guest access and identity-based QoS based on user, device, and location. |
| High-density platforms support wire-speed performance | EX Series Ethernet switches offer some of the industry’s highest line-rate 1GbE, 10GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE port densities, dramatically simplifying network topologies and operations. |
| Virtual Chassis technology for transparent interconnections | Virtual Chassis technology allows up to 10 EX Series switches to be interconnected and managed as a single, logical device, delivering the reliability, scalability, and manageability of traditional chassis-based systems in a cost-effective, compact platform. |
| Application control for increased manageability | The EX Series Ethernet switches support eight QoS queues per port, ensuring proper prioritization of control plane, voice, video, and multiple levels of data traffic — with room to converge other networks, such as building automation and video security systems. |
| Lower total cost of ownership | The innovations of the EX Series Ethernet switches enable new architectures that reduce cost and complexity. Unified management and automation tools consolidate system monitoring and maintenance and save time and money. |
