The Challenge

The cloud-ready data center requires network resources to be shared across different user groups at scale, while still maintaining granular policies that control security and performance. That means the network needs to support resources that are allocated, expanded, and re-allocated efficiently — at scale.

The Solution

The Juniper Networks approach to sharing the network revolves around aligning capacities, bandwidth, priorities, and availability goals, with application requirements by using technologies based on standards and simplified network architectures. For example, Virtual Chassis technology, allows multiple devices to be interconnected and behave as a single device.

That gives customers unmatched scale and agility across all of the routing, switching, and security platforms, in processing ACLs, or "policy filters" that forward traffic according to rules designed for 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 MPLS network virtualization and VPLS technologies, VPNs can be used to extend those zones, and VLANs can be stretched across data centers or pods for more flexible shared links to the cloud.

The Benefits

Juniper's data center architecture delivers the agility and scaling required by virtualizing 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. Leveraging the Junos operating system with an open network automation platform and a rich set of support services helps to minimize risk and speed time to deployment for an agile, secure cloud-ready data center network.
