Juniper Networks offers a dramatically streamlined "3-2-1" data center network architecture for a cloud-ready data center that is guided by a vision for the ultimate in simplification. The results are better scale and performance, reduced complexity, increased efficiencies, and lower operating, capital, and environmental costs.
QFabric Architecture Demo Data Center to Cloud Demo
Service providers rely on high-performance, reliable applications running in data centers throughout their infrastructures to deploy rich, interactive services. With the advent of cloud services, these data centers have become increasingly crucial parts of the operator's service delivery platforms, whether in mobile, fixed, or Internet-based applications.
Interconnecting a growing number of virtual and physical devices as well as linking multiple data centers and the WAN can be a daunting task because complexity and cost increase exponentially as more devices are added and more locations are linked. Addressing the principles of cloud computing with a network fabric can help service providers overcome these obstacles.
Juniper Networks helps service providers simplify their data center network with fabric-based switching in a number of different configurations, and industry-leading product portfolio, and solution modules to reduce the total cost of ownership and provide great agility in operations.
With Juniper's "3-2-1" data center network architecture, multiple switching tiers are collapsed, leading to a new, simplified design that requires fewer devices and interconnections. Security services are integrated into the fabric, dynamically uncovering blind spots to protect both virtual and physical resources, while advanced routing capabilities enhance application performance and agility.
All of these functions leverage the Junos operating system with an open network automation platform, making it easier to manage and administer the data center network, accelerating application deployments, and increasing efficiencies in space, power, cooling, and management.
