The hardware management system is easy to deploy and provides full high availability (HA) and scalability support. Enterprise customers with limited resources can benefit from the appliance by eliminating dedicated resources for maintaining a network and security management solution. Service providers can use the Juniper Network service provisioning software to simplify the management of their enterprise customers’ VPNs and provide services.
The appliance makes it easy to manage networks of multiple families of Juniper Networks devices. The following Juniper routers are supported:
- Customer Premise Equipment (CPE)-based routers—J Series routers
- Service provider edge (PE) routers—MX Series and M Series routers
- Service provider core (P) routers—T Series routers
User access to the appliance is through a thin Web 2.0 UI client, (the client software acts as an interface, while the network server does all the real work), which allows up to 50 administrators to log into Junos Space concurrently. Additionally, Junos Space allows concurrent access for up to 50 clients through its API. Through one Junos Space appliance, UI clients and API clients can manage networks with up to 15,000 devices, with up to a maximum of 14,400 branch or CPE devices, 500 PE devices, and 100 P devices.
You can combine Junos Space appliances in clusters for high availability or increased throughput.
You can create a fabric of Junos Space appliances, Junos Space virtual appliances, or a combination of both appliances and virtual appliances.
