Introduction
The virtual MX Series router (vMX) is an MX Series router optimized to run on x86 servers. We recommend Ubuntu as the host OS.
vMX supports most of the features available on MX Series routers and allows you to leverage Junos OS Release 15.1 to provide quick and flexible deployment. vMX provides the following benefits:
Optimizes carrier-grade routing for the x86 environment
Simplifies operations by consistency with MX Series routers
Introduces new services without reconfiguration of current infrastructure
