Validation Framework

The key to the JVD program is extensive testing of best practice architectures. JVDs qualify and quantify these best practice architectures, allowing you to know exactly what you're buying and to spend your time deploying and managing your network instead of designing it.

JVDs employ a layered testing approach to deliver reliability and repeatability. Individual features receive functional testing. Multifunction testing builds on this functional testing to see if multiple features work together. Product delivery testing builds upon multifunctional testing to validate that these features combined perform as expected for tested use cases. JVD testing builds upon product delivery testing by testing multiple products together (including third-party integrations where appropriate) to ensure that all these products combined make an industry-leading solution.

Testing with real-world applications and traffic provides more accurate data regarding performance and response to different configurations. The standardized nature of JVDs ensures the same network architecture is deployed in multiple testing environments. Using JVDs by multiple customers allows for any lessons learned in production deployments to rapidly benefit all JVD customers. The more JVDs that are deployed worldwide, the greater the value they provide to all.

Test Bed

The test bed environment consists of a Collapsed Data Center Fabric with Juniper Apstra JVD with two ESXi servers (labeled “ESX1-102” and "ESXi-103" in the diagram below) connected to the collapsed fabric switches (labeled “DC3-Collapsed-Spine1 and DC3-Collapsed-Spine2 in the diagram below). An external router is connected to the collapsed fabric switches as well. A traffic generator is connected to the test ports on the external router, the collapsed fabric switches, and the ESXi servers.
