Setting up a Junos Space Appliance for Network Director

You can install Network Director in one of the following appliances:

JA2500 Junos Space Hardware Appliance

The JA2500 appliance is a dedicated hardware device that provides the computing power and specific requirements to run Network Director and the Network Director API as applications.

Junos Space Virtual Appliance

The Junos Space Virtual Appliance consists of preconfigured Junos Space Network Management Platform software with a built-in operating system and application stack that is easy to deploy, manage, and maintain. A Junos Space Virtual Appliance includes the same software and provides all the functionality available in a Junos Space physical appliance. However, you must deploy the virtual appliance on the VMware ESX or ESXi server, or Kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) which provides a CPU, hard disk, RAM, and a network controller, but requires installation of an operating system and applications to become fully functional.
