Juniper Networks intros Power of One

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Juniper Networks announced the Intelligent Services Edge, a portfolio of new hardware and software features that address business challenges for customers building and expanding high-performance networks.

Leveraging the architectural integrity of Junos software and Juniper’s M and MX-series platforms, the Intelligent Services Edge will enable providers to deliver services over a single operating system with maximum scale.

The advancements facilitate intelligent convergence at the edge, which drives network monetization by speeding deployment of new services, and reducing operational costs and complexity.

Junos software delivers Power of One: One software release train, one modular architecture and one operating system across multiple routing, switching and security platforms.

“The dynamic evolution of interactive and multimedia web applications is driving further broadband deployments, both in fixed networks as well as mobile,” said Ed Chang, Head—IP Connectivity Business Line, Nokia Siemens Networks. “As a leading global enabler of communications services, we are confident that Juniper’s Intelligence Service Edge portfolio will enable our service provider customers to deliver new, exciting and profitable services to consumers with reduced operational expenditure,” he added.

To ensure investment protection of its edge routing portfolio and provide the performance and scale necessary to support advanced applications, as part of the Intelligent Services Edge Juniper is also delivering a range of new hardware for its M and MX-series portfolio. The new hardware improves the performance, scalability and efficiency of these widely deployed systems, and can be added non-disruptively to existing systems.

For the MX-series Ethernet Services Routers, Juniper is introducing the MultiServices DPC, an engine that will enable customers to run the new Junos services without impacting the routers’ forwarding performance.

The Intelligent Services Edge is available for purchase individually, the first of which are currently available. The full suite of Intelligent Services Edge hardware and software enhancements is expected to be available by Q309.
