Juniper unveils new solutions

BANGALORE, INDIA: Juniper Networks today unveiled a new software, silicon, systems and partnerships designed to propel the 'new network' for enterprise and service provider customers. The new capabilities combine breakthrough technology with smart partnerships to help customers immediately reinvent the experience and economics of networking, while fostering a broad ecosystem of innovation across the network, the company said in press release.

New Junos software is an open cross-network software platform that allows customers to directly program multiple layers of their networks for rich user experiences, smart economics and fast time to market. The new software platform includes the popular Junos network operating system, the new Junos Space network application platform and new Junos Pulse integrated network client - all built with the same core design principles, integration approach and development discipline.

Newly launched Junos-based silicon and systems form a new Junos One family of processors, including the Junos Trio chipset with revolutionary 3D Scaling technology. 3D Scaling enables networks to dynamically support more subscribers, services and bandwidth - all at the same time. Junos Trio will be delivered in new modular line cards and new 3.5-inch routers for Juniper MX Series, providing two to four times faster throughput than the competition - up to 2.6 terabits per second – while using half as much power per gigabit. The MX 3D products will offer the industry’s first 'universal edge' with 3D Scaling for delivery of business, residential and mobile services at massive scale on a single network.

Juniper's new cloud networking and security solutions based on the Junos software platform and Juniper systems are built upon Juniper’s simplified data center network architecture to help customers share and secure their infrastructures while delivering and accessing cloud-based services.

Juniper also announced new go-to-market partnerships with Dell and IBM to deliver Juniper systems as part of their cloud-ready data center solutions. Juniper also announced its first-ever Junos software licensing partnership with Blade Network Technologies, which will develop future blade switches based on the Junos operating system.

Juniper also announced several partners who have built or are building applications based on Junos software, including Active Broadband Networks, Ankeena Networks, Harris Stratex, Packet Design, Q1 Labs, Telchemy, Telecom Italia and Triveni Digital, the release said.

“Networks are now clearly the hub of business and community around the world, and that’s driving massive scale requirements for the next decade,” said Kevin Johnson, Juniper’s chief executive officer. “Today is an historic day for Juniper, as we stand tall with our partners and customers to jumpstart the new network,” he added.
