Juniper intros big data analytics solution

BANGALORE, INDIA: Networking company Juniper Networks unveiled Junos Network Analytics suite, a family of big data analytics and network intelligence solutions that now includes BizReflex and NetReflex products.

BizReflex and NetReflex were developed with Guavus, a provider of big data analytics solutions leveraging 'analyze first' architecture that delivers insights from IP and multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) network traffic patterns to understand network behaviour.

Robert Krohn, senior vice president, Edge Software Business Unit, Juniper Networks, said: "Junos Network Analytics harnesses the power of big data to bring near real-time information to service providers that will scale to their needs and provide a complete business insight solution for IP and MPLS networks."

The first two products in the Junos Network Analytics suite combine an analytics engine with visual dashboards that present network insights as customizable graphics, statistics and drill-downs, as per a release.

The Junos Network Analytics suite includes the following:

BizReflex: A network analytics engine and dashboard. This tool extracts and analyzes information from edge and core routers.

NetReflex: Provides network architects and operations personnel with detailed traffic trends and analysis for IP and MPLS networks.

Junos Network Analytics extracts network flow data and routing tables from Juniper Networks routing platforms or other third-party vendor routing platforms, and leverages an engine and dashboard to provide 'business intelligence' for communications service providers. Junos Network Analytics SKUs are available now and subscription-based pricing will be on Juniper's price list in June 2013.
