The modern data center
has many virtualized elements and spreads across multiple geographies and cloud
environments. Building and managing this environment – while keeping costs down
– is incredibly complex and calls for a secure, simple and open data center
architecture that will continue to meet evolving needs. Juniper’s Unite Cloud addresses this
challenge by providing enterprises the required building blocks to manage
public, private, hybrid and multi-cloud environments, scale with evolving
business needs and support the deployment of new applications, services and
technologies.

The Unite Cloud
solutions unveiled today complement the previously announced Unite Campus and
Unite Cloud-Enabled Branch solutions to further broaden the Unite architecture,
the industry’s most comprehensive architecture to help customers build and
manage complex enterprise environments. Announced
in 2015, Juniper Unite, an architecture for
the entire enterprise including data center, campus and branch with coherent
management, allows organizations to design and build
network infrastructures that meet their specific needs.

Highlights:
- Advanced Automation for
Simplified Management: Network
Director 3.0, the latest version of Juniper’s data center
management tool, provides advanced automation for simple management,
allowing networks to scale securely with analytics that enable an enhanced
experience to visualize, analyze and control the network. Features
include: - Ability to configure and visualize
multiple data centers through a single pane of glass, relieving network
administrators from performing manual provisioning and configuration. - Controller-less network
virtualization to automate the building and management for overlay
fabrics on top of layer 3 fabrics, utilizing Ethernet VPN (EVPN) control
plane and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) overlay. - Support for Junos
Fusion, which enables the management
of multiple distributed devices as one device and reduces operational
complexity. - Automatic detection and push
of network configurations to ports.
- New Scalable Building Blocks
for Next-Generation Data Centers: The
new QFX5110 data center switch is designed to be scalable and agile enough
to handle high-bandwidth applications, including server virtualization and
simple leaf and spine topologies to web scale fabric architectures. This
allows customers to increase traffic speeds for their business without
complete rip and replace of their network infrastructure. Features
include: - Support for 10/40GbE access
speeds and four 100G uplinks to enable leaf to spine deployment models to
manage growing traffic demands. - Inline tunnel routing feature
creates more efficient internet protocol forwarding. - Support for virtual machines,
containers and a platform for third-party applications.
- Professional Services for
Streamlined Deployment: With
Contrail as a leading solution for service orchestration within cloud
environments, Juniper Networks has added Contrail JumpStart services to
assist customers with the deployment of the Contrail
Cloud Platform or Contrail
Networking software in
their data centers. The new offerings provide a proven, cost efficient,
pre-tested approach to successfully deploying Juniper’s software-defined
networking (SDN) solution, providing customers with an open, automated
pathway to the cloud. JumpStart services consist of three main phases:
implementation, knowledge transfer and post installation support.

“The Meta-Cloud, or
multi-cloud, where enterprises use many different cloud service providers (CSP)
is a significant trend and represents a complement to hybrid cloud
architectures. Meta-Clouds and hybrid clouds demand a network capable of
spanning multiple DC sites with proper management. In a recent IHS Markit
report*, respondents indicated they expected to be using on average eight
different CSPs by 2018, which will drive the need for solutions making it easy
to create, automate and manage hybrid and meta-cloud environments while
reducing costs.”
