According to IHS Markit,
the global market for Cloud Services for IT Infrastructure and Applications is
expected to grow 23% from 2016 to 2020, reaching $286B in revenue[1]. As new cloud business models emerge to
capitalize on this growth, network operators face significant challenges in
scaling network capacity, optimizing network resources and simplifying
operations. Compounding these challenges are proprietary, single-layer vendor
products that impede an operator’s ability to adapt to the speed of cloud-based
business. Juniper’s Open Cloud Interconnect solution is designed to assist data
center operators to overcome these challenges with proven, versatile
solutions, leveraging innovations from the IP to the photonic layer, in order
to enable open, scalable, secure and operationally simple DCI networks.

News Highlights:
- Increased Scale for
Next-generation Data Centers and Telco Clouds: New coherent DWDM line cards for the QFX10000 and BTI7800 deliver superior levels of capacity and reach
within a small physical footprint. Features include: - QFX10000 Coherent DWDM Line
Card integrates 1.2 Terabits per second (Tbps) of optical capacity with 6
ports of up to 200 Gigabits per second (Gbps) each. With the Coherent
DWDM Line Card, QFX10000 customers can combine DCI-optimized Ethernet VPN
(EVPN), VXLAN and MacSec security with highly scalable, low-power
coherent DWDM. - The UFM6 line card for the BTI
7800 series is a new muxponder/transponder solution combining 10
configurable 10GE/100GE client ports and 2 coherent DWDM ports of up to
200 Gbps each. The UFM6 also supports SD-FEC for increased performance
across metro, regional and long-haul spans up to 2000 km and is fully
interoperable with Juniper and third-party coherent DWDM linecards. - Integrated Management: Providing maximum network visibility and control
through open APIs, Juniper has extended the capabilities of its proNX Service
Manager software to now manage
coherent optical interfaces across Juniper’s MX and PTX Series Routers,
QFX Series Switches and the BTI Series packet optical portfolio. Enhanced
levels of network visibility and multi-layer control are now available
through YANG-based integration of proNX Service Manager and Juniper
Networks NorthStar Controller. - Professional Services: With deep technical knowledge and expertise in network
design, implementation and support, Juniper offers a wide range of consulting and
training servicestailored specifically for the planning, implementation
and operation of the Open Cloud Interconnect solution. - Availability: The
UFM6 line card and updated proNX Service Manager software are available
now; the Coherent DWDM line card for the QFX10000 is expected to be
available in Q2.
Juniper Networks will be
showcasing these new solutions in Booth #3637 at the OFC Exhibition and
Conference, taking place March 21 – 23, 2017 in Los Angeles, CA.
