SINGAPORE, June
21, 2017 – Juniper
Networks (NYSE: JNPR), an industry leader in automated, scalable and secure networks,
today announced new innovations that will give service providers and
enterprises a radically simplified way to build cloud networks capable of
deploying services faster. Juniper’s new Cloud-Grade Networking introduces a new set of principles for the
way applications and services are architected, delivered and secured. This
approach merges telemetry, automation and machine learning capabilities to ease
the IT challenges of cloud transformation.

approach merges telemetry, automation and machine learning capabilities to ease
the IT challenges of cloud transformation.
The ongoing digitization
across industries and the rise of personalized cloud services has created both
massive opportunities and challenges. Network traffic continues to grow
exponentially while complexities increase in the storage, networking and
compute layers. In parallel, companies face an uphill battle keeping up in a
cost-effective and simplified way with end-user demand for new applications and
services. If left unaddressed, these realities will prove unsustainable from a
capability and cost standpoint.

Juniper’s Cloud-Grade
Networking comprises four principles: a platform-first approach,
disaggregation, a Self-Driving Network™, and pervasive software-defined security. These tenets bring cloud agility and scale to
network operators everywhere, accelerating innovation and streamlining
operations. Through new orchestration and automation capabilities,
this approach marries carrier-grade
reach and reliability with enterprise-grade control and usability to deliver traditional and personalized
services, while reducing costs and complexity in a secure manner.

The new Junos Node Slicing service model, part of Juniper’s
platform-first approach to networking, enables operators to run multiple
services or instances on the same router, each of which has a separate
administrative domain. This vastly reduces the operational complexity of
managing end users’ diverse application needs by as much as 60 percent.
Additionally, Juniper’s new Universal Chassis furthers the company’s leadership in
disaggregating the network so operators can standardize all routing and
switching deployments across data center and the wide area network in a unified
platform. This commitment to openness can reduce platform qualification by up
to 50 percent through eliminating multiple platform certification cycles across
the network.

News Highlights:
- Junos Node Slicing: Adhering to the platform-first approach, Junos OS
now supports the convergence of multiple concurrent network functions on
the same physical routing infrastructure. This lets service providers and
enterprises optimize their infrastructure while offering differentiated
services with enhanced operational and administrative isolation within a
single chassis. By decoupling the network software from the underlying
infrastructure, Junos Node Slicing is designed to accelerate service
deployment, reduce capital outlay and improve overall operational
efficiency. - Universal Chassis: This is the first modern cloud-grade chassis that
will allow customers to standardize on a hardware platform across their
data center, core and network edge. By decoupling line cards from the
physical chassis, users can reduce the operational burden of sourcing,
procuring and deploying disparate routing platforms across different use
cases. Juniper’s Universal Chassis, which supports the new PTX10008,
PTX10016, QFX10008, QFX10016, and the MX series line cards in the future,
is designed to provide customers with a competitive advantage by adapting
to ever-changing business requirements with a common hardware platform
that supports a continuum of optimized routing use cases across their
network. - Professional Services: Juniper is introducing two new automation Professional
Services (PS) engagements. One of the new PS offerings provides continuous
network infrastructure integration to automate design, test, deployment
and audit network environments to make it possible to evaluate new network
changes within hours, as opposed to months. The other offering moves
network automation from being human-driven to event-driven, enabling network
workflows to seamlessly merge with the rest of IT workflows. - NorthStar Controller
Enhancements: Juniper’s
wide-area network SDN extends support for Source Packet Routing in
Networking (SPRING) capabilities for more precise traffic
engineering control and programmability across the network. In addition, NorthStar Controller supports real-time stream telemetry via the Junos
Telemetry Interface (JTI) and offer real-time traffic visualization,
trending and optimizing at the click of a button.

PTX10008 and QFX Universal Chassis, the NorthStar Controller Enhancements and
new Professional Services engagements are available now.
