Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), an industry leader in automated,
scalable and secure networks, today introduced an expanded
portfolio of offerings that will bring businesses closer to a
secure and automated multicloud environment. Adding to its robust
portfolio of data center, campus, branch and cloud networking
solutions, Juniper Networks is providing the infrastructure
solutions organizations need to become multicloud-ready.
Companies are moving more workloads from
on-premises to the cloud to keep up with the need for agility and
more flexibility. A recent study conducted by PwC and commissioned
by Juniper Networks found that a majority of enterprise workloads
currently on-premises are expected to migrate to the public cloud
in the next one to three years. As a result, enterprises will need
to adopt even greater multicloud strategies as workloads become
more distributed across IT environments.
“The promise of multicloud is to deliver an
infrastructure that is secure, ubiquitous, reliable and fungible
and where the migration of workloads will be a simple and intuitive
process,” said Bikash Koley, chief technology officer at Juniper
Networks. “For IT to be successful in becoming multicloud-ready, it
is critical organizations consider not only the data center and
public cloud, but also the on-ramps of their campus and branch
networks. Otherwise, enterprises will face fractured security and
operations as network boundaries prevent seamless, end-to-end
visibility and control.”
To eliminate roadblocks that could prevent
enterprises from realizing the multicloud promise, end-to-end
security and automation must be integrated throughout all places in
the network. Enterprises are currently at different stages in their
path toward a secure and automated multicloud architecture.
Juniper’s extended offerings across its data center, campus, branch
and cloud portfolio are designed to enable enterprises to migrate
to a multicloud architecture on their terms, using natural refresh
and expansion activities to meet today’s needs, while also ensuring
they are multicloud-ready.
News Highlights:
Data Center For organizations that
are refreshing, expanding or consolidating data centers to prepare
their IT environments for a secure and automated multicloud,
Juniper is introducing new data center solutions, including:
- Universal switch for data center spine, data center
edge and DCI: The new QFX10002-60C switch can be flexibly
used as a spine or an edge device for data center interconnect
(DCI). It features 60x100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) deep-buffer
interfaces. Juniper is also adding the QFX5210-64C, a 64x100GbE
port spine switch, and the QFX5200-48Y, a 48x25GbE top-of-rack
switch, to its portfolio.
- Secure workload transitions with new line
cards: The QFX MACsec line card addition to the QFX10000
modular switches provides 30-port 100GbE connectivity for encrypted
traffic in and between data centers.
CampusRecognizing that campus
networks will play an integral role in mutlicloud security and
operations, Juniper is expanding its campus portfolio to include
the following solutions:
- Simplified campus management with a single point of
control: Juniper Sky™ Enterprise is a cloud management
service that enables operators to deploy, configure and manage
switching and security devices, reducing change errors by up to 90
percent. With an intuitive and easy-to-use web dashboard, managing
campus and branch networks is made simpler. Sky Enterprise also
gives network operators visibility into wireless access points
using Aerohive Hive Manager NG API integration.
- Multigig and compact core switches: The new
EX2300 and EX4300 switches bring multigig interfaces to Juniper’s
campus portfolio. The EX4300 multigig switch supports POE++ for new
applications and MACsec to enable a secure on-ramp to the
cloud. The EX9250 switch is a compact
campus core that gives enterprises multiple fabric options by
supporting both Junos® Fusion and EVPN-VXLAN.
BranchJuniper’s
branch approach supports a diverse set of software functions, while
enabling applications and security control that is in sync with the
rest of the network. Juniper’s extended branch portfolio prepares
the branch for multicloud with the following offerings:
- New network services platform with wireless
connectivity: Juniper’s new NFX150 Network Services
Platform combines native branch security and hybrid WAN
functionality with wireless 4G and LTE connectivity between
branches. Built as an extensible platform, it can run third-party
virtual network functions (VNFs).
- Contrail SD-WAN with new subscription-based
pricing: Juniper’s Contrail SD-WAN solution bundles the
SRX Series Services Gateway and the NFX Series with the platform
and orchestration software required for multicloud-ready SD-WAN.
New subscription pricing bundles provide several physical and
virtual endpoint options with secure SD-WAN management.
CloudTo securely facilitate the
migration of on-premises workloads to the public cloud, Juniper is
offering a secure and automated way of establishing connectivity to
and within public clouds.
- Secure connectivity to public cloud: Juniper’s
secure cloud connectivity solution combines onboarding services
with virtual products (vSRX Virtual Firewall or vMX Virtual Router)
available in AWS and Azure to automate the setup of secure IPsec
connectivity between data center, campus and branch networks and
virtual private clouds (VPCs). The solution gives enterprises
operational choice with options that include CloudFormation,
TerraForm or Ansible playbooks.
All new offerings announced today are powered by
the Juniper Networks Junos® operating system, providing users the
telemetry, secure programming interfaces and operational tools
required to automate across multiple places in the network.

bringing the full force of our engineering teams in a bid to
simplify networking so that enterprises can migrate from legacy to
multicloud-ready and eventually to full multicloud
architectures.”-Michael Bushong, vice president of enterprise and
