Company Shatters Performance Bar with
Cost-Effective and Energy Efficient Converged Supercore
Architecture That Combines New Silicon, Upgraded System Capacity
and New Software-Defined Networking Capabilities
Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), the leader in network innovation,
today at its 2015 Innovation Showcase introduced its enhanced
Converged Supercore®, which includes new custom silicon, updates to
the Juniper Networks® PTX Series router and expanded
software-defined networking (SDN) capabilities. These new
innovations will empower service providers to better connect a
world amid explosive and unpredictable bandwidth demands. By
combining the industry’s most advanced silicon with increased scale
and SDN programmability, Juniper will deliver the most powerful and
optimized core routing platform available – all in the industry’s
most cost-effective and compact form factor.
Nearly half of the world’s population is connected to the
Internet – a figure that will only continue to grow as more
countries begin expanding mobile and fixed-line networks.
Unfortunately, today’s methods of coping with this data deluge can
prove costly and cumbersome. With today’s announcement, Juniper is
building on its heritage of revolutionizing routing fundamentals
and economics by setting new records for high-performance and
traffic optimization by combining software, silicon and systems
advancements to usher in the next generation of communications
networks.
Silicon Advancements
Juniper’s new ExpressPlus custom silicon sits at the heart of
the Converged Supercore to offer full IP routing and MPLS. The new
ExpressPlus silicon will deliver four times the performance and
three times the efficiency gains over Juniper’s previous-generation
Express chipset.
Juniper’s new chip is the world’s most advanced silicon, capable
of performing more than 1.5 billion filtered operations per second
and scaling up to 500 Gbps (1 Tbps half-duplex). The 28 nanometer
chip can drive 5x100G interfaces and leverages 3D memory
architecture, reducing its physical footprint by 20 times compared
with previous solutions, which optimizes power consumption and
space requirements.
Juniper stays true to its heritage of continually pushing the
boundaries of what a powerful network foundation can do for
companies of all sizes. The ExpressPlus chip is a testament to
Juniper’s focus on delivering, through its people and expertise,
the industry’s most powerful, highest performing networking
solutions.
System Advancements
New line cards for Juniper’s PTX Series core routers bring
unprecedented levels of scale, capabilities and cost control to the
network. Juniper’s PTX routers, featuring the new ExpressPlus
silicon, combine full IP and MPLS functionality, transport
integration and SDN programmability for uncompromised performance
and ease of deployment.
With the PTX5000, Juniper can now deliver 3 Tbps per slot
(30x100GE interfaces) for a total capacity of 24 Tbps (48 Tbps
half-duplex), providing three times the competition’s throughput
with industry-leading energy efficiency (1/2 watt per gigabit).
Juniper Networks® PTX3000, designed specifically for
space-constrained environments, can scale up to 8 Tbps or (16 Tbps
half-duplex) in a form factor 91 percent smaller than its nearest
competitor.
With this added level of performance, the PTX5000 could, for
example, simultaneously stream HD video to every single person in
Rio de Janeiro – and do so on the same amount of power it takes to
drive an electric vehicle 35 miles.
SDN Advancements
Juniper also announced today it has extended the capabilities of
its NorthStar Controller. These enhancements will provide
visibility and control into additional layers of the network and
fully support and handle dynamic traffic, such as that driven by
mobile and cloud applications. As the industry’s only
traffic-engineering controller capable of automatically controlling
and programming multiple network layers, the NorthStar Controller
will enable service providers to increase utilization by
dynamically adjusting to changing network conditions in real-time
and at the click of a button.
For many years, the network core was considered too manual, too
rigid and too complex to adjust. This limited the ability to change
the core to adjust to new services for fear of crippling the entire
network. With today’s announcement, Juniper is bringing
unprecedented levels of scale, automation and programmability to
transform the network core into an agile platform to unleash new
levels of efficiency for flexible service creation.
Additional 2015 Innovation Showcase News Highlights
- Juniper
today introduced the QFX10000, a new line of spine
switches that will offer unprecedented scale, automation and
performance to all types of data center and cloud deployments.
Additionally, Juniper announced Junos® Fusion for data
centers, which will enable customers to manage their entire data
center as a single network to ensure simpler network designs and
long-term investment protection.
- Juniper also announced the availability
of Express Path, an optimization capability for the SRX5000 Series
Services Gateways that will dramatically boost throughput, reduce
latency and improve session scalability for enterprises and service
providers. This new technology enables the SRX firewall to keep
pace with the massive volumes of data traffic on high-performance
networks.
Supporting Quotes
“TDC required a next-generation packet optimized core transport
solution that would give us not only the capacity needed to meet
our exploding traffic demands but do so in a cost effective, energy
efficient manner. We chose Juniper’s PTX5000 over the competition
because it provides not only unmatched scalability and
efficiency but also delivers tight packet-optical integration
allowing us to gain greater insight and efficiencies in our network
management and operations. With these features in place, we know
that we can adapt to changes easily and offer new
revenue-generating services to our customers.”
- Steen Nielsen, vice president of product management and
technology for Broadband, TDC
"Our customers are under tremendous pressure to deliver more
bandwidth efficiently. The Converged Supercore Architecture
provides the highest packet performance, and lowest TCO and power
consumption that our customers demand to remain competitive in the
marketplace. The announcement made today will help our service
provider customers meet the ever increasing demands on their
network in a scalable, cost efficient way."
- Mark Plato, CEO, telent Technology Services, Ltd.
“With the enhancements to the Converged Supercore, Juniper
Networks is positioning itself as a thought leader in the service
provider routing space, not only by addressing higher capacity
requirements, but also by focusing on automation and SDN
programmability in order to make service providers' networks more
agile and risk adverse. The PTX and MX Series together address
key service router requirements in the edge
and transit router requirements in the core and metro,
which should help maximize cost optimization and service
delivery.”
- Dr. Ray Mota, CEO and principal analyst, ACG Research
