Juniper Networks data center architectures offer benefits that are lacking in competing solutions, particularly in delivering the functionality and flexibility required for virtualized and cloud environments. These include:
- Seamless 1GbE to 10GbE Migration: Allows customers to deploy 1GbE and 10GbE switches in mixed server environments to provide seamless migration to 10GbE at their own pace.
- Performance: Juniper’s data center architectures are optimized for east-west traffic and use advanced algorithms based on industry-standard protocols that optimize routes between servers. This creates a high-performance network that eliminates the need for STP between layers, improving infrastructure utilization.
- Availability: Each Juniper data center architecture offers sub-second failover times with nonstop routing and nonstop bridging features. Non-stop service upgrades and in-service software upgrades mean the network can be upgraded without downtime, enabling improvements in business service and application availability.
- Plug and Play Deployment: Additional switches can be plugged into an existing architecture without any disruption to the network.
- Location Independence: All architectures can deliver performance at scale. Organizations can grow the network to as many as 6,000 10GbE ports without any performance degradation, with less than 5us latency between any two servers. Customers can move their virtual machines in the data center without having to worry about performance degradation.
If you have not yet moved to a smart, open, simple network architecture, the time has come to re-evaluate your position—particularly if you have any expectation of participating in the next wave of highly virtualized business services. A multitiered network is simply not going to deliver the performance, resiliency, agility and availability required for next-generation applications and business services.
