Social Media Release: Juniper Networks Introduces Data Center Infrastructure Solutions

Juniper Networks, Inc. introduced its new Data Center Infrastructure Solutions.

Juniper Networks, Inc. introduced its new Data Center Infrastructure Solutions designed to advance IT initiatives for data center consolidation, server virtualization and sustainable information technology.
  * Significantly reduce network complexity and total cost of ownership by up to 52 percent in capital expenditures, up to 44 percent in power, up to 44 percent in cooling and up to 55 percent in rack space in the data center.
  * Help enterprises, service providers and government agencies achieve greater operational simplicity, agility and efficiency for accelerating the deployment of new applications and services.
* Simplify data center network design with the combination of the Juniper Networks EX-, MX- and SRX-series products to consolidate services and data center switching layers.
  * JUNOS(R) software automates network operations across the routing, switching and network services infrastructure, and can reduce operating costs by up to 25 percent.
  * Juniper Networks Virtual Chassis technology combined with line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance can reduce the amount of equipment required in the data center by up to half.
  * Natively integrate and optimize multiple services into a single platform that needs less than one-third the rack space of a typical security solution requiring 12 separate appliances, yet delivers up to six times the performance.
  * Streamline provisioning, management, troubleshooting and maintenance of the data center infrastructure on a single management framework.
    * Juniper's data center approach is supported by strategic partner IBM and customers including AdvancedMD Software Inc., AOL, Commerce Bank and Laboratory of Neuro Imaging at UCLA.
