Via Juniper Press Room

Sep 5, 2017

SUNNYVALE, CA --(Marketwired - September 05, 2017) - Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), an industry leader in automated, scalable and secure networks, today announced that Liberty Global, the world's largest international TV and broadband company, has deployed Juniper Networks® vMX as a virtual route reflector in its network footprint.

This innovative, Network Function Virtualization (NFV)-based approach will enable Liberty Global to achieve high-performance and cost-effective scale in support of voice, video and data services for its residential and business customers.

Liberty Global serves approximately 25 million customers across more than 30 countries across Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, serving over 10 million mobile subscribers and offering WiFi services across 10 million WiFi access points. The company invests strategically in infrastructure that empowers its customers to make the most of the digital revolution.

News Highlights:

  • Liberty Global has deployed Juniper Networks' virtual route reflector -- a task-optimized vMX with a high performance control plane -- across its network footprint.
  • The vMX is a full-featured, carrier-grade virtualized MX Series Universal Edge Router that runs as licensed software on x86-based servers, providing an innovative, NFV-based approach to building cloud-grade networks.

  • Virtual route reflection provides efficient scale in large border gateway protocol (BGP) networks, helping Liberty Global streamline operations and reduce total cost of ownership.
  • Liberty Global is an existing Juniper Networks customer and deploys Juniper's high-performance routing, switching and security solutions at various locations in their network. -- Juniper Networks® MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers and PTX Series Packet Transport Routers provide advanced routing and MPLS capabilities, low-latency multicast support, advanced quality of service and high availability features for Liberty Global's international core network. -- SRX Series Services Gateways, next-generation firewall platforms with advanced security services, secure Liberty Global's data centers.
