Product highlights:

Juniper Networks QFX10000 High Performance Data Center Switches

• The QFX10000 line of high-performance switches delivers industry-leading scalability, density and flexibility, helping cloud and data center operators build automated data center networks that provide superior long-term investment protection.
• Using custom, Juniper-built ASICs, the high-performance, highly versatile QFX10000 switches scale from 3 to 96 Tbps of throughput, delivering the capacity needed for long-term investment protection.
• By offering the industry’s highest 100GbE port density—up to 480 in a single chassis—the QFX10000 line delivers the power to seamlessly evolve data center networks from existing 10GbE and 40GbE architectures to 100GbE, to keep pace with evolving requirements.
• Designed to function as a common building block in a variety of other network architectures and fabrics, QFX10000 switches deliver maximum flexibility while ensuring that users will never be locked into a proprietary solution. Juniper Networks vMX 3D Universal Edge Router

Juniper Networks vMX 3D Universal Edge Router

• The vMX is a true MX Series 3D Universal Edge Router that is optimized to run as software on x86 servers. It helps service providers and enterprises quickly and economically leverage virtualization without compromising on features or performance.
• The vMX supports sophisticated routing services and applications, including vPE and vCPE, and is ideally suited for agile service introduction and modification for both service provider and enterprise applications.
• With its “pay as you grow” licensing model, the vMX reduces the risks associated with new market entry and service innovation, allowing network operators to start small, move fast and stay profitable.
• The vMX increases service agility by enabling network operators to quickly deploy and scale services by spinning up new routing instances on demand, and by supporting non-disruptive service introductions in parallel with current services. This approach eliminates the risk, complexity and delay associated with reconfiguring and requalifying the current infrastructure for new services.
