Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), an industry leader in automated, scalable and secure networks, today announced that BroadBand Tower, one of Japan’s largest data center providers, has selected Juniper Network’s high-performing solutions to power its ‘Next-Gen 5G data center’ situated in the central Tokyo district of Otemachi, which will support the rapidly accelerating 5G mobile and next-generation ICT infrastructure demands of the densely-populated urban capital.
With this in place, BroadBand Tower will be able to offer data center services that accommodate the emerging 5G needs of their customers, including the demands for high-volume traffic and speed from major telcos, enterprises and OTTs, all while ensuring consistent high-speed connectivity to the end-user. To achieve this, BroadBand Tower required a network architecture that could provide both flexibility and programmability, which are crucial for the constantly evolving demands of the 5G era.
Through a stringent selection criteria, Juniper’s MX204 Universal Routing Platform was selected for its ultra-high density and throughput to enable high-speed and uninterrupted network access, while the QFX5200 and QFX5110 Ethernet Switches were deployed to achieve optimal versatility, operability and stability across the network to meet exponentially growing internet traffic and data volume. Additionally, by leveraging the scalability of Junos Fusion, BroadBand Tower was able to yield greater flexibility and control of various elements across its network through a single management plane, while the implementation of a single operating system through Junos OS enabled the unified configuration of all devices, thereby reducing overall network complexity and operational costs.
In further simplifying network management, BroadBand Tower selected Juniper as a single networking vendor for this project due to its proven track record of deploying high-performing and reliable networking solutions.
With the new 5G data center located in the heart of Japan’s financial and technology hub, BroadBand Tower plans to partner with other data operators housed in the same district to expand its services in the near future. The company is also looking to migrate the network infrastructure of its other existing data centers over to Juniper in order to better manage its network seamlessly across multiple locations.
Multicloud has changed the world, and as much as the transition is impacting the inside of the modern data center, it is reshaping the networks between them. In championing the migration to multicloud through 2018, Juniper Networks saw growing momentum for our Contrail Enterprise Multicloud and Contrail SD-WAN solutions. Given the heavy focus in the industry on automation and overlay (commonly known as SD-WAN), the underlying network (commonly known as Enterprise WAN) is often overlooked. Juniper has been delivering solutions for Enterprise WAN across private and leased networks that enables a secure, reliable and scalable network underneath SD-WAN.
Today, we published the enhanced Enterprise WAN 5-step journey, along with leading thinking about the evolution of routing and securing enterprise networks under the sweeping forces of multicloud. So let’s peel back the SD-WAN overlay and see how enterprise customers are securing and automating their Enterprise WAN with Juniper Networks solutions in four key areas: WAN backbone, data center interconnect (DCI), public cloud and internet peering.
Juniper Enterprise Multicloud Routing Top to Bottom
Hastily jumping into public cloud or proprietary data center solutions can encumber enterprises as they move to multicloud. With multicloud squarely in Juniper’s enterprise strategy, our goal is a future where enterprises are free to move workloads between clouds with optimal networking and strong security in the overlay and underlay networks—top to bottom. Overlays and underlays are well understood in the data center, but in the WAN, examining and optimizing the underlay for the new multicloud era is not well covered, nor well understood.
Starting at the bottom in the WAN underlay or transport, Juniper’s strength in WAN routing technology and vision is built on a foundation that helps enterprises connect their campuses, data centers and the super-highway of direct connections into public cloud with SDN-based traffic engineering using NorthStar, switches, and routers like the MX10003, MX204, QFX10000 and PTX.
On top in the WAN overlay, solving the difficult challenges upfront, Juniper purposely built Contrail SD-WAN to conquer NFV, uCPE and SD-Branch. We are now the provider of the most scalable and versatile secure SD-WAN solution, while other vendors in the space are fettered with architectural revamps to try to add in branch security and LAN orchestration. Best of all, our open standards-based solution bridges seamlessly with WAN backbone routing used in the underlay or traditional multi-vendor routing.
Juniper’s portfolio easily serves the largest enterprises that need to direct the WAN backbone and other underlay routing use cases. It also serves enterprises, big or small, looking for SD-WAN control. And unlike some SD-WAN vendors, Juniper acknowledges and addresses WAN solutions top to bottom. Furthermore, the WAN overlay solution is only complete with solid SDN overlay control for the data center interconnect (DCI).
New in Multicloud DCI
SDN inside the data center was easily the first major use case for more dynamic software control over scale-out switching architectures and plugging into workload orchestration systems. Other use cases found in a DCI involving secure underlay. This could be over internet with IPSEC, over dark fiber with MACSEC and simple DCI.On top of the secure underlay, EVPN gives you the ability to achieve large scale multi-tenancy and workload mobility. Contrail Enterprise Multicloud handles the data center top to bottom, managing the physical underlay fabric, virtual overlays, and security and can plug into a range of workload orchestration systems.
To bridge the SDN journey between data centers in the WAN, we have now expanded Contrail Enterprise Multicloud for overlay control with standards-based EVPN-VXLAN type 5. The solution to orchestrate L3 DCI is available today and supported with our MX and QFX Series devices.
The JNCP team is pleased to announce a new Emeritus Program and the availability of multicertification badges.
Emeritus Program
The Emeritus Program recognizes and provides a new status for long-standing JNCIE certification holders. By enrolling in the JNCP Emeritus Program, JNCIEs will no longer have to recertify JNCIE certifications that have been active for nine years or longer. Enrollment is optional and there is no fee. JNCIEs who enroll will also receive the new Emeritus badge for use online. View complete Emeritus Program details.
Multicertification Badges
To recognize members of the JNCP community who have achieved certifications across a broad range of our certification tracks, the JNCP program is launching new multicertification badges. These badges will be provided to all eligible candidates in the same way as our existing certification badges are delivered. Each badge will remain active for as long as the candidate holds the requisite certifications.
Those who achieve (or have achieved) three or four Associate or Expert-level certifications will earn the new designation and receive a badge. The new badges, with the designation 3A, 4A, 3E, or 4E, will automatically be provided to eligible candidates.
