The Juniper Networks Data Centre - Enhancing Network Utilisation Through Virtualisation

The traditional data centre has become overly complex, costly, and inefficient. Datacentre network architectures require excessive switching tiers to work around low performance and low-density platform characteristics. Growth in the number of users and applications is almost always accompanied by an increase in the number of "silos" of more devices—for both connectivity and security. The additional capital expenses, rack space, power consumption, and management overhead contribute to the overall complexity of maintaining datacentre operations.

The Juniper Solution

Juniper Networks Datacentre Infrastructure Solutions reduce the total cost of network ownership with architectural innovations delivered via a high-performance product portfolio to provide agility and flexibility. Multiple switching tiers are collapsed, leading to a new simplified network design requiring fewer devices and interconnections. Security services are simplified by consolidating the "security sprawl" of traditional designs into fewer high-capacity and high-performance platforms. Advanced routing capabilities enhance application performance, security, and availability. All of this running over a common operating system with a single management system accelerates application deployments and leads to improved efficiencies in space, power, cooling, and management. As a result, you can support greater scale and advanced application demands with improved agility and less cost—and without trade-offs in sacrificing security for performance.

Virtualisation Boosts Security by Dividing the Network into Multiple Network Segments

Virtualisation technologies in the Juniper Networks integrated firewall/VPN, and secure router security solutions enable users to segment their network into many separate compartments, all controlled through a single appliance. Administrators can simply segment traffic bound for different destinations, or they can further divide the network into distinct, secure segments with their own firewalls and separate security policies.
