With these capabilities, the industry’s highest performing edge router delivers the scale and automation that service providers and cloud operators require to bolster the economics of next-generation networks.
Consumer and business appetite for HD video, cloud services and always-on collaboration tools have forced network operators to add unprecedented levels of capacity to their infrastructure, all while trying to remain profitable. At the same time, large enterprises are building increasingly sophisticated networks to enable the deployment of hybrid clouds and flexible wide-area networks, creating a situation where IT is a competitive advantage. In order to remain relevant in today’s extremely competitive marketplace, customers intimately understand that throwing more terabits at the problem alone will not solve things; but rather, they must also use new tools that automate manual, innovation-stifling tasks and allow for further programmability within the network to improve operations and service velocity.
Today’s announcement marks an important milestone in the nine-year evolution of the MX Series, which has pioneered many routing innovations since its inception in 2006, including the introduction of the industry’s highest capacity edge router with the MX2020 in 2012 and the first full-featured, carrier-grade virtual router with the vMX in 2014. To date, Juniper Networks® has sold an MX Series router every hour since the series was unveiled in 2006. More than 90 percent of the 50 largest telecom companies today use MX Series routers in their networks, and with today’s new hardware and software upgrades, we believe these companies will continue to meet their customers’ demands for years to come.
The MX Series, powered by programmable Trio silicon and the Juniper Networks Junos software, gives customers investment protection and offers a network application development platform that seamlessly integrates with evolving SDN and NFV solutions.
Juniper Networks has introduced the following advancements for the MX Series:
New MX Series line cards: The new MPC7, MPC8 and MPC9 line cards, all powered by programmable Trio silicon, provide high-density network connectivity and unmatched bandwidth, subscriber and services scale. The 400 GbE-ready MPC9 provides an industry-leading 1.6 Tbps of throughput, enabling a single MX2020 to scale to 32 Tbps of throughput, enough to stream more than 2 million 4K videos simultaneously. Additionally, the new MPC7 doubles the performance and density of all currently installed MX240, MX480 and MX960 routers, providing customers with unprecedented investment protection.
Juniper Extension Toolkit (JET), which uses open application programming interfaces (APIs), yields new automation capabilities in the carrier-class Junos software. JET provides a programmatic interface to develop highly customized third-party applications, such as provisioning and self-healing capabilities. These applications can reside on or off the MX2010 or MX2020 to seamlessly interact with the network layer. Not limited to the MX Series, JET is available on all Juniper platforms that run Junos software. In addition, JET includes support forOpenConfig, a standardized, vendor-independent configuration and management capability with customizable YANG data models for flexible vendor integration.
Junos Telemetry Interface: The industry’s first high-frequency telemetry export function on a networking platform to optimise network performance and fault management. Junos Telemetry Interface facilitates SDN/NFV migrations by synchronizing operational states to external controllers. Advanced analytics and real-time data correlation to deliver real-time reporting at scale are made possible through advanced technologies from companies likeSevOne, a leading global provider of digital infrastructure management solutions.
MPC7, MPC8 and MPC9 line cards, Juniper Extension Toolkit with OpenConfig support and Junos Telemetry Interface are expected to be available in 1H 2016.
