 "Juniper Unveils New Products On The MX Series 3D Universal Edge Router")
Juniper Networks announced products that will enable service providers to deliver and expand new consumer and business services to address the urgent need to monetise their networks and support the escalating use of mobile and cloud applications while leveraging existing infrastructure investment.
The new set of software and hardware products run on the Juniper Networks MX Series 3D Universal Edge Router, allowing the network edge to serve as a simple, single platform for everything the network has to offer. The router itself is powered by the Junos Trio chipset, which enables unparalleled scaling of bandwidth and subscribers. Service providers, as a result, will be able to deliver new consumer and business value-added services, such as multi-screen video, digital advertising, and advanced virtualisation software, that help them differentiate their business and increase revenue across residential and mobile broadband and enterprise services. Operational benefits include up to 42 percent lower total cost of ownership (TCO), 81 percent reduction in operation, administration and management (OAM) costs, and accelerated delivery of expanded services.
Junos Content Encore with MX Application Services Modular Line Card enables the delivery of streaming television, video on demand and other premium content services over broadband connections across multiple device types, from mobile phones to laptops. This content caching application also consolidates all these capabilities onto a single line card, with enough capacity to stream up to 80,000 videos simultaneously.
Junos Web Aware enables enterprise and consumer network operators to create new monetisation services, maximise revenue per user, and further differentiate their fixed and mobile Internet access and subscriber customer relationships by providing parental control services and enabling targeted advertising.
JunosV Firefly enables service providers to quickly deploy new virtualised managed services, such as virtualised security with additional services in the future, and increase their top-line revenue. Service providers who are hosting these services for their customers can ensure that traffic for each customer is completely isolated and secure from other users within the cloud.
Junos Node Unifier combines MX routers and Juniper top-of rack switches into a single virtualised element to simplify management of multiple nodes. This innovation enables service providers to streamline operations and ultimately reduce operational expenditures.
Juniper Business Cloud CPE enables service providers’ enterprise customers to offload complex monitoring and Layer 3 routing intelligence from their on-site premises and onto the service provider’s MX router. For providers, this opens up new managed services revenue opportunities while reducing the operational overhead from additional on-site technician support. For customers, it reduces the complexity and cost of managing additional on-site equipment.
Through an array of advanced carrier-grade applications–from security to traffic load balancing–converged directly on the MX Series 3D Universal Edge Router, network operators can effectively reduce the number of single purpose devices that are expensive to operate and difficult to scale. The result simplifies network management and reduces infrastructure maintenance costs. This in turn enables rapid provisioning of new revenue generating services and reduces customer churn.
“Today’s offerings are the latest example of how Juniper empowers service providers to increase revenue through their network at a level of simplicity, speed and scale that is fundamentally different from legacy approaches. It is a natural extension of our vision that began when we first introduced the industry’s first universal edge router, providing the ability to rapidly build, deliver and scale services directly to the customer,” said Rami Rahim, Senior Vice President, Edge & Aggregation Business Unit, Juniper Networks.
