Juniper Expands Networking Offerings For Data Centres

Juniper Networks has unveiled new software, services, systems and partnerships for data centre networking. The "new network" for data centres is fueled by critical innovations in automation, virtualisation and fabric technologies. The company also announced new switches and the delivery of new routers.

"Companies must look beyond traditional multi-layered, complex and inflexible networks to support virtualised and globally distributed data centres today and cloud computing tomorrow," said Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Senior Vice President and Founding partner, Nemertes Research. "The network must become much more dynamic, flexible and automated without sacrificing performance."

Juniper also announced a new Juniper Care Plus services portfolio for mission-critical support and will be available through both Juniper and its partners, including IBM that will deliver Juniper expertise, automation and support via one call globally.
