Juniper CRDC -Cloud Ready Data Center

---

Delivering assured experiences, for both applications and operators, requires rethinking data center operations. Simplify your operations from design to deployment (Day 0 and 1) through everyday operations and assurance (Day 2 and beyond) with Juniper’s automated data center solution. 

The approach addresses the need for speed in business, scalability in design, and efficiency in delivery for Enterprise/Cloud Provider/Service Provider.

Apstra ties the architect’s design to everyday operations with closed-loop assurance, a single source of truth, and powerful analytics and root-cause analysis. The Juniper switching, routing, and security platforms stand apart in their robust capabilities and scale, including complete EVPN-VXLAN, IP fabric, and threat-prevention capabilities.

And the richness of Juniper's telemetry combined with open programmability of the Junos OS makes it easier than ever to adapt your data center to ever-changing business needs. 

Hands-on Demo: Closed-Loop Data Center Automation and Assurance

Take a guided, hands-on demo of Juniper’s data center virtual labs (vLabs) and tools, featuring our new Apstra topology for closed-loop automation and assurance.

• Get free access to Juniper vLabs and try out Juniper’s Apstra solution.
• See how you can use one data center fabric for all your Layer 2 and Layer 3 apps.
• Experience “see something, do something” visibility in action.

Juniper’s Apstra solution is a turnkey automation software-only solution that dramatically simplifies the process of designing, deploying, and operating data center networks in multivendor environments.
Simply describe what is needed—for example, reachability, security, quality of experience, or compliance. 

The software automatically configures the network accordingly and assures it is continuously operating as intended with proactive alerting of when an issue may be brewing. 

Apstra continually validates the network against the desired intent, leveraging a single source of truth and advanced intent-based analytics, thereby eliminating complexity, vulnerabilities, and outages resulting in a reliable, secure, and resilient network even in the presence of change.  

Customers realize 80% improvements in operational efficiency, 70% improvements in MTTR (Mean- Time-To-Resolution), and 99% improvements in infrastructure agility.  

Are your #infrastructure​ and #operations​ teams absorbing change, or driving it?  Apstra addresses these challenges through a unified software solution to automate both the architecture and operations of the #datacenter​ #network​.    

You can install the Apstra solution on a virtual machine (VM) or bare-metal server. It connects and manages devices via agents that are installed either on or off the devices.

During the network design phase, you can define multiple logical devices and racks and assemble them into a template. Create multiple templates and instantiate them together in a virtual data center to create a blueprint for your entire network. Additional details such as rack types, routing policies, EVPN-VXLAN, IPv4, IPv6, and other resources can be allocated to each template and associated with compatible physical device profiles.

The Apstra solution provides a singular view into the relationships and interdependencies of millions of data center elements with complete fabric management. Continuous validation enables you to instantly pinpoint and quickly resolve issues across multiple infrastructure silos and vendors.

With your entire data center network managed by the Apstra solution, you can grow or shrink your network easily, extract meaningful device telemetry, and get an accurate status of the network elements quickly.

The Apstra solution keeps your intent-based networking objectives in check and delivers actionable insights into your network you can use to help achieve your business outcomes. 

Reliability

Automate network deployment and operation through reliable continuous validation of all changes and alerting if intent-based deviations arise
