Quantum Lab:Lab-As-A-Service

---

Juniper Networks Testing as a Service(TaaS) offering uses Juniper’s physical Customer Certification Labs (CCL) and virtualized infrastructure (Cloud CCL).The CCL simulates your network environment, so you can test new services, code, software, and hardware without compromising your live network. 

Our IT experts work closely with you to gather information about the topologies, configurations, and traffic flows in your network environment. Subsequently, they create an accurate replica of your network in one of our Juniper-managed data centres.All planned changes to your network are tested in a secure and safe lab environment. Upon completion, you’ll receive a thoroughly documented test plan that includes our observations and recommendations.

To help you speed-up and optimize the deployment of new technologies and offerings, Juniper Networks Testing as a Service:

• Validates your architecture, design, and network, prior to rollout.

• Mitigates the impact of project delays, outages, and other potential problems early in the network life cycle.

• Tests specific functionality of scheduled upgrades or changes to mitigate any risk to your production network.

With Cloud CCL, you can instantly build a virtual model of your production network.All of the lab services are powered by the Juniper Cloud Labs (JCL) Platform to provide consistency in the user experience and how services may be consumed or leveraged between services. Authorized users looking for the standard JCL demonstration and sandbox functionality can access that service by clicking here. 

Juniper vLabs: This service provides a variety of preset topologies in routing, switching, and security to give you a chance to try out Juniper technologies. vLabs access is free to the public. It is generally accessible from Juniper’s technical documentation in order to augment the learning process with “hands-on” capabilities.

Cloud Customer Certification Lab (Cloud CCL): A billable Testing as a Service (TaaS) offering that provides access to a virtualized test environment where you can replicate and validate your organization’s designs, topologies, protocols, or network services prior to deployment in order to minimize the risk of network failures or downtime.

Try Contrail and AppFormix: The newly introduced Try Contrail and AppFormix sandbox offering is available to qualified 3rd Parties looking to learn about these products in a guided tour format working with various use cases. Parties must register to reserve a 12 or 24 hour time block.

OpenLab: OpenLab’s Network and Skills Transformation Programs, whether Learning Series sessions or the various ThrowdownTMPrograms will utilize hands-on lab exercises designed to help audiences fully grasp the power of the Juniper solutions. The Throwdowns represent solution development programs targeted at network automation and programmability.

Manual processes can strain IT teams when it comes to designing, provisioning, and operating networks that are growing in complexity and size. Further, they risk configuration errors and impact service-level delivery. Juniper Global Services offers extensive automation expertise and network knowledge that can help your organization simplify the network and IT operations.Our automation capabilities range from assessment to testing, deployment, support, and training.

We work together with your teams to identify use cases and workflows to automate in your environment, helping maximize operational efficiency while reducing the time to value of your network. Advisory-You can leverage key Juniper network automation solutions, open automation frameworks, and custom-developed modules that integrate our products with your automation libraries to:

• Bring up a test network quickly
• Make changes in minutes
• Seamlessly apply these changes in production environments

Our advisory team can advise on best practices and facilitate the quickest path to success.

To help you deploy a fully operational solution as quickly as possible, Juniper offers the following customizable implementation services: 

• Automated Lab Testing — Run pre-production tests using our platform and a comprehensive set of automation libraries. The libraries contain build playbooks and test cases that you need to conduct lab testing at the device, topology, and network level.  

• Automated Deployment — Automate procedures and processes to build and validate new networks and services through our open automation frameworks.

• Network Automation — Automate key operational processes and workflows using Juniper Contrail HealthBot, Contrail Insights, and ATOM from Anuta Networks for service orchestration and closed loop operations.

Juniper offers several virtualized “hands-on” labs services that are designed to allow our partners, customers and other interested 3rd parties to learn about Juniper’s product and solution functionality. 

These lab services are aimed at external audiences who may wish to explore a new product or solution, a specific technology or functionality with or across products, or who are looking to test new configurations or incremental features on top of systems that they already have deployed.

Juniper vLabs, a web-based platform that lets you try out Juniper products and features at any time, in a no-risk environment.Use pre-built topologies to explore our products and solutions—all for free!Let’s get started.  

1. Sign up or log in. (New user? Read this.)
2. Choose a topology from our list of offerings.
3. Reserve the vLab using the graphical interface.

We’ll provide you with topology-specific details after you’ve logged in.
