Juniper Networks NFV Framework
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV): Engine Of The Virtual Revolution
To stay profitable, service providers need to launch customizable services, but rapid innovation requires a level of agility that can only come from service virtualization and automation.
Find out how Contrail Cloud, Juniper’s NFV platform, can help service providers simplify service provisioning operations, scale with elastic infrastructure, and create custom combinations to launch new services at lower cost and lower risk.
The Fast-Track To NFV
Service providers today are facing a multitude of network challenges that hinder their ability to stay competitive. Foremost among these challenges is a rigid service delivery infrastructure and operating costs that seldom align with revenue. And compounding the problems, network operations are increasingly complex and expensive to maintain, driving up total cost of ownership (TCO).
Juniper solves these problems with a carrier-grade Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) solution that combines a dynamic cloud orchestration system with a supporting reference architecture based on virtualization and programmability.
We enhance our NFV solution with built-in automation capability that’s powered by machine learning to optimize your distributed cloud infrastructure and virtualized network functions (VNFs), remediating any potential failures to help you deliver on your SLAs.
The solution also comprises dynamic cloud orchestration with highly scalable connectivity. The result is a production-ready suite of NFV capabilities that intelligently orchestrates and automates the provisioning and operation of network functions, both virtualized and physical.
To help you deploy the NFV solution, our Juniper Professional Services team joins forces with expert partners to lower your risk and ensure quick results. The solution enables you to reduce errors and TCO through automation while improving visibility and simplifying your operations. You also gain increased agility through virtualization, allowing you to align your costs with revenue.
Contrail Networking
Cloud networking and service orchestration powered by open technology
Contrail Networking provides dynamic end-to-end networking policy and control for any cloud, any workload, and any deployment, from a single user interface. It translates abstract workflows into specific policies, simplifying the orchestration of virtual overlay connectivity across all environments. You can apply and control end-to-end policies across physical and virtual environments.
Contrail Networking’s software-defined networking(SDN) capability, based on the open-source network virtualization project Tungsten Fabric, enables you to securely deploy your workloads in any environment. It offers continuous overlay connectivity to any workload, running on any compute technologies from traditional bare-metal servers, virtual machines, to containers.The unified operations and management tool, Contrail Command, is a simple-to-use interface.
You can operate and manage end-to-end networking and security policies, delivered by Contrail Security, across all environments from the centralized location. Cloud-native workloads can be highly portable and distributed, potentially existing in multiple locations, on-premises, or in the public cloud.
Contrail Networking works with managed Kubernetes offerings, such as Amazon EKS and Google Anthos, and can bring enhanced networking, security, and visualization to these environments.
In the case of legacy workloads that can’t be migrated to containers, open-source project KubeVirt allows full virtual machines (VMs) to be run as pods in a Kubernetes cluster. Contrail Networking enables those workloads to share the same ubiquitous virtual networking and security policies alongside cloud-native applications.
Contrail Networking is also integrated with Contrail Cloud for service providers. It enables you to run high-performance Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) with always-on reliability so that you can deliver innovative services with greater agility.

Contrail Service Orchestration -Overview
Contrail® Service Orchestration (CSO) software designs, creates, and coordinates a secured WAN service. CSO is highly available, scales easily, and supports multitenancy with role-based access. Multitenancy separates customer tenancies and creates a more personalized experience.
For communication service providers (CSPs), multitenancy is fundamental to building out SD-WAN and enterprise services, increasing competitiveness, and enabling real profits. As managed service providers look to deliver SD-WAN services, and as enterprises seek assurances that these services can be delivered across all locations, the resulting platform must be agile and capable of scaling cost effectively.
While simpler SD-WAN systems offer single tenancy scale and basic reliability, CSO’s foundational microservices architecture ensures cloud-grade reliability and scalability to enable multitenancy and ensure high availability and high performance.
Contrail Service Orchestration includes a web-based management interface for defining policies, managing locations, visualizing performance behavior, and automating the provisioning and management of devices running within the SD-WAN environment.
With Juniper’s cloud-managed SD-WAN, customers do not need to run or maintain the CSO component of the SD-WAN solution. Customers may also deploy CSO using an on-premises version.Contrail Service Orchestration is a powerful software platform bridging many enterprise and multitenant service provider solutions including secure SD-WAN, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), telco cloud, and more.
It’s available as an on-premises product and a cloud-managed service.
Contrail Service Orchestration designs, secures, automates, and runs the entire service life cycle across SRX Series next-generation firewalls and NFX Series Network Services Platforms. It integrates and federates with Mist Cloud for seamless Wi-Fi management.
It’s also a service orchestrator for the vSRX Virtual Firewall, available in public cloud marketplaces such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure. The automation enabled by Contrail Service Orchestration helps to simplify your operations, providing reliability and agility while extending visibility across your multicloud network.
