Enterprise WAN In Cloud Era
Overview
The WAN (Wide-Area Network) is critical in delivering the uptime, resiliency and agility for organizations to scale and adapt technology operations as its business changes.
Juniper enterprise WAN solution empowers customers to make a smooth transition to a modernized architecture that is flexible, automated, secure, and resilient.
For branch sites accessing cloud resources directly, our SD-WAN solutions deliver smart, automated routing that aligns with your business, user, and application policies.
Modernizing mission-critical enterprise architectures for the cloud era that are flexible, automated, secure & resilient.
On top in the WAN overlay, solving the difficult challenges upfront, Juniper purposely built Contrail SD-WAN to conquer NFV, uCPE and SD-Branch. We are now the provider of the most scalable and versatile secure SD-WAN solution, while other vendors in the space are fettered with architectural revamps to try to add in branch security and LAN orchestration. Best of all, our open standards-based solution bridges seamlessly with WAN backbone routing used in the underlay or traditional multi-vendor routing.
Furthermore, the WAN overlay solution is only complete with solid SDN overlay control for the data center interconnect (DCI).SDN inside the data center was easily the first major use case for more dynamic software control over scale-out switching architectures and plugging into workload orchestration systems. Other use cases found in a DCI involving secure underlay. This could be over internet with IPSEC, over dark fiber with MACSEC and simple DCI.On top of the secure underlay, EVPN gives you the ability to achieve large scale multi-tenancy and workload mobility.
Enterprise Network Transformation
Deploying services with 128T Conductor
128 Technology’s Session Smart Routing solution is well suited for Telcos and MSPs and It all begins with our service-centric fabric, which extends anywhere our Session Smart Routers are deployed – and everywhere your enterprise customers need it.
Cloud Fabric:
The use of multiple cloud platforms is creating new opportunities for businesses to increase speed, efficiency, and growth. But it’s creating new operational challenges, too. Security is not being enforced consistently across platforms. Networks can’t provide different services based on an application’s unique needs or maintain tunnels efficiently at cloud scale. And with the high costs of data transfer into and out of the cloud, big packets come with big invoices. It’s time for networks that can handle today’s multi-cloud world.
Network Transformation:
Networks are here to help businesses move faster, respond quicker, and accomplish more. But adding new network capabilities that support these strategic objectives is often complex, costly, and time consuming. That’s because today’s networks are built on a patchwork of different boxes that follow the same hardware-centric model first deployed in the 1990s. This cuts into performance and creates extra work, cost, and risk for the business. With 128 Technology, that’s all about to change.
Juniper AI-Driven SD-WAN
The Juniper AI-driven SD-WAN combines our Session Smart SD-WAN solution with insights and automation driven by Mist AI. It delivers the simplicity, reliability, and agility your IT teams need in the modern era of distributed networking.
Focus On User Experiences, From Client To Cloud
Competitive SD-WAN solutions focus only on network and application conditions to address issues with network availability, quality, and capacity. They lack insight into the actual user experience.
Afterall, an “up” WAN link doesn’t always imply a “good” user experience. We shift the focus on the user experience, through AI-driven insight, automation, and self-driving actions across the WLAN, LAN, and WAN. Also, our tunnel-free Smart Session technology further improves user experience by reducing bandwidth overhead by 30 to 50%.The AI-driven SD-WAN enables you to measure and drive end-to-end user experiences with the following unique features.
- Customizable service-level expectations (SLEs) with proactive anomaly detection.
- Event correlation across the LAN and WAN for rapid fault isolation and resolution.
- An AI-driven virtual network assistant, Marvis, for deep insight into client and network behavior, recommended troubleshooting actions, and Self-Driving Network™ operations.
- AI-driven support with proactive notifications and remediation.
- Session Smart technology for agile, secure, resilient WAN connectivity with breakthrough economics and simplicity.
Cloud-First And Open APIs
Juniper has long embraced the need for scalable, resilient, and agile solutions hosted in the modern cloud, coupled with open APIs for easy programmability and a microservices-based architecture for agility. This approach facilitates anywhere and anytime WAN operations (including SASE solutions), from Zero Touch Provisioning of CPE devices to remote configuration and monitoring of security, networking, and application policies.
The modern cloud also enables you to rapidly address the dynamic and growing number of applications, users, and IoT devices connecting across the WAN to cloud.
AI-Driven SD-WAN For Service Providers
Introduction
Juniper managed SD-WAN is designed to provide the best operational experience for you, and the best network and application experience for your enterprise customers. An integral part of our unique, secure client-to-cloud networking approach, managed SD-WAN uses AI and the Juniper Mist Cloud Architecture to provide proactive insights and automation that take the complexity out of your network operations and support.
Our next-generation SD-WAN solution is based on the industry’s first tunnel-free, session-based architecture that brings visibility and optimization at the application and user levels. You get improved service-level agreements (SLAs) through bandwidth efficiency. And your end users get superior, differentiated experiences—whether they’re on a videoconference or voice call, accessing a SaaS application, or uploading and downloading large data files.
Juniper’s comprehensive, AI-driven solutions enable you to easily onboard new capabilities to grow your managed services portfolio across wired, wireless, security, and WAN.
- The Session Smart Router provides unparalleled application performance by automatically adapting to the requirements of individual sessions and user segments.
- Tunnel-free technology improves SLAs by increasing application performance and reducing bandwidth usage by 30 to 50%.
- Zero Trust session integrity provides adaptive encryption, per-hop authentication, and global access control.
Additionally, Juniper’s Session Smart SD-WAN service solution offers turnkey build, operate, manage, and transfer capabilities to help you easily deploy your network and accelerate time to revenue.
With a service-centric approach that brings simplicity, security, and agility to the WAN, we can help managed service providers deliver better application performance, greater reliability, and tighter security to their enterprise customers than overlay-based solutions—all while helping them get to market faster and more cost-effectively than they ever thought possible.
