Juniper Networks Delivers EVPN-VXLAN Fabric to Connect Enterprise Data Center and Campus Networks
28 June 2018 - 9:45PM
Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), an industry leader in automated,
scalable and secure networks, today announced the expansion of its
campus portfolio, including extending EVPN-VXLAN fabric to the
campus, enabling a common architecture for campus and data center
fabrics by unifying disparate architectures. Through this
unification, Juniper Networks is providing the building blocks for
an enterprise-wide fabric, a key component in building a simple,
secure and automated multicloud. Juniper also announced
enhancements to its branch portfolio with new capabilities in its
Contrail SD-WAN solution, utilizing NFX Series, SRX Series and vSRX
Series WAN Edge devices combined with Contrail Service
Orchestration.
Most enterprises have separate campus and data center networks,
leveraging entirely different architectures to provide connectivity
across the two domains. This leads to divergent operations, which
inhibits enterprises’ attempts to unify their infrastructure under
a common operational umbrella. With Juniper’s new EVPN-VXLAN campus
architecture, enterprises can build campus networks using the same
protocols that are popular in the most stable and efficient data
centers that exist today.
To facilitate the way customers can deploy their entire campus,
Juniper has also expanded its campus portfolio via a resell
agreement with a global Wi-Fi leader, Aerohive Networks, and today
announced the expansion of their strategic partnership to provide a
cloud-managed, wired, wireless and WAN solution. Juniper Sky
Enterprise integrates with Aerohive’s Cloud Services APIs and
Aerohive’s HiveManager Network Management System to provide a
single pane of glass for monitoring the entire wired and wireless
campus network. The solution offers customers choice of deployment
models – including public cloud, private cloud or on-premises.
Understanding that the branch is also an integral part of the
customer’s journey to multicloud, Juniper is enhancing its Contrail
SD-WAN capabilities with support for fine-grained Application
Quality of Experience (AppQoE) and industry-first active-active
clustering for Juniper’s NFX and SRX Series branch devices. Juniper
is also expanding its 5-step multicloud migration framework to
include evolution paths for campus and branch networks. The 5-step
multicloud migration provides enterprises with a set of best
practices, natural technology insertions and recommended products
and services to more easily complete the journey to a secure and
automated multicloud.
News Highlights:
- Juniper’s EX Series Switches augmented with
industry-first EVPN-VXLAN campus architecture: By
extending EVPN-VXLAN beyond the data center, Juniper is providing
enterprises the building blocks for an enterprise-wide fabric. The
EVPN-VXLAN protocol is ideal for campus architectures because it
provides layer-3 transport with layer-2 capabilities that allow
enterprises to evolve while also taking into consideration legacy
applications. A new EX4650 Switch with industry-leading 25G/100G
density complements the already available and EVPN-VXLAN capable
EX9000 Series Switches.
- Resell agreement with a global wireless leader,
Aerohive Networks: The global resell agreement with
Aerohive will enable Juniper to provide a unified cloud managed
campus and branch networking solution from ethernet switches to
enterprise-ready wireless access points. As customers migrate to
multicloud, the Juniper and Aerohive unified wired-wireless
solution offers flexible cloud-managed or on-premises-based options
that can be easily deployed with Juniper Sky Enterprise and
Aerohive HiveManager cloud-based management. Aerohive’s portfolio
of access points includes the newly announced family of 802.11ax
access points and form factors, including indoor, outdoor,
industrial, wall-plate and pluggable 802.11ac access points.
- Enhancements to Juniper’s branch portfolio:
Juniper’s Contrail SD-WAN now supports fine-grained Application
Quality of Experience (AppQoE), offering visibility and dynamic
management into individual granular application session performance
for more than 3,700 unique applications, such as Microsoft Outlook,
Sharepoint and Skype for Business. Based on real-time analysis of
application traffic in Juniper’s NFX, SRX and vSRX Series WAN edge
endpoints, customers can tune application performance to and from
the branch using Contrail Service Orchestration managed policies.
This gives enterprise IT managers the ability to dynamically
prioritize business-critical application traffic based on business
policy intent. Juniper has also enhanced architectural reliability
and flexibility in the branch and WAN. An SD-WAN industry first,
Juniper’s NFX and SRX Series branch devices now support
active-active clustering, delivering double the connectivity and
reliability to important sites across any type of WAN connectivity,
such as LTE, broadband internet or traditional MPLS.
- 5-step multicloud migration framework for campus and
branch networks: Juniper is introducing a 5-step
multicloud migration framework for campus and branch networks,
providing customers a methods-driven approach to creating their
customized path to multicloud. The framework considers aspects of
architecture, products, tools, processes and people. This framework
incorporates Juniper’s multicloud-ready solutions, along with
available professional services at each stage of this journey.
Supporting Quotes:
“Today’s announced campus and SD-WAN enhancements allow
enterprises to bring best practices from the data center into
their campuses, allowing them to more quickly realize secure
and automated multicloud environments. The transition to multicloud
doesn't have to be a long and drawn-out process. Through our 5-step
multicloud migration framework, Juniper Networks is also providing
enterprises the required building blocks that facilitate the
transition and bring best practices to each stage along the
way.”- Michael Bushong, Vice President of Cloud and
Enterprise Marketing at Juniper Networks
“Since implementing Juniper Networks’ switching products, James
Cook University now has the foundation for secure and automated
multicloud, giving the university flexibility to accelerate our use
of private and public cloud resources. Our network now has a
consistent design for the core, data center and campus networks
using Juniper’s QFX and EX Series switches, which deliver
significant operational simplicity. Our IT team can consistently
apply policies and operations across multiple campuses, clouds and
other locations. Previously, if one switch went offline, it could
take down seven floors or three buildings. But now with a highly
resilient, redundant network design, we can lose a piece of
equipment in the chain without impacting the user
experience.”- Swain Kirk, Head of ICT
Infrastructure Services at James Cook University
“As we looked to update our district’s network infrastructure,
it was critical for us to invest in technologies that operate
independently, yet still connect seamlessly with one another. We’re
excited to see a partnership between Juniper Networks and Aerohive,
as our school district already uses products from both vendors and
has empowered us with the freedom and flexibility to implement a
customized infrastructure and ultimately deliver a heightened
learning experience to our teachers and students. “- Brian
Currin, IT Operations Manager at Boise City Independent School
District
“Our customers rely on Integration Partners to help them
modernize all layers of their infrastructures. When migrating to
multicloud, it’s imperative to have a foundation that supports

Juniper Networks, we can help our customers elevate their cloud
strategies through their breadth of campus and branch products,
allowing them to capitalize on secure and automated multicloud
environments.”- David Raftery, Chief Revenue Officer at
Integration Partners
“Enterprise campus networks are embarking on the largest upgrade
cycle in about 20 years. We estimate over 1 billion Ethernet switch
ports will be refreshed in the coming years, which places Juniper’s
launch timing on its EX4600 and multi-cloud capability early in
this massive upgrade cycle.”- Tam Dell’Oro, Founder of
Dell’Oro Group
“As enterprises continue to struggle with managing multiple
network silos, Juniper Networks is building on its secure and
automated multicloud strategy by enabling enterprise customers to
leverage a common, open architecture from the data center to the
campus. Additionally, Juniper’s 5-step multicloud migration
framework provides enterprises with a set of best practices,
natural technology insertions, and recommended products and
services to more easily complete the journey to a secure and
