Juniper 250Gbps Router

C114 Beijing time February 8 Morning News (SHANGMU) Juniper NX (Juniper Network) PK Cisco, the core router is another round of war. Juniper recently announced that through the new chip, its T-series core router throughput capacity will be upgraded to 250Gbps, the move is undoubtedly against Cisco's "preemptive". There have been rumours that Cisco is ready to announce a 120Gbps core router, and Cisco's plan may be to upgrade its CRS-1 rather than a complete new product.　　At present, the maximum throughput of Juniper T1600 is 100Gbps, Cisco new products are considered to be the attack on Juniper.　　The new 250Gbps, announced by Juniper, is not only a response to Cisco's plans, at least on paper, but also far more than the 100Gbps products touted by Huawei and Alcatel-Lucent, which theoretically can achieve 4Tbps throughput efficiency by half a rack box.　　Technically, Juniper is now announcing a new switching architecture that will expand the capacity of the system, and a test system with that architecture will appear later this year, with 2011 years to really start selling. The upgrade continues the trend of Juniper to use its own chips for its router product line. The company announced that this October edge routers will also have a similar upgrade, the product has a rather gorgeous name "MX 3D", the chip is called "Trio."　　These new products will be another internal project-the basis of the mobile packet core-to counter Cisco's acquisition of the Star-transport network (Starent NX). As for Juniper when it began to consider using its chip or Exchange architect for routers, Juniper Senior Product marketing manager Allen Sadra said the company was concerned that the external chip could not accurately meet its integrated needs for intelligence, specs, energy consumption and space: " To be commercially viable at this stage, you have to do it yourself.　　"At the same time Sadra claimed that the T-series also had room for capacity upgrades, but did not elaborate. When Juniper chose to "do it himself", the deep pockets of Cisco have been through mergers and acquisitions to achieve its strategic penetration-the "endless war" between the two sides of the financial gap is obvious.　　In fact, Cisco's several mergers and acquisitions last year should have touched juniper. According to C114, Juniper and video conferencing technology company Bao Tong (Polycom) announced a joint agreement this January, will jointly provide and sell management video services-the two major Cisco in the digital and video areas of the main competitors, the Cisco acquisition of the Norwegian Tandberg (Tandberg ).
