Juniper Cloud plans to speed up competition with Cisco's data center

Juniper has been involved in the data center area since the launch of the first ex-series Ethernet switch, which has juniper again into intense competition with Cisco BAE and Extreme NX. It is reported that in the next few months, Juniper will launch more EX series products and other data center product. These initiatives are only part of the "Stratus Project" project, which is now the responsibility of the newly established Data Center business unit. February 24, Juniper Company announced its ongoing Stratus Project, and also launched the latest Ethernet switch EX2500 GbE (Gigabit Ethernet) switch. The program has been operating inside juniper for more than a year, with David yen, executive vice president of the newly established Data center business unit, previously Gevillen as former executive vice president of Sun Gevillen. Gevillen says the trends in data centers suggest that only 10GbE of network infrastructure can securely handle the needs of all aspects of the data center (including servers and storage devices, applications, applications, and network traffic) and can measure the level of demand without increasing complexity. The aim of the Juniper company is to provide consumers with products and technologies that meet their needs. "The data center is going to grow and we have to provide new and appropriate solutions," Gevillen said. "With the introduction of the First Data center product, Juniper has so far launched the ex-series Ethernet switch, the MX Network Service router and the SRX Series service Gateway." Over the next few months, Juniper will launch more products. Juniper says consumers can feel different from the products they have now launched. Juniper current products, by improving performance and reducing complexity, can help businesses reduce TCO by as much as 52%, reduce energy consumption and cooling costs by up to 44%, and save 55% of data center space. The growth of data center consolidation, virtualization usage and number of applications, high-density blades and multi-core processor devices, and cloud computing have made us realize that only new network capabilities can meet the growing demand. As the density of data centers increases, so does the number of network layers, Gevillen says, with many devices having 3 to 4 layers of Ethernet networks to handle exploding data center resources and network traffic, but this can increase latency and energy costs. Having a more streamlined and less complex network structure can help reduce the number of network layers you need, helping to solve many problems and helping companies develop their data centers with advanced technologies such as cloud computing and virtualization. Jenvi said, "If your network structure does notSupport integration, the flexibility of the datacenter will also be limited. "Cisco and other companies like extreme and Brocade are already aware of this and are trying to move beyond Juniper's new product, which will be a big challenge for juniper." Cisco is also considering developing its data center products, and Cisco has launched the Data Center 3.0 program to provide customers with one-stop shopping centers and technical support to address all their data center needs. In addition, Cisco is working with VMware on cutting-edge technologies for virtualization. In addition, Cisco is expanding the Nexus System switch product, Cisco released its Nexus 7000 products in January 2008. Nortel Networks also launched the new product series--ers 5600 series Ethernet switches in January, aimed at unified communications projects for large enterprises. In addition, brocade company in January also launched a swap platform dcs-4s backbone, according to the company said that the Exchange platform can simplify data center consolidation projects, and can reduce the basic settings and management costs. Another challenge for Juniper is economic, according to a survey published February 24 by Infonetics Research Institute, which shows that the market for Ethernet switches has been promising since 2008, but because of the impact of the economic crisis, The market declined markedly at the end of 2008, with total revenue falling by 7% in the third quarter of 2008 to 2% per cent in the fourth quarter of 2007. The North American market, however, has not been affected, with a 2.6% increase from the same period in 2007, and rising demand for high-priced products, which will provide more profit margins for manufacturers. Gevillen and Andy Ingram (Juniper, vice president of Marketing and business development) believe that, regardless of the difficulties and challenges, Juniper will be able to lay a slice of the world in the data center, before Juniper has had similar successes in areas such as security ( Launched a VPN and firewall and other products. Juniper executives believe that Juniper will provide more practical and effective products to build customers worthy of choice suppliers.
