Juniper Network: The enterprise combines its own characteristics to choose Cloud Network architecture

At present, regardless of enterprise and individual user's demand for cloud computing network is growing, cloud computing has become the leading force in the future direction of network development. In the face of the new network environment, how to build a perfect cloud-ready network to truly release the overall effectiveness of cloud computing. Around the cloud-ready network, enterprises should be from what aspects of the traditional network architecture transformation, has become a major concern of enterprises. Recently, ZDNet to top network reporters on how enterprises to build a ready cloud network and many other issues on Juniper Network company Greater China Market director Tan Jun an interview.

Tan Jun In the interview, the enterprise to establish a cloud-ready network, and play the actual effect of Izumo network, for the network architecture part, mainly through the following aspects to reflect:

First, enterprises need to innovate in several aspects, that is, the structure is simplified, intelligent and flexible, new security, open.

Second, the main challenges facing the network today are three: support for large-scale virtualized environments, efficient access and access to cloud computing resources, and security from the cloud to a variety of terminal devices.

Third, in the corporate private cloud, Juniper has a flexible solution represented by qfx3000-m, EX, and SRX to accommodate private cloud implementations of all sizes.

Finally, in the application of virtualization technology such as server virtualization and storage virtualization, enterprises need to support the flexibility of cloud computing by simplifying and flattening the network architecture, so as to better adapt to the deployment of dynamic application resources. And Qfabric is a very ideal cloud data Center architecture scheme.

Tan Jun said that enterprises in the transformation of the network architecture should be combined with their own business characteristics to choose a different cloud architecture model. Whether the implementation of the public cloud, private cloud or mixed cloud model, managers should have good forward-looking considerations, so that the enterprise network can always have the ability to expand on demand and technology forward-looking, so as to meet the needs of the future enterprise cloud computing requirements.

And for the above problems Tan Jun has given a specific answer to learn more about the relevant content, please read the following specific questions and answers:

Q: As an important support for cloud computing infrastructure, what links should the network focus on to help companies improve their work efficiency, save costs and reduce energy consumption? And what has changed in comparison to the traditional IT network infrastructure?

A: The web is one of the keys to achieving the entire cloud computing architecture. As the basis of all cloud computing application logic and data transmission, from the angle of enhancing enterprise efficiency and reducing cost, the new network traditional network has several major innovation directions: architecture Simplification, intelligent flexibility, new security and openness.

First, the simplification of the architecture. The new network is based on more hardware-capable nodes and network virtualization and other related technologies, so that the entire network architecture to achieve a large flat, and gradually from multi-layer architecture to a single layer of architecture, thereby significantly improving the application performance, but also significantly reduce the network required number of equipment and networking complexity, Further reduce the cost of transportation and peacekeeping energy consumption.

Second, intelligence and flexibility. The new network can dynamically adjust the network resources and optimize the end-to-end support of the application through various technologies, intelligent identification of the user's identity, location, authority, and the type and performance of the terminal used by the user. The advantage is that users can get connections more easily and have a smooth BYOD application experience. It also helps network administrators more easily maintain a end-to-end cloud computing environment.

Third, the security of the network. The new network undertakes the whole process data transmission from terminal to access network, transmission, data center and network security protection in each link, can provide the omni-directional flexibility for the mixed access from large-scale virtualized computing environment, public cloud and private cloud, and reliable management of enterprise sensitive data on terminal. A new generation of security solutions that can be implemented.

The opening of the network. The new network is no longer a black box, but with the evolution of the network architecture, gradually become a reliable platform for network application development and deployment, the next generation of applications will make better use of the Open interface and programmable ability of the network, dynamic and intelligent to provide a new generation of services can not be realized in the past, better meet the needs of users and management.

Q: In order to meet the requirements of cloud infrastructure effectiveness, network architecture, technology and so on where to make changes?

A: Cloud computing is a driving force that drives the evolution of network infrastructure, this change from a technical standpoint, the challenge to the network is focused on three areas, first with support for large-scale virtualized environments, followed by efficient access and access to cloud computing resources, and security considerations from the cloud to various terminal devices.

Q: In the different stages of enterprise cloud computing, such as public cloud, private cloud, and mixed cloud model, what is the specific idea that the network can help enterprises to enhance the effectiveness of cloud computing in different stages and modes?

A: cloud computing in different enterprises must have a different evolution path. And the network is a key infrastructure, is the foundation of the entire cloud computing building. On the one hand to be able to meet the current application needs, on the other hand must also take into account the needs of future development, in the framework of the need to expand capacity and technology foresight. To meet the needs of various stages of cloud computing.

For the public cloud, it is important to support the large-scale virtualized environment and to manage the multi-tenant cloud effectively, and juniper can provide a new generation of qfabric, VGW, to ensure that the public cloud service providers have the best service capabilities and operational efficiency.

For corporate private cloud, Juniper has a flexible solution, represented by Qfx3000-m, EX, and SRX, which is suitable for all sizes of private clouds for virtualization, simplifying architecture, and reducing energy consumption.

Mixed cloud, Juniper combines the advantages of a public cloud, a private cloud, based on leading routing, identity, and Rights Management, and provides a seamless cloud computing network experience with SSO requirements.
