juniper ASHEEI networks MX SERIES UNIVERSAL ROUTERS Ethernet is rapidly becoming the technology of choice for both enterprises and service providers looking to provide connectivity and intelligent services. While in some respects the requirements may be different, today's advanced services are dictating that both enterprises and service providers build networks that meet increasingly stringent requirements regarding quality of service (QoS), network performance and availability. In addition to these basic requirements, service providers seeking to provide a differentiated user experience are finding they must scale their networks to support increasingly higher amounts of bandwidth, services and subscribers. Scaling the network in these three dimensions will be critical to securing competitive differentiation for the next generation of services. Scalability is further enhanced by the ability to interconnect and manage multiple chassis as a single, logical device, improving operational efficiency while lowering TCO. Juniper Networks® MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers are the only routers designed to provide the 3D scaling necessary to address today's advanced Ethernet requirements. Powered by Juniper Networks Junos® operating system and high-performance silicon such as the I-Chip and Junos Trio chipset, the MX Series enables service providers and enterprises to adapt toand profit fromחEthernet services in a changing market. Product Description MX Series routers are a portfolio of high-performance Ethernet routers, which function as a Universal Edge platform capable of supporting all types of business, mobile and residential services. With powerful switching and security features, the MX Series delivers unmatched flexibility and reliability to support advanced services and applications. MX Series routers also separate control and forwarding functions to provide maximum scale and intelligent service delivery capabilities. MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers are optimized for Ethernet and address a wide range of deployments, architectures, port densities and interfaces for both service provider and enterprise environments. In both markets, the MX Series routers provide scalable, high port-density routing and switching required for applications such as data centers. For service providers, MX Series routers surpass the requirements of carrier Ethernet routing and switching as defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum, making Juniper Networks routers Product Overview With continuous technology advances and ongoing standards development, Ethernet is increasingly the technology of choice for enterprises and service providers. Ethernet bandwidth requirements continue to rise as a result of companies needing high-speed connectivity between their geographically dispersed sites. There is an increased reliance on collaborative applications across a globally distributed user base which requires sharing data across the WAN. These are often multimedia applications, including video conferencing and video streaming, and thus require extremely high bandwidth and low latency. To address these requirements, Juniper Networks has introduced the MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers that deliver a high-performance network infrastructure that provides fast, secure and reliable delivery of the applications that drive business processes while containing cost and increasing operational efficiency. 1
