PRODUCT CATEGORY BROCHURE Enterprise Networking

High-Performance Business Requirements Today’s high-performance businesses demand a high-performance network infrastructure that provides fast, secure and reliable delivery of the applications that drive business processes. Switches deployed in regional offices, campuses and data centers enable these business processes by connecting users to applications, delivering everything from traditional file services to telephony, messaging, presence, video conferencing and Web services. To fill this critical role, network infrastructure switches must: -- Be highly available to ensure uninterrupted,...

Unfortunately, most contemporary switches don’t meet these requirements. Designed and installed over several years, these switches—deployed in multiple layers across the network—fall short of delivering the performance, scalability and wire-speed port densities that today’s converged networks demand. Multiple switch layers add considerable cost, delay and complexity to the network, which in turn drives capital and operational expenses ever higher. Enterprises need a new approach—a strategic, innovative solution that allows them to spend less on their network infrastructure and more on...

EX2200 Line of Ethernet Switches The Juniper Networks EX2200 line of Ethernet switches deliver a compact, economical standalone solution for access layer deployments in branch and micro-branch offices, lowdensity campus networks, and commercial or enterprise workgroup environments outside the wiring closet. Occupying a single rack unit, the EX2200 provides a compact solution for crowded wiring closets and access locations where space and power are at a premium. Four EX2200 switch models are available, offering 24 and 48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports with or without Power over Ethernet (PoE). The...

Virtual Chassis Technology The EX2200 and EX2200-C also support Juniper’s unique Virtual Chassis technology which enables up to four of the switches to be interconnected and managed as a single logical device, delivering a scalable, pay-as-you-grow solution for expanding networks. While the switches can be interconnected over any of the front-panel uplink ports, providing tremendous configuration flexibility, the last two ports are configured by default as Virtual Chassis ports to automate deployments when using standard GbE SFP transceivers. If Virtual Chassis technology is disabled, these...

EX3200 Line of Ethernet Switches The Juniper Networks EX3200 line of Ethernet switches offer a simple, cost-effective solution for low-density branch and regional offices. Deployed in wiring closets to provide network access for users and other IP-enabled devices, the EX3200 switches offer plugand-play 10/100/1000BASE-T connectivity for today’s converged networks. Both 24- and 48-port fixed-configuration switches are available to provide sufficient port densities for most branch offices. Optional four-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and twoport 10GbE uplink modules with pluggable optics are...

EX3300 Line of Ethernet Switches The Juniper Networks EX3300 Ethernet Switch delivers a high-performance, flexible solution for converged data, voice, and video enterprise access environments, providing a level of flexibility and ease of management previously available only with higher end access switches. The EX3300 line features six models offering 24 or 48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports with and without PoE+, as well as front-to-back and back-to-front cooling options and a DC power supply. Four dual-mode (GbE/10GbE) small form-factor pluggable transceiver (SFP/SFP+) front panel uplink ports...

EX4200 Line of Ethernet Switches The Juniper Networks EX4200 line of Ethernet switches are truly unique, delivering the best elements of chassis-based systems in a compact and efficient form factor. Designed for access and aggregation deployments, the EX4200 switches are a superset of the EX3200 switches, available in the same 24- and 48-port 10/100/1000BASE-T configurations with optional GbE and 10GbE uplink modules. The EX4200 offers full and partial PoE options; models are also available that support the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard, providing additional power for devices that require more...

High Availability The EX4200 switches also feature many of the same HA features as chassis-based solutions, including internal redundant hot-swappable power supplies and a fieldreplaceable fan tray. Power supplies and fan trays are common across the EX4200 line, so spares can be stored onsite for rapid MTTR. In a Virtual Chassis configuration, Graceful Route Engine Switchover (GRES) ensures that network operations continue uninterrupted and no critical routing data is lost following a master Routing Engine failure. Master and backup Routing Engines are automatically assigned by the Junos...

EX4500 Line of Ethernet Switches The Juniper Networks EX4500 line of Ethernet switches offer scalable, compact, high- performance platforms for supporting high-density 10 gigabit per second (Gbps) data center top-of-rack as well as data center, campus, and service provider aggregation deployments. Two models are available. The EX4500 features up to 48 wire-speed dual Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and lOGbE pluggable ports in a two rack unit platform to deliver full Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity to networked devices such as servers and other switches. Forty fixed ports are complemented by two...
