Future of the Data Center

by Juniper Employee on 10-20-2009 09:41 AM - last edited on 10-20-2009 09:41 AM

Over the past year, I've been engaged in various discussions with many of my colleagues and friends around the "future of the data center." What does this mean? What technologies, ideas, processes and global architectures will define the ‘futuristic' data center? These questions come up often and answers can vary depending on who you ask and when.

Earlier today, Juniper made an announcement about a significant milestone in our relationship with IBM which will benefit customers who seek choice and best-in-class technology as they build and deploy data centers for their businesses. Read more...

Yesterday, Juniper postponed a scheduled Blackhat USA 2009 presentation by one of our employees, Barnaby Jack, entitled "Jackpotting Automated Teller Machines." This decision has grabbed the attention of the press, the Twittersphere and Blogosphere, and understandably so. Read more...

On Wednesday, Juniper Networks and NYSE Euronext made a significant announcement on our plans to work together to design a state-of-the-art, ultra-low latency core network for NYSE Euronext's new consolidated global data centers.

World's Fastest Financial Trading Network

by Juniper Employee on 06-24-2009 01:01 PM - last edited on 06-24-2009 01:01 PM

NYSE Euronext, the world's most diverse exchange group, and Juniper Networks today announced that they are working together to create a state-of-the-art, ultra-low latency core network for NYSE Euronext's new consolidated global data centers. Located in the greater New York and London metropolitan areas, NYSE Euronext's two new data centers will be the primary operational infrastructure supporting several billion daily transactions and quotes across diverse asset classes and geographies, and will be instrumental in enabling NYSE Euronext to consolidate the total number of its data centers from ten to four. Expected to be operational in 2010, the new facilities will provide much greater network scale and efficiency, and will utilize Juniper Networks Data Center Infrastructure Solutions and advanced data center fabric technology to support an unprecedented internal latency of 50 microseconds round-trip.

 

The two companies held a press and analyst event in New York City and shared this video: 

 


Juniper has developed truly unique and innovative technologies that empower organizations to deploy a very high capacity, low-latency network that meets the demands of the new data center.

The false green choice before us?

by Juniper Employee on 05-14-2009 10:40 PM

The question in vogue these days is whether your company "lives green" or just "wants green". Do companies idealistically support green practices because they are better for the planet and our grandchildren? Or do we just want to make more money (which is "green" colored in the USA). I think it's a false alternative and more of us are acting on the basis of both sustainability and profit motives as they re-enforce each other. This is one case where we can have our cake and eat it too. The more the better. Read more...

Enhancing the Distributed Enterprise

by Juniper Employee on 05-04-2009 04:58 AM - last edited on 05-04-2009 04:58 AM

Who would have thought that the old "branch network" environment that was dominated by a single vendor would change so much so quickly? The new world of mobile workers seems to pile new requirements onto old branch networks with rich media driving high-performance needs, explosions of single-purpose appliances driving complexity, out-of-control OS versions driving high costs, and excess network layers causing needless expense. Old products are driving the same old cost structures that seem so "2008" (ie outdated) these days. Read more...

Big News with Big Blue

by Juniper Employee on 04-28-2009 05:27 AM - last edited on 11-05-2009 02:41 PM by Administrator Administrator

There is a lot of buzz around super data centers, cloud computing, and virtualization. It’s hard to talk about these innovations without highlighting the critical role the network plays in delivering on the promise of each of these advancements in computing.

Today, IBM announced an update to its Dynamic Infrastructure of which Juniper is a critical participant delivering shared vision, technology innovation and a robust product portfolio. Jim Comfort, VP of Enterprise Initiatives at IBM talks about our partnership in this video:



IBM and Juniper also recently cooperated on a demo that vividly illustrated the ability to seamlessly extend private clouds. Hooking up sites in Silicon Valley and Shanghai, we showed how companies can leverage remote servers in a secure public cloud to prioritize critical applications. These capabilities are now being integrated into IBM’s nine world wide Cloud Labs for customer engagements. You can see a slideshow of the IBM and Juniper Cloud Day below:




IBM fundamentally understands the strategic value of the network. And as one of their key vendors, Juniper is committed to delivering joint networking solutions that meet and exceed the most demanding global standards.

What’s Hot and What’s Not

by Juniper Employee on 04-24-2009 11:40 AM - last edited on 04-24-2009 11:48 AM by Administrator Administrator

In my role, I have the pleasure of speaking with people in all different lines of business directly or indirectly related to what we do here at Juniper-everyone from our service provider customers to press and financial analysts who have their own unique stake in our business. It's the latter two groups that have been asking questions about whether service providers can or will "run their networks hotter" to preserve capital expenses in these trying economic times. I'm not sure who coined the term, but it seems to be gaining traction as our esteemed competitor referenced it on their last quarterly earnings conference call. Read more...

With the economic downturn, today’s enterprises are focused on cutting opex immediately, but are even more challenged with reducing vulnerability to threats while retaining choice and flexibility for the future. Read more...

Independent Study Reflects Power of JUNOS in Reducing Customers Network TCO

by Juniper Employee on 02-24-2009 12:00 AM - last edited on 02-24-2009 09:24 AM by Administrator Administrator

Just two months into 2009, and there is no question business and IT priorities are focused on ways to reduce costs, accelerate service delivery and maximize revenue. As I talk to customers, colleagues and other business leaders, it's clear that operational efficiency will be the watchword for some time to come. However other concepts including agility, responsiveness and customer service will remain important themes for business executives as we all navigate the choppy waters head. Read more...
