Juniper MX Series Ethernet Services Routers
The New Australian Service Provider Standard
Juniper's new midrange MX Series routers are compact members of the MX Series product family powered by the Trio chipset and Junos OS (Juniper's high-performance operating system for advanced security, routing and switching).
Only 2RU high, the midrange MX Series routers help customers drive down the total cost of ownership and increase operational efficiencies in both enterprise and service provider deployments, without service compromise.
The flexibility (mix and match interface types) and upgradability (scalable upgrades from MX80-5G all the way up to MX80, as required) make the
midrange MX Series routers ideal for Service Provider WAN connectivity deployments and data centre interconnection.
The wide range of applications enabled by the MX Series family of routers and supported in these midrange systems include:
- Service provider router with separate control and forwarding functions, to provide maximum scale and intelligent service delivery capabilities, along with hierarchical quality of service (QoS)
- L2 stretch, required for data centre consolidation and data centre mobility (VPLS, pseudowires, MPLS fast re-route, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection protocol)
- L2 and L3 end-to-end network segmentation (using L2/L3VPNs)
- Video distribution for IPTV services with advanced capabilities such as multicast MPLS VPNs
- Cloud computing, providing the perfect platform for connectivity to and between clouds
Juniper MX Series routers have demonstrated functional maturity and best-in-class performance for control plane operations and data plane forwarding. The extensive feature support, positions the midrange MX Series as the optimum choice for service provider and enterprise WAN applications.
