Juniper Networks has introduced Unite Cloud, a transformative data centre framework that provides enterprises with end-to-end solutions to simplify the creation and management of hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The framework has been designed to reduce the total cost of ownership for enterprises while increasing long-term returns on investments. In addition to Juniper’s existing comprehensive data centre solutions, Unite Cloud includes an enhanced Junos Space Network Director management application that leverages advanced automation to analyse and control data centres. It also includes the new Juniper Networks QFX5110 switch with 100 GB capabilities to scale with evolving bandwidth demands and the new Juniper Networks Contrail JumpStart service offerings that help enterprises to rapidly deploy technologies at a lower risk to embrace the cloud seamlessly.

The framework includes the Network Director 3.0, which provides advanced automation for simple management, allowing networks to scale securely with analytics that enable an enhanced experience to visualise, analyse and control the network. It also includes the QFX5110 data centre switch, which is designed to handle high-bandwidth applications, including server virtualisation and simple leaf and spine topologies. Meanwhile, Juniper’s Contrail JumpStart services will help customers deploy the Contrail cloud platform or Contrail networking software in their data centres. The new offerings provide a proven, cost-efficient, pre-tested approach for dep­loying Juniper’s software-defined networking solution and providing customers with an open and automated pathway to the cloud.
