Juniper Networks is searching to simplicity challenging campus networking by mechanically configuring and supporting regulate Ethernet VPN-Digital Extensible XLAN (EVPN/VXLAN) deployments.

Juniper also expanded its EX family of switches aimed at campus distribution deployments and minimal-density details-middle best-of-rack environments, in accordance to Jeff Aaron, vice president of company marketing and advertising for Juniper.

Juniper has rolled out a process known as campus material workflow, under its subscription-dependent Wired Assurance method. Campus material workflow can enable buyers deploy prevalent criteria-based mostly campus fabrics, these types of as EVPN multihoming, EVPN core/distribution and IP Clos for VLAN extensions with an quick system that lets them select their wanted topology, assign gadgets/roles and push configurations, Aaron claimed.

Wired Assurance faucets into Juniper’s community running method, Junos OS, and gathers telemetry knowledge to measure network efficiency for related endpoints, together with IoT devices, the business reported. It also characteristics anomaly detection to inform when there is a deviation in change performance from baseline metrics, typically in advance of customers are knowledgeable. It works in mix with Juniper’s Mist ML/AI platform that can help deploy, provision, and take care of Juniper bins.

Mist system has supported material-administration abilities in the earlier but that has now been extended to the Wired Assurance system.

“Together the campus fabric workflow and Mist can make it substantially less complicated to configure and handle the network, then, after it is deployed, get insights about what apps are managing and what equipment are accessing them,” explained Christian Gilby, senior director or product promoting with Juniper. In addition, it can identify and right a broad array of switching problems, these kinds of as lacking VLANs, port flaps, and bad cables, Gilby mentioned.

“The thought is to enable prospects minimize the time and price of designing, provisioning, and deploying benchmarks-centered networks these as EVPN though strengthening connectivity and security,” Gilby claimed.

Juniper also announced services named Juniper Mist Wired Assurance Deployment Service and Juniper Mist Campus Deployment Provider that will give obtain to Juniper gurus, automation equipment, and best-practice style and design methodologies to help improve workflows and decrease the load on IT groups, Aaron reported.

New EX distribution switch

On the hardware aspect, Juniper has expanded its EX switch portfolio with the 1RU EX4400-24X Distribution Swap. The 24x10GbE port, 1080Gbps ability EX4400 can be deployed as a distribution switch in big campuses or a main switch in little or medium campus networks. It attributes zero-contact provisioning and can be immediately configured and managed via Mist Wired Assurance.

Juniper’s Digital Chassis technological know-how allows configuring and managing up to 10 of the switches as a single sensible unit, in accordance to Aaron.
