Data Center Networks
Simplify operations and assure experiences with the modern, automated data center.
Juniper helps you automate the entire network lifecycle to simplify design, deployment, and operations and provide continuous validation.

Delivering assured experiences, for both applications and operators, requires rethinking data center operations. Simplify and automate your operations from design to deployment (Day 0 and 1) through everyday operations and assurance with the turnkey Juniper Apstra System. Customers have achieved 90% faster time to deployment, 70% faster time to resolution, and 83% OpEx reduction.

The Apstra solution ties the architect’s design to everyday operations with a single source of truth, continuous validation, and powerful analytics and root cause analysis.  The Juniper switching, routing, and security platforms stand apart in their robust capabilities and scale, including complete EVPN-VXLAN, IP fabric, and threat-prevention capabilities. And the richness of Juniper's telemetry combined with open programmability of the Junos OS makes it easier than ever to adapt your data center to ever-changing business needs.

Data center network engineers play a big part in an organization’s success. From making precise changes, bringing up new services to the market, and support evolving business strategies. This webinar will share the 7 habits that help network engineers thrive in ever-changing environments, and specific tools that can help you put these habits into work.  

1.       Design for business outcomes 
2.       Automate for reliability and repeatability 
3.       Learn once, use often 
4.       Pick the right equipment 
5.       Validate as you go 
6.       Be proactive, not reactive 
7.       Document your work

7 Habits Of Highly Effective Data Center Networkers

Did you know that approximately 90% of attacks infiltrate the network through applications? With numbers like that, it is essential to secure your entire data center and every point of connection from the data center gateway to the interconnect, between servers, and within application workloads to keep applications connected and protected. Join our data center and security experts and discover how to:

· Defend application workloads in any cloud or on-premises environment against advanced and zero-day exploits
· Leverage verified threat intelligence to block malicious traffic across the data center and stop attackers in their tracks
· Gain visibility into what is happening across multiple data center environments and leverage automation to address gaps
· Proactively isolate and quarantine threats before they can wreak havoc

Automating and Securing Your Zero Trust Data Center

Do you need to deploy new data center switches quickly? Find out how you can reduce your DC deployment from months to days with a tool that assists in design, cabling plans, device configuration along with test and validation of your Arista, Cisco, Dell Enterprise SONiC or Juniper fabric.
In this webinar you will learn from long-time DC Architect and Cisco press author Jeff Doyle about what you can do so that your physical and virtual deployment steps can happen quickly after your switches arrive.
Learn 5 Best Practices:
•       Design the DC network and develop and validate all configurations, including logical entities, VRFs, and fabrics 
•       Create a cabling plan using software tools
•       Use self-documenting software that catalogues your guidelines and assures that your operation teams are operating the network according to your best configuration practices
• Develop and test your API workflows for your specific environment
•       Gain experience for your teams in operating your updated network in a free virtual environment

Get time back in your design and deployment cycles and get your new gear up and running faster with assurance that your new network setup has been pre-validated and is ready to go.
Stay to the end and Jeff will share how you can get access to a powerful, customizable, free virtual environment for pre-staging and testing your Arista, Cisco, Dell Enterprise SONiC and Juniper EVPN-VXLAN fabrics.

5 Best Practices: Reduce Arista, Cisco, SONiC, Juniper DC Deployment to Days

Why First Bank chose Juniper Apstra for their data center refresh

Typische Übergänge im Netzwerk liegen heute nicht mehr klar in der Verantwortung von Netzwerk Admins. Das kann man nur durch Abstraktion in den Griff bekommen. Der ideale Ansatz dafür: Intent Based Netzwerke (IBN). Doch was steckt dahinter?

* Ist bei Ihnen die Fehlersuche im Netzwerk auch umfangreich und zeitaufwendig?
* Die genaue Fehlerursache kann meist nicht lokalisiert werden, da viele unterschiedliche Systeme (Server, Storage, FW, Router, Apps, Switche) involviert sein können?
* Eine Root Cause Analyse identifiziert immer das Netzwerk als Fehler?
Wenn Sie auch nur eine dieser Fragen mit "Ja" beantworten, ist Ihr Netzwerkbetrieb wohl zu komplex und sollte aktualisiert werden. Dabei kann die Automatisierung Ihres DC Netzwerkes vom Design über Deployment und Betrieb in einer Lösung drastisch vereinfacht werden

Im Webinar erhalten Sie eine einzigartige Sicht auf die Beziehungen und Abhängigkeiten zwischen Millionen von Rechenzentrumselementen. Erfahren Sie anhand von Use Cases, wie Sie mit echter kontinuierlicher Validierung Probleme über alle Infrastruktursilos hinweg sofort erkennen und schnell beheben können, unabhängig von Hersteller oder Hardware.

Highlights der Agenda:
* Der letzte Architektur-Wechsel im DC Netzwerk
* Das neue Design Ihres Datacenters: In wenigen Stunden "ausrollbereit"
* Real-Time Validierung zwischen Soll- und Ist-Zustand, alles in einem System
* Schnellere Änderungen ermöglichen, mehr Visibilität für Ihr Netzwerk

Ist Ihr Netzwerkbetrieb zu komplex? Das muss nicht sein!

Are you ready to reap the benefits of intent-based networking in your data center? Join us to learn how Juniper’s Apstra Solution empowers your IT team to automate the data center network from design to deployment and throughout operations.

Our Apstra solution is intent-based to maximize network performance, scale, and agility. It applies design templates for everything from cabling to provisioning, so your network continues to operate as it was intended. This intent-based system continually validates changes, alerting your operations teams of brownouts or deviations from your original intent.

In this webinar, we’ll demonstrate how Juniper’s Apstra Solution can reduce your design and deployment time from months or weeks to days or hours. We’ll drill down into:

- Templates: Templatize the design, validation, and deployment of your data center network, regardless of hardware vendor.
- Closed-loop assurance: Use intent-based analytics for a single source of truth from implementation to operations.
- Intent Time Voyager feature: Roll back your entire network—not just individual devices—to a previous state, regardless of variations in hardware or network operating systems.
