CENIC Simplifies Infrastructure with Juniper Networks
November 13 2018 - 7:45AM
California’s research and education network
consolidates with Juniper’s MX Series 5G Universal Routing Platform
to ease the flow of critical information while reducing
costs
Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), an industry leader in
automated, scalable and secure networks, today announced that
CENIC, a large nonprofit network provider connecting California’s
education and research institutions with each other and with the
world, has simplified its infrastructure by moving from multiple
network platforms to a unified network based upon Juniper Networks®
MX Series 5G Universal Routing Platform for current 10GbE and
future 100GbE service growth. A common operating system and routing
platform across hundreds of its network service edge sites means
CENIC can better contain operational costs and meet surging
bandwidth requirements as its customers require 100GbE
connectivity.
As scientists working in fields such as genomics, climate change
and galaxy exploration continue to push the limits of research that
require massive data collection and sharing across campuses,
network traffic has exploded. Most research institutes, including
the University of California and other leading universities to
which CENIC provides network connectivity, now require 100GbE
capacity to meet their current and future needs. CENIC had a
variety of different networking platforms to support their growing
needs and ultimately saw this complexity as a hindrance to its
growth.
The Juniper MX 5G Universal Routing Platform will allow CENIC to
meet the demands for delivering current and future 10GbE and 100GbE
services at scale while containing operational expenditures by
implementing a single unified operational experience across the
entire network. Juniper’s MX routers empower CENIC with one
platform and one operating experience across its approximately 700
edge sites.
