The cloud-ready data center requires network resources to be allocated, expanded, and re-allocated, efficiently and at scale. Juniper's uniquely architected platforms deliver the agility and scaling required by virtualized network configurations, segmenting services into logical domains, and using industry-leading hardware designs to scale without complexity.

As service providers deliver end-to-end services, the network must react appropriately with changes in the data center. When it does providers can efficiently draw on a large pool of resources and partition them to meet service requirements, and remain elastic while ensuring performance, security, and control.

Juniper Networks' approach to sharing the network revolves around aligning capacities, bandwidth, priorities, and availability goals with application requirements using technologies based on standards and simplified policies. With virtual chassis and fabric-based switching in Juniper's platforms, multiple devices are interconnected and behave as a single logical device. And in each of our routing and switching lines, customers have unmatched scale and agility in processing ACLs, or "policy filters" that forward traffic according to rules for the designated types at line rate and at all packet sizes.

Juniper's security services and policies nest VLANs within logical zones for security segmentation. With our carrier-grade, scalable MPLS and VPLS technologies, VPNs can be used to extend zones, and VLANs can be stretched across data centers or pods for more flexible shared links to the cloud.

Simplified provisioning and implementation guides provided by Juniper also help to minimize risk and speed time to deployment for an agile, secure cloud data center network.
