Juniper enhances MX Series 3D Universal Edge Router Portfolio

To expand system capacity, subscriber bandwidth and service performance for edge routers, Juniper Networks has announced enhancements to the SDN-ready Juniper Networks MX Series 3D Universal Edge Router portfolio. Juniper's line-card enhancements to its MX Series pack more power in the same chassis, making it an ideal platform for investment-protecting scale. This is critical, given the relentless pace of subscriber and traffic growth.

To put its tremendous throughput in perspective, the MX2020, Juniper's highest capacity MX router, can simultaneously stream high-definition video to nearly every one of California's 11.5 million households. Powered by the Junos operating system and the programmable Junos Trio chipset, the MX Series 3D routers deliver performance and service scale that enables the cost- effective consolidation of business and residential services.

Paul Obsitnik, Vice-President, Product Marketing, Platform Systems Division, Juniper Networks, said, Leveraging the common, feature-rich Junos operating system and the powerful Trio chipset, the MX portfolio offers customers the ability to create revenue-generating services with complete operational consistency. The MX 3D family serves the entire spectrum of needs from the smallest access aggregation needs with the MX104, up through the very high-end aggregation and core applications with the MX2020, which is the highest capacity single chassis router in the industry at 10.4Tbps. This gives network operators a single family of best-in-class products that can be leveraged in mobile and fixed businesses, and for residential and business applications.

Additionally, Juniper's programmable chipset ensures long-term hardware investment protection in even the fastest-growing markets while enabling virtualized application support through Juniper's SDN strategy.
