Juniper Network to play a part in Lotus F1 Team’s 2013 Campaign

Utilizing Juniper Networks portfolio of switching, security, wireless LAN, routing and application software solutions to improve flexibility and enhance performance, the company has announced that Lotus F1 Team has built a mission-critical network infrastructure. In addition, Lotus F1 Team has deployed Juniper QFabric technology in its two data centers to flatten the network architecture to reduce latency and improve performance, creating a mission-critical, carrier-class private cloud environment. Juniper Networks has reported that, in the future, Juniper will also provide LAN, WAN (Wide Area Network) and remote connectivity trackside at Grand Prix races globally and at numerous testing sessions.

Sean Dolan, Sr. VP, EMEA, Juniper Networks, said, Grand prix racing is literally a fast-moving enterprise, with a highly-competitive, success-driven culture. Trackside conditions are particularly challenging, with heat, dust, vibration and the need to build and tear down a reliable, secure network infrastructure quickly in a new location every couple of weeks or so. We are very excited by the prospect of Juniper’s technology operating in this environment and playing a part in Lotus F1 Team’s 2013 campaign and beyond.

Juniper’s security solutions will help Lotus F1 Team to ensure fast, reliable throughput while maintaining the highest levels of data privacy and protection.

Juniper’s single operating system, Junos, uniquely provides a common element across the routing, switching and security elements deployed to ensure Lotus F1 Team maximizes ease-of- management, long-term flexibility and return-on-investment.
