Epsilon Embraces Juniper Networks’ Metro Fabric Solutions for 100GbE Global Network Expansion in the IoT Era
October 03 2018 - 10:00PM
Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), an industry leader in automated,
scalable and secure networks, today announced that Epsilon, a
global communications service provider, has deployed Juniper’s
Metro Fabric solutions to support its global network upgrades to
power future IoT applications and robust enterprise services.
As part of its rapid worldwide expansion, fueled by the
explosion in growth of big data, IoT and cloud demands on a global
scale, Epsilon required a network that would scale seamlessly for
Infiny by Epsilon – its on-demand, self-service
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) platform; offering a
comprehensive set of enterprise data and voice global connectivity
services. Epsilon required seamless integration with their existing
network for optimized network management and the ability to quickly
scale for service expansion and speed of delivery. These
requirements will also enable end-to-end service level agreement
(SLA) visibility, a key differentiator that will support web-based
on-demand provisioning.
After an extensive evaluation process, Epsilon found the
solutions required for its 100GbE-ready infrastructure, enabling
simple service delivery across multiple complex metro locations –
through a combination of routing and optical capabilities, uniquely
offered by Juniper Networks.
News Highlights:
- 100GbE-readiness with flexibility in the
underlay: Epsilon required an open solution that supported
packet-optical convergence for the upgrade of its global backbone.
Through a combination of the MX10003 5G Universal Routing Platform
as the MPLS transport core, and Metro Fabric solutions from Juniper
consisting of the ACX5048 Universal Metro Router and BTI Packet
Optical Transport Platforms, Epsilon is able to provide a variety
of connectivity options across 1GbE/10GbE/100GbE, tailored to
individual market requirements.
- Interoperability, automation and a
single-pane-of-management: Across the stack, network
management is now significantly streamlined, while offering
end-to-end visibility and increased automation capabilities.
Enabled by the interoperability of Juniper’s solutions and the open
APIs provided by the Junos operating system, Epsilon now has the
crucial end-to-end SLA visibility to eventually support on-demand
provisioning across its end users.
- Forward-looking scalability to support IoT and big data
applications: With Epsilon’s ongoing growth and expansion,
the networking infrastructure powered by Juniper provides a clear
path to continued upgrades of the MX Series 5G Universal Routing
Platform and ACX Series Universal Metro Routers, offering the
current and long-term scalability and investment protection
required to service more than 100 points-of-presence across the
United States, Europe, Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
