Juniper Networks is an American multinational corporation and industry leader in the field of network infrastructure. Our Samrand Data Centre employs Juniper equipment across the full network. They have used our implementation of their products in our data centre as a promotional case study – see their Hetzner case study.
Here is a brief summary of their report on how Juniper’s technology has helped us to improve our service offering and continue to meet our brand promises of delivering reliable services without compromising on service quality.
The Benefits of Transforming Our Service Delivery with Automation
Upgrading our network capabilities with Juniper has allowed us to create a disruptive value proposition for our customers.
The Junos OS and API, which runs on all Juniper equipment, made it possible for us to implement a high level of automation on the network which has allowed us to automate server and zero touch provisioning of the network.
Our Results With Juniper So Far
Since inception of the network in Samrand, we have seen significant results, not only for our customers but in our day-to-day business operations as well.
- We have seen a 600% increase in throughput, supporting over 100 racks of colocation equipment, 4 000 self-managed servers and 2 350 managed servers.
- The Virtual Chassis technology allows us to deploy new infrastructure without any downtime or added management complexity. This means that our customers need not experience a disruption in our services when we need to upgrade in the future.
The Effect on Hetzner Operations
The Juniper implementation has improved our daily business operations, as:
- We only have two engineers running the whole network because it is so automated and stable.
- We now run a single operating system across all devices, which has helped to lower our management costs and ensure future upgrades will be cost-effective, simple and safe.
In Summary
With Juniper Networks, we have a reliable, high-performance network that is robust and scalable enough to support us as we grow into the future, which means we can deliver on our promise of a quality service at an affordable price.
