Industry’s Most Compact Core Router Leverages Revolutionary ExpressPlus Silicon to Achieve Unprecedented Levels of Power Efficiency and Performance
Juniper Networks expanded itsConverged Supercore architecture with the introduction of the PTX1000, the industry’s most compact 3 Tbps fixed configuration core router, leverages ExpressPlus chipset for performance and efficiency gains.
Insatiable consumer and business customer demand for always-on, always-available services, including enterprise applications, unified communications and other bandwidth-intensive activities, such as streaming video, has led telecom service and cloud-content providers to rethink how they architect networks for efficient service and content delivery. Distributing peering sites across the network for access to cloud services improves the user experience by decreasing application response time and increasing reliability via fixed and mobile access. With the rise of machine-to-machine traffic and the advent of virtualized services becoming more distributed throughout the network, the need for increased IP/MPLS performance while maintaining cost control is in great demand.
The 28-nanometer chip can drive 5x100G interfaces and leverages 3D memory architecture, which reduces power consumption and space requirements. In addition, the PTX1000 features flexible port interface options to maximize investment protection and ensure smooth upgrade cycles.
“For telecom service and cloud content providers, the network is the lifeblood of their business. Juniper is always looking for new ways to ensure the network is a true competitive advantage for them. In developing the PTX1000, we recognized that these customers can increase performance while reducing operational complexity by distributing the load of serving up content across multiple peering points to deliver the high quality user experience that consumers expect.” Said Paul Obsitnik, vice president of service provider marketing, Juniper Networks.
