Communications solutions from IBM and Juniper Networks

New challenges require a new network. An IBM-architected data center running on Junos Software is the foundation for that new network. It combines the experience of a global services team with a proven networking operating system running in the world’s most demanding environments—a synergy perfectly aligned to meet the dynamic needs of business today. In fact, a recent study by Forrester Consulting, entitled “The Total Economic Impact™ of Juniper Networks Junos Network Operating System,” reports a 41 percent reduction in overall network operational costs based on dollar savings across specific task categories, including planned events, reduction in frequency and duration of unplanned network events, the sum of planned and unplanned events, the time needed to resolve unplanned network events, and the “adding infrastructure” task.

Together, IBM and Juniper offer flexible communications solutions that can enable you to rapidly offer and manage compelling and attractive cloud-based services. Our leading-edge technologies and real-world experience can help you speed the time-to-market of new services while lowering associated costs and business risk.

With Juniper’s single, scalable fabric technology and the IBM data center portfolio, we provide:

• A dramatically simplified "3-2-1" network architecture that reduces complexity and improves performance, scalability and data center efficiencies, while lowering operational and capital costs.
• Network virtualization technologies based on open standards and simplified policies that dynamically partition and leverage the network to achieve cloud-like data center efficiency and agility.
• Open, extensible network automated software that helps eliminate data center complexities, streamline operations and improve management controls for a better cloud-ready data center solution.
• Dynamic security services, including application- and user-aware policies to help enterprises efficiently secure data flows for the cloud-ready data center solution.
