Business Challenge
InterCloud understood that the more enterprises embrace the cloud, the more they need high-capacity, reliable network connectivity. To meet its customers’ increasing demands, InterCloud sought to build a super-scalable core network that provides the highest levels of network and service availability and automates network provisioning.
Technology Solution
InterCloud created a multi-10GbE MPLS core between its points of presence (POPs) using MX Series routers. These routers also connect the POPs to large cloud providers and support VPN connections to global customers. ACX Series routers are used for customer premises and metro Ethernet deployments. SRX Series firewalls provide integrated protection and adapt dynamically to evolving security threats.
Business Results
Using Juniper solutions has enabled InterCloud to keep pace with its customers’ requirements for increasing performance and the highest levels of reliability. The cloud connectivity provider has boosted WAN capacity 100 percent, doubled the number of POPs in Europe, U.S., and Asia, and expanded its portfolio of secure IT services.
The Products
With a robust portfolio of SDN-enabled routers, the MX Series provides industry-leading system capacity, density, security, and performance with unparalleled longevity.
High-performance ACX Series Routers serve metro access, aggregation, and data center use cases. They are energy-efficient, CE 3.0 compliant, and support 5G high-precision timing and synchronization.
