Streamlining Service Provider Edge Deployments with Juniper Validated Designs Solution Brief
Deploy more quickly and confidently, improve outcomes, and save valuable time
Discover how Juniper Validated Designs (JVDs) for the service provider edge can help you design and deploy an optimal networking solution
THE CHALLENGE
Navigating the complex landscape of service provider edge deployments
Service providers today face unprecedented challenges in delivering secure, reliable, high-performance network services. As networks become more complex and digital demands intensify, they must manage soaring data traffic from connected devices, address pervasive security threats, and meet ultra-low latency and high bandwidth requirements. Additionally, providers are under pressure to reduce operational costs and time-to-market, push traditional architectures to their limits, and drive rapid service innovation and deployment.
THE CAPABILITIES YOU NEED
JVDs are comprehensive, end-to-end blueprints for deploying Juniper solutions in your network
Fully tested, well-documented network designs
Service providers are deploying advanced services that realize new revenues such as telco clouds, edge clouds, and 5G. JVDs make these clouds easy to design, deploy, and operate, enabling workload portability, economies of scale, and operational consistency among hybrid cloud and multicloud ecosystems.
- Scalability
Validated designs are built out based on customer input and requirements and are tailored to meet specific common use cases at maximum scale.
- Reliability
Because JVDs are prescriptive designs used by multiple customers across various industries, all JVD customers benefit from lessons learned through lab testing and real-world deployments.
- Velocity
JVDs have clearly defined performance profiles to help you make informed decisions about your network, resulting in up to 9x faster deployments.
- Predictability
JVDs undergo a rigorous testing framework to achieve validation with ongoing, automated verification in each new release.
