Utilities

Electric, gas and water utilities rely on Operational Technology (OT) networks to support Industrial Control Systems (ICS) essential to their businesses. OT networks and ICS have traditionally been developed, implemented, and managed separately from IT networks. But as pressure on budgets mounts and business cases for modernizing the grid edge multiply, the benefits of reducing costs and streamlining operations are compelling utilities to reevaluate options for converging and modernizing communications infrastructure.  Juniper’s comprehensive portfolio of resilient hardware, pervasive security, and specific automation helps ensure that safety and reliability are uncompromised.

How Juniper can help

As climate events and a changing energy mix introduce complexity, a private, automation-forward network with open, standards-based security integrated into every packet, process and port increases situational climate agility, minimizes cyber-attacks, and reduces operations costs. Juniper’s solutions help utilities modernize grid and substation communications with secure architectures that gracefully scale to support a new generation of edge applications.

 

  • Private, on-premises, multi-vendor networking solutions eliminate vendor lock in.
  • Automated WAN networks support the industry’s most demanding applications like tele-protection.
  • End-to-end, deny-by-default, Zero-Trust cybersecurity proactively responds to fast moving, east-west attacks.

CUSTOMER SUCCESS

Jackson Electric Co-Op Sees 30% Work-from-Home Internet Surge

When the coronavirus crisis forced the shutdown of America, Jackson Electric Cooperative turned it up. Broadband Internet became a lifeline for the residents of Matagorda Bay, Texas, in the U.S., with miles of Gulf Coast beaches and fresh oysters, blue crab, and shrimp. Jackson Electric’s smart community network, built on a foundation of Juniper routing, easily handled a 30% surge in Internet traffic and a 130% spike in subscriber connections.
