VMware Applications Center

Juniper Networks and VMware have teamed up to provide enterprises with solutions that help reduce the cost of data center and network virtualization. Juniper's network and security virtualization capabilities complement VMware's server, desktop, storage, and infrastructure virtualization capabilities.

We offer virtualization capabilities that simplify the deployment of VMware solutions in complex networking environments to:

  • Optimize capital expenditures
  • Deliver performance, scalability and flexibility
  • Our virtualization capabilities span across our best-in-class routing, switching, and security products, and include 802.1q, MPLS, VPLS, IPsec, virtual routers and more.

 

Overview

Increased Reliability and Flexibility for Improved Business Continuity

  • VMware Infrastructure 3 provides the highest-level of data protection, including nondisruptive backup and restore processes and high availability through reduced planned and unplanned downtime.
  • The Virtual Chassis technology of Juniper Networks EX 4200 for dual 10Gbps Ethernet fiber links provides increased throughput and decreased latency to enable VMware VMotion to operate across distances of several kilometers rather than just within a single data center.

Lower Data Center TCO and Reduced Complexity

  • VMware ESX for server consolidation can reduces hardware and operating costs by as much as 50%, energy costs by 80%, and server provisioning by up to 70%.
  • Juniper Networks Data Center Infrastructure Solutions significantly reduces network complexity and total cost of ownership, enabling customers to save up to 52% in capital expenditures, up to 44% in power and cooling, and 55% in rack space in the data center.
  • JUNOS® software automates network operations and minimizes complexity and risk while reducing operating costs by up to 25%.

Using EX-series and MX-series with VMware ESX

Our implementation white papers will help you understand server and network virtualization design considerations for data centers when using Juniper Networks EX-series switches and MX-series Ethernet service routers. Highlights include:

  • Configuring EX 4200 and MX-series routers to integrate with VMware's ESX virtual server.
  • Configuring the EX 4200 Virtual Chassis to implement the access layer.
  • Configuring a 10 GbE uplink from an EX 4200 switch.
