| | Enterprise Data Center Network Reference Architecture Simply designing a data center that only deploys more servers, storage and devices significantly increases network complexity and cost. The data center network also must offer components such as security, performance acceleration, high density and a resilient network infrastructure. This document shares Juniper Networks best practices in designing a highly efficient, secure, scalable and flexible data center network.View this webcast | Advancing the Economics of Networking Aging network systems and old habits have dictated how businesses spend their IT budgets. As a result, a large percentage of IT dollars are being spent to “stay in the race.” While this model keeps revenue streams flowing for legacy network vendors, it doesn’t necessarily help businesses gain a competitive advantage. Juniper is changing this economic model by delivering a new family of solutions that reduce capital and operational expenses. By freeing up IT budget dollars, Juniper allows businesses to invest in other innovative technologies that will further reduce the cost of doing business while improving their competitive position.Download this white paper | Implementing HA at the Enterprise Data Center Edge to Connect to a Large Number of Branch Offices This paper reviews the problem of creating a network where the dynamic availability of services is of critical importance.
