Juniper JUNOS OS: The Power of One – The Might to Run on Many

Loading the video...

Reduces Complexity in High-Performance Enterprise or Service Provider Environments

One of the primary advantages of the Juniper JUNOS operating system (OS) is its simplicity; and thus, the simplicity that it brings to your network. Through the power of "one" – one common language, one release track and one modular software architecture, the JUNOS OS reduces network design, deployment, and operation time. One common language refers to the fact that the JUNOS OS maintains a single source code base across routing, switching and security devices. One release track means that when your software needs change, the new functionality is delivered in a reliable, proven pace. The one modular software architecture of JUNOS allows for highly secure, scalable and available software, which with the JUNOS SDK, can be used to develop customer applications and automate network operations.

A High-Performance Network Foundation with Robust Security and Networking Capabilities

The Juniper JUNOS OS offers many integrated security and network advantages that are consistently evolving to reduce operational challenges, while simultaneously improving operational productivity. One such advantage is the Command Line Interface (CLI) that JUNOS features. The CLI can be used to configure, monitor, and manage Juniper products. With the same CLI across multiple platforms you can be confident in your ability to manage the JUNOS platforms because all devices have the same logical configuration hierarchies and indented view of the configuration file. Other advantages of JUNOS include the true command line completion, commit confirmed, configuration rollback, Unix style commands, and much more.

Standards Based Functionality to Enhance a Multi-Vendor Network

JUNOS is developed to operate utilizing standards based networking protocols. This can ease the concerns network managers and architects may have with utilizing a multi-vendor network. Protocols like STP, RSTP, LACP, OSPF and BGP, and many more, can be used to communicate with other networking vendors' equipment. Utilizing network standard like VPLS, VRRP and GVRP can enhance your network functionality. On top of these networking standards, Juniper has developed network technology to reduce or eliminate the need for spanning tree protocols. Utilizing RTG, which stands for Redundant Trunk Groups, will help speed up your network by eliminating spanning tree convergence times. In many cases this can also be used a multi-vendor network, proving that JUNOS is truly a powerful OS.
