"Innovative businesses require a dynamic network infrastructure that is fast, reliable and secure, and that paves the path toward seizing new opportunities. These challenges include keeping pace with an escalating and evolving security threat landscape, which remains a leading source of network downtime and slow service; contending with an inability to quickly scale networks to deliver applications and support thousands to millions of users; and the continuing operational inefficiencies that plague legacy network infrastructure, including the rising cost, complexity and inability to adapt to changing requirements. Juniper quotes Abner Germanow, director, enterprise networks for IDC, saying "Racks of service specific appliances and blades along with a multitude of operating systems and management interfaces create a level of network complexity that introduces latency and inhibits new service deployments. A service architecture that enables businesses to scale in all dimensions dynamically with virtually 'any' service will quickly meet the business requirements and streamline investment decisions." |
