Juniper and VMware join hands to unify Data Centre Networks
VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE
Juniper Networks(NYSE:JNPR) has made an official announcement that it has expanded its partnership with VMware to deliver a broad range of solutions for unifying virtual and physical networks within a virtualized data center environment. These solutions, which will include VMware NSX L2 Gateway integration and VXLAN routing capabilities across access, aggregation, core and edge tiers of the data center network, will offer enterprise customers seamless management of workflows across virtualized and non-virtualized systems. Juniper Networks' VXLAN routing and gateway capabilities enable both intra- and inter-data center solutions and accelerate the transition to software-defined networking (SDN).
"Network virtualization is rapidly transforming virtual data centers today, and as enterprises seek to simplify IT by accelerating their use of private and hybrid cloud environments, physical and virtual networks must be viewed and managed as a single unified infrastructure. Juniper Networks offers a broad level of VMware NSX integration across its routing and switching platforms, which not only provides enterprise customers with unprecedented levels of IT flexibility, but also allows them to fully maximize their data center investments. Our collaboration with Juniper is a proof point of the commitment shared by both companies to continually drive simplicity, visibility and ease of management within the software-defined data center," said Hatem Naguib, Vice-President, Cloud Networking and Security, VMware.
Jonathan Davidson, Senior Vice-President & General Manager, Campus and Data Center Business Unit, Juniper Networks, said, "For many enterprise customers, SDN in the data center represents a very real way to derive greater value and IT efficiency from the network, and the advent of VMware NSX L2 Gateway integration and VXLAN routing capabilities allows for a more seamless migration to a virtual network environment. Through our partnership with VMware - which includes joint product development, technology integration and joint go-to-market strategies - we are committed to developing a range of networking solutions for use in VMware environments designed to help customers bridge their virtual and physical data center resources. VMware's expertise in virtualized computing combined with Juniper's SDN leadership is a powerful combination."
Increasingly, enterprises are looking to SDN and network virtualization as a means of easily deploying, managing, and orchestrating public and private cloud networks - tasks that have grown more complex due to the combination of physical and virtual assets......See More
