SERVICES DIRECTOR

Junos Space Product Description

Juniper Networks® Junos Space® Connectivity Services Director is part of Junos

Space, a comprehensive network management solution that simplifies management

of Juniper’s switching, routing, and security devices. Junos Space is a critical

component of Juniper’s SDN strategy. It provides a centralized management plane

with a single point-of-access into the network, and a common management platform

for managing and creating applications to meet your specific needs. With Junos

Space, you can simplify and automate the network, improve network agility, and

deliver new services quickly, all from a single console. Junos Space is composed of

the following software elements:

• Junos Space Network Management Platform: Offers comprehensive fault,

configuration, accounting, performance, and security (FCAPS) and element

management of Juniper devices, improving operator efficiencies and providing

a programmable interface and exposable APIs that enable the development

and integration of third-party applications

• Junos Space Management Applications: Provides plug-and-play, domain-

specific applications to help you provision new services and optimize workflow

tasks across thousands of Juniper devices

The Junos Space Network Management Platform infrastructure includes the basic

capabilities for device management and system administration, such as:

• Device discovery

• Device image management

• Device inventory management

• Script management

• Log files management

• User and security administration

• Fault management

• Performance management

In addition to these basic functions, the Junos Space Network Management

Platform facilitates a multitenant, plug-and-play application environment that

enables fast startup and in-service device upgrades.

While the Junos Space Network Management Platform offers broad fault,

configuration, and device provisioning capabilities with a task-specific user interface,

Junos Space Management Applications extend the breadth of the platform to optimize

network management for various domains. The Connectivity Services Director

application runs on the Junos Space platform, where it enables users to automate the

end-to-end provisioning of new services across thousands of devices with a simple

point-and-click GUI, and to optimize management for specific domains such as core,

edge, access and aggregation, data center, WAN, and campus and branch.

Product Overview

Service providers and enterprises

must be able to rapidly provision

and offer new MPLS and carrier

Ethernet services across their

networks. In order to reduce

operational costs and enable quick

service rollouts, these network

operators need an intelligent

provisioning application that

facilitates the design, deployment,

and management of services.

Junos Space Connectivity Services

Director facilitates life-cycle service

management, addressing MPLS use

cases such as:

• Transport

• VPN services

• QoS

• Timing/synchronization

• OAM

Featuring an intuitive GUI,

Connectivity Services Director

supports a rich set of APIs to

enable northbound integration and

service orchestration with other

OSS platforms.
