JUNOS SPACE NETWORK DIRECTOR

Product Description

Juniper Networks® Junos® Space Network Director provides a smart, comprehensive, and

automated network management solution designed for the cloud era that enables network

and cloud administrators to visualize, analyze, and control their entire enterprise network—

data center and campus, physical and virtual infrastructure—through a single pane of glass.

In the data center, Network Director, which offers a full turnkey solution, helps

administrators manage, visualize, and troubleshoot physical and virtual environments by

providing correlated visibility between virtualized and physical networks, as well as flow

analysis, visualization, and synchronization of network policies as virtual machines (VMs)

move from server to server. In the campus, Network Director automates routine

management tasks such as network provisioning and troubleshooting, dramatically

improving operational efficiency and reliability.

Network Director incorporates key functions that address the challenges posed by the

rapid adoption of virtualized, dynamic, and on-demand cloud services across data center

and cloud deployments. In addition, Network Director offers sophisticated end-to-end

network visibility and flow path analysis in conjunction with the Juniper Networks Cloud

Analytics Engine, providing flow-aware performance analysis to improve application

performance and availability by associating flows/applications across the physical and

virtual infrastructure, improving the ability to quickly roll out new applications and

troubleshoot problems.

These smart network management capabilities are delivered through the following

Automate

• Fabric automation fully automates the provisioning, configuration, and deployment of

complex underlay and virtualized fabric topologies, providing comprehensive pre- and

post-deployment support and management for Layer 2 and Layer 3 fabrics, as well as

Junos Fusion Enterprise and Junos Fusion Data Center fabrics. Junos Fusion is a

single-tier architecture that allows an enterprise network to be managed as a single

system.

• Zero touch provisioning (ZTP) simplifies the deployment of networks without

requiring user intervention, providing policy-driven plug-and-play provisioning and

network bring-up operations for both fabrics and individual devices.

• Bulk provisioning enables faster service rollout and activation while protecting against

configuration errors with profile-based and pre-validated configurations. Bulk

operations can be performed at logical (access, aggregation, core) or location (site,

building, floor, rack) levels.

• Automated access port provisioning supports plug-and-play operations. Network

Director detects the end point device types (such as wireless access points and VoIP

phones) that are plugged into ports and automatically provisions all port-related

parameters including VLAN, 802.1x, and security policies to comply with port profiles.
