Juniper Networks Reaches Beyond the Core; Deployments Set With Leading Service Providers and Carriers.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 19, 2000 Juniper Networks Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: JNPR) is an information technology company based in Sunnyvale, California and founded in 1996. The company designs and sells Internet Protocol network products and services. , Inc. (Nasdaq:JNPR JNPR Juniper Networks, Inc. (stock symbol) ), a leading provider of next-generation IP infrastructure systems, today announced it is enabling the rapid bandwidth build-out at the edges of service provider networks with a suite of innovative IP solutions. The suite includes two new M-series platforms (M5(TM), M10(TM)) designed for space- and power-constrained environments, a new set of high-speed, dedicated access T1/E1 and channelized Refers to an architecture that transmits data in channels. It often refers to the 64 Kbps channels in T1 lines, which were originally developed to handle digitized voice streams (TDM). See TDM. DS-3 interfaces, and new access features for JUNOS(TM) 4.1 Internet software. All of these solutions are shipping today. Leading service providers and carriers using these new solutions include APEX Network Technology Corporation, AduroNet, Broadband Office, Fusion Communications Corporation, IPergy, and Verio. The M5 and M10 Internet backbone (communications, networking) Internet backbone - High-speed networks that carry Internet traffic. These communications networks are provided by companies such as AT&T, GTE, IBM, MCI, Netcom, Sprint, UUNET and consist of high-speed links in the T1, T3, OC1 and OC3 ranges. routers are the first platforms to offer wire-rate (T1/E1 to OC-48c /STM-16c) performance with over ten times the forwarding and route lookup A data search performed within a predefined table of values (array, matrix, etc.) or within a data file. capacity, using only 25 percent of the power and space consumption of existing routers deployed for dedicated access today. The new T1/E1 and channelized DS-3 interfaces, along with new JUNOS 4.1 service features are available for all the M-series systems (the M5, M10, M20(TM), M40(TM) and M160(TM) routers), further optimizing both core and edge environments. These new products reduce operational costs and increase efficiency since the same JUNOS software runs across all Juniper Networks(R) platforms. "Our purpose-built routers are used in the world's largest and fastest growing networks. The current solutions in the dedicated access market lack the features and performance needed by our customers. It is a natural evolution to extend our backbone strengths and experience gained in the core to the edges of their networks," said Scott Kriens, chief executive officer and president of Juniper Networks. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Tam Dell'Oro, founder of Dell'Oro Group, the dedicated access opportunity worldwide is $1.3 billion or one third of the current legacy high-end router market for 2000. The strengths of the Juniper Networks routers are also directly applicable to the metro core -- a new emerging market. The unparalleled policy, control and security features of the M-series routers enable metro service providers to build smaller-scale versions of core infrastructure backbones. These "mini-cores" are essential for scaling the metro networks Metro Networks is a broadcasting outsourcing company based in Houston, Texas. It is a subsidiary of Westwood One, which is managed by CBS Radio. The company operates a number of local and regional news and traffic facilities that provide regular reports to affiliates, together with that connect local providers to national providers and deliver access to information located on the metro network. "The metro market is an emerging new segment with significant growth potential," noted Tim Smith Tim Smith is a common name. Notable people with the name Tim Smith include:
To grow their businesses, service providers need fast, intelligent networks. All the M5 and M10 routers have the breakthrough Internet Processor II(TM) ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. that enables complex services such as packet filtering See packet filter. for increased security and sampling to gain visibility into traffic patterns. With each JUNOS release more Internet Processor II ASIC capabilities are added. The latest release, JUNOS 4.1, introduces rate limiting In computer networks, rate limiting is used to control the rate of traffic sent or received on a network interface. Traffic that is less than or equal to the specified rate is sent, whereas traffic that exceeds the rate is dropped or delayed. , which reduces operations overhead by enabling service provider staff to automatically adjust bandwidth availability on a per customer basis, rather than having to deploy DSU 1. (communications) DSU - Data Service Unit. 2. DSU - Disk Subsystem Unit (Artecon). 3. (humour) DSU - Dwarf Storage Unit. equipment to manually adjust bandwidth. This results in substantial time and cost savings and allows the provider to offer attractive, tiered and burstable-rate services to their customers. The new M5 and M10 routers are the fourth and fifth platforms that Juniper Networks has shipped within 24 months. Both systems are three rack units high (5.25" or 13.3cm). The M5 router has four interface slots, while the M10 router has eight interface slots. An initial system configuration costs $25K (M5 router) and $40K (M10 router), with interfaces starting at $10K.
