If you look at trends in network growth—both in numbers of connected devices and in bandwidth demand—and at trends in network cost versus network revenue, a disturbing reality emerges. It is impossible to meet the new demands in the old way.

Automation is the clear answer, with one caveat: to work, automation needs to extend through the network, from the edge to the core. In our current network environment, characterized by a kind of OS sprawl, attempts at automation are often limited in their reach. In other words, any automation solution that needs to be deployed and maintained across dozens of operating systems isn’t really automation at all.
Our solution? Junos.

Junos is a unified network OS built on a single source base code, following a single, predictable release train. It runs across the whole network portfolio, from the high-end, high capacity machines to the small box running at the branch office. It lets you consolidate your network, treating thousands of devices as if they were a single box. And it radically simplifies management, letting you control the network from a single pane of glass.

In short, Junos is an automation platform—reducing downtime, reducing turnaround for updates and maintenance, boosting configuration consistency and eliminating a huge source of human error.

The savings are significant. By cutting the frequency and duration of unplanned events, Junos can reduce downtime costs by 27%. By simplifying the resolution time of unplanned events, Junos can save you another 40%.

Perhaps most importantly, this level of automation—a level unmatched by Cisco or any of our competitors—means that your most senior people can get out of the weeds and get back to thinking about your business.
The new network is here. And it’s running Junos.
