Network Switches

Switching

Just as routers have been ubiquitous in the WAN environment for decades, so have switches been in the LAN, and increasingly in the WAN environment. Originally an evolution of Layer 2 bridging (a switch being a bank of bridging ports), switches have climbed the OSI stack and can now offer myriad features, including Layer 3 routing, firewall functionality, DHCP server capabilities and much more.

IP Performance’s technology specialists and engineers have years of experience and expertise in specifying the correct switching platforms for customer requirements, from the simplest 12 port rackmount device to chassis-based systems, and to complex distributed switch fabrics.

    Data is ingested from numerous sources, including Juniper Mist Access Points, Switches, Session Smart Routers, and Firewalls for end-to-end insight into user experiences. These devices work in concert with Mist AI to optimize user experiences from client-to-cloud, including automated event correlation, root cause identification, Self-Driving Network™ operations, network assurance, proactive anomaly detection, and more.

    Juniper also leverages Mist AI for next-generation customer support. It is the foundational element behind Marvis, the industry’s first AI-driven Virtual Network Assistant, which provides extensive insight and guidance to IT staff via a natural language conversational interface.

    With Mist AI, operators save time and money with faster problem resolution and fewer onsite visits. Users benefit from a network infrastructure that is more predictable, reliable, and measurable.

    Additional services include:

    Premium Analytics for network visibility and business intelligence.

    Asset Visibility makes it easy to find key assets and people, with detailed location analytics.

    Risk Profiling defends your network by understanding risk associated with each connecting device, including IoT, and dynamically enabling the most appropriate access and security policy.

    IoT Assurance cloud service streamlines IT operations while securing network connections for headless IoT and BYOD devices.

    Juniper access switches, born in the cloud era and driven by Mist AI, deliver the performance and scale you expect from Juniper with zero touch provisioning, campus fabric, proactive troubleshooting, and self-driving automation for ongoing operational simplicity. When combined with Juniper’s AI-driven wireless access and SD-WAN solutions, you get end-to-end automation, insights, and actions for the best operational and end user experiences from client to cloud.

    Provision, deploy and operate Juniper EX Series access switches from the Juniper Mist cloud. Wired Assurance and Marvis Virtual Network Assistant apply the power of Mist AI using rich streaming telemetry from EX switches to enable simple operations, rapid Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), and the best visibility into device experiences. It is easy to setup and manage network fabrics, apply robust policies, cost effectively scale, and troubleshoot “needle in haystack” problems like misconfigured VLANs and bad cables.

    Juniper’s EX Series access switches deliver enterprise-grade performance to meet all your business requirements and technical needs. They offer a robust feature set, including multigigabit rates (1/2.5/5/10GbE), Power over Ethernet (PoE up to 90W), standards-based microsegementation with Group Based Policy, MACsec, and cloud-readiness (from Day 0 to Day 2+), to name a few.

  • IP Performance enabled us to trial the system in a test environment and then between Dubai and Edinburgh. They provided us with full support and fast response to any problems.
