Juniper Networks announced that Terra, the Latin American
online media company, has selected Juniper Networks to provide its data center
network to help meet growing consumer demand for online media.
Juniper
will work with Terra to deliver major improvements to the company’s data center
performance, scalability and agility in the United States and Brazil,
optimizing consumers’ interactive experiences with Terra’s online multimedia.
“As a leader in online media, we experience
increasingly heavy traffic from over 70 million visitors each month, and we
recognize that network performance is critical to deliver the enhanced
experiences that our users demand,” said Ruy Neto, technology managing
director for Terra.
“We looked for a networking vendor with a vision for
a solution that will scale across our entire data center yet is managed with
complete operational simplicity. Terra found that Juniper’s vision and approach
to the data center were exactly what we needed to take our network to the next
level. The QFX3500 deployment provides us an immediate onramp to Juniper’s
QFabric technology, enabling long-term performance gains and lower total cost
of ownership,” Neto added.
To maximize the performance and reliability of its
network, Terra will deploy Juniper NetworksQFX3500 Switches in its
data centers in Miami and Porto Alegre, Brazil, consolidating thousands of
ports into a planned QFabric network with low latency and high resiliency.
The deployment will be supported by Sao Paulo-based
partner Binário, which was named Juniper Networks Latin American Partner of the
Year for 2010.
“The mobile Internet and demand for cloud computing
are growing exponentially, and as such, data centers need to be equipped to
handle extreme bandwidth pressures of multimedia content both now and into the
next decade,” said R.K. Anand, executive vice president and general
manager, data center business unit for Juniper Networks.
Juniper Networks recently announced
that the University of Auckland has embarked on a strategy to simplify its data
center network to support the adoption of a cloud computing model.
By adopting Juniper Networks’ “3-2-1” data
center network architecture and deploying a switching infrastructure running
the Junos operating system, the University of Auckland is benefiting from
better scalability and performance, reduced complexity, and greater operational
efficiencies.
