Juniper Networks announced that Phonoscope, operator of
the privately-owned fiber optic Metropolitan Area Network in the U.S., has
selected Juniper Networks routing solutions as its platform of choice to
support IPv4/IPv6 addressing transition and coexistence across its 46
multi-gigabit Ethernet fiber optic rings.
Phonoscope supplies customers on its network with a
variety of commercial and residential grade services and is making the
necessary investments to fully support IPv6, in anticipation of the future
depletion of IPv4 addresses.
“As a technology pioneer in providing advanced
services for our customers, Phonoscope has consistently been an early leader
and innovator in making sure that our services are ready to support all of the
network traffic requirements of our customers, including support for IPv6
addresses,” said Robert Jacobs, network director at Phonoscope.
“Juniper Networks has been a committed partner in
helping us make educated, practical decisions as we prepared to build a smooth
migration path to continue support for IPv4 while supporting new IPv6-based
traffic,” Jacobs added.
As part of its move to accommodate IPv6 addresses,
Phonoscope deployed Juniper Networks® MX960 3D Universal Edge Routers, which
support all major facets of IPv4/IPv6 transition and coexistence technologies,
including DS Lite and NAT44/NAT 444.
The MX Series Universal Edge Routers are a portfolio of
high-performance Ethernet routers that function as a Universal Edge platform capable
of supporting all types of Phonoscope customers, including business and
residential customers.
“Phonoscope is an excellent showcase of how the
transition to IPv6 address support can be managed simply and cost-effectively
while ensuring continued network support and operation,” said Robert
Krohn, vice president for marketing and general manager, Router Services
Business Group, Juniper Networks.
“Juniper’s next generation network addressing
portfolio answers the IPv6 challenge with a robust mix of hardware and software
innovations that are designed to support customers like Phonoscope who must
deliver a seamless transition and coexistence experience for their
subscribers,” Krohn added.
Juniper Networks has made significant investments in
technologies and solutions that enable enterprises and service providers to
meet mixed IP addressing needs even as they build out IPv6 networks as rapidly
as markets and services require.
Juniper Networks and OnLive recently announced
that OnLive, a provider of on-demand, instant-play video games, has upgraded
its data center infrastructure with a simplified Juniper Networks architecture
of routing, switching and security solutions.
Powered by Juniper Networks single operating system,
Junos, OnLive’s data centers can support massive amounts of bandwidth for
voice, video and data from the cloud to customers using a simplified,
integrated design that requires fewer devices and interconnections.
