Telecom Italia deploys Juniper Networks MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers 

Telecom Italia has deployed Juniper Networks MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers on its service point of presence (PoP) infrastructure.

Telecom Italia is currently trialing Juniper Networks Contrail SDN and NFV controller with OpenStack to transform its service creation complexity by integrating virtual and physical network functions as well as creating flexible, dynamic service chains.

Juniper’s open approach to SDN/NFV networking enables Telecom Italia to integrate physical and virtual network functions from Juniper Networks as well as third party vendors.

The company said Juniper’s MX Series acts as an edge services aggregation node for Telecom Italia’s PoP infrastructure. The global telecom operator will also use the solution as a software defined networking (SDN) gateway to connect physical and virtual networks.

“The integration of Juniper Networks high performance technology as a service hub brings increased flexibility to introduce new service features to our customers. We leverage Juniper’s expertise to make SDN/NFV technologies the key to shortening time-to-market and improve cost effectiveness,” said Paolo Fasano, Data Networks Innovation, Telecom Italia.
