So how do you transform the campus and branch infrastructure to support cloud applications?
Unfortunately today’s campuses are brittle and manual. Campus architectures are complex with:
layers of switches and VLANs and,
multiple management points that require different tools which adds to operational difficulty
Add on security layers of every flavor from load balancers to security du jour products, and it’s every network administrator’s inherited nightmare!
Any change to the network can break something or open a security gap making it difficult to rapidly deploy and troubleshoot applications
So how do you transform you enterprise campus network? You need to adopt a simplified architecture to start building an agile network.
The first step is to look at the lessons learned in the data center. Leveraging fabric technologies and simplifying management for automation of new network elements is key.
[Click] Collapsing core, distribution and access into a single simple to manage platform from the DC or Campus headquarters removes operational headaches while providing functionality for more network agility. With a single, simple to manage platform, you can expand access port functionality, protect the edge via the cloud, and centralize configuration, provisioning, management, policy and visibility. And it works regardless of the deployment model: physical or virtual; public or private cloud; or traditional IT.
[Click] For example, Junos Fusion Enterprise allows customers to build an agile enterprise network with plug and play technology allowing for access switches to look like extension ports of the core switch. It utilizes automated configurations to provide simplified operations and management.
Junos Fusion Enterprise is simple, smart and flexible. By collapsing the entire network infrastructure into one logical device it:
tremendously simplifies management,
brings consistency to operations and
ultimately helps you realize CAPEX and OPEX savings.
Simple
Junos Fusion Enterprise greatly simplifies daily operations and reduces time spent on adds, moves and changes. Enterprise Fusion supports plug-and-play expansion with zero touch provisioning for satellite devices. Simply have your Smart Hands team plug in the device and Enterprise Fusion does the rest. The new satellite device is auto discovered, with no IT intervention. Also, VLANs are auto-sensed and automatically provisioned on the correct ports.
Junos Fusion Enterprise also features Rolling Software Upgrades. This allows network operators to stagger the software upgrades for all satellite devices. For example this allows operators to qualify new software before a full rollout by only upgrading designated test satellite devices and not all satellite devices. Ultimately you get flexibility that ensures the highest availability for apps.
Network Director provides single point of management for Junos Fusion Fabric—it centralizes management and orchestration all from a single-pane-of-glass. With ND you manage all Fusion Enterprise devices, services, policies, access control and VLANs. ND also allows you to visualize your entire enterprise, both campus and data center topologies, and it allows you to analyze traffic flows and execute bulk operations.
Simple to Secure – with Fusion Enterprise you can instantly deploy and update access policies throughout the entire network. Simply apply the policy once in the EX9200 aggregation device and Fusion Enterprise does the rest. Simplifying configuration and keeping the network consistent, Fusion Enterprise eliminates error-prone, box-by-box manual changes that can lead to opening security gaps. Ultimately you get greater visibility into the network for faster identification, location and isolation of threats and intruders.
Smart
Junos Fusion Enterprise is built the open standards-based 802.11BR protocol, using open application programming interfaces (APIs). It delivers a loosely coupled system that allows for distributed forwarding scale. Fusion Enterprise supports native L2, L3, MPLS and Ethernet VPN (EVPN), providing a bridge to software-defined cloud networking with no protocol or vendor lock-in. Our commitment to programmability and open APIs also gives customers the flexibility to leverage solutions from Juniper’s ecosystem partners.
Fusion Enterprise is also highly resilient. Since it employs the EX9200 as the core, Aggregation Device, a Fusion Enterprise fabric inherits these resiliency features:
Separate, dedicated data, control and management planes
Master and backup routing engines that can run in active-active mode. They’re capable of supporting different Junos versions for maximum availability and separation
The EX9200 features hot-swappable, field replaceable components including line cards, fans, power supplies and routing engines
The EX9200 also features ISSU, In-service Software Upgrades, allowing for seamless upgrades with no traffic loss or performance degradation.
Fusion Enterprise’s Rolling software upgrade feature allows network admins to stagger network upgrades. So for example, they can choose to upgrade floors 1-5 at 8am, floors 6-15 at noon, and floors 16-20 at midnight. This reduces risk and prevents the need to perform massive, disruptive rollbacks of the entire network, for example.
As you may know, the EX9200 features the ability to program its control and management planes via open APIs. This allows it to support Junos OS-based automation with Junos SDK, enabling integration with Puppet or other automation apps or integration with orchestrating apps like OpenStack. The beauty of Fusion is that it allows the entire network to inherit any these programmability features. So now the satellite devices are effectively programmable and controllable by automation and orchestration applications.
Flexible
Junos Fusion Enterprise’s flexibility provides you with investment protection. Today you can deploy EX9200 core switches and EX4300 access switches in your enterprise network using Virtual Chassis technology and, with a simple software upgrade, transform it into a Fusion Enterprise fabric tomorrow. And you can simply incorporate the existing wiring and topology. For instance, if you have a 10 member EX4300 Virtual Chassis configuration, that group automatically becomes a Fusion Enterprise cluster, with no need to touch wiring. Essentially, Fusion Enterprise allows you to use the same hardware and topology of your current infrastructure.
Also, your on premise data center can be incorporated in Enterprise Fusion. The EX4300 EX4300 ToR switches become Satellite Devices as you connect them directly to the EX9200 Aggregation device.
Through its use of the EX9200, Fusion Enterprise now gives you connectivity support from 1 to 100 GbE. At the access you can choose from 100BASE-T to 40 GbE.
In terms of wiring Fusion Enterprise gives you maximum flexibility with options such as dual-homed satellites to a single aggregation device or dual-homed via different satellite cluster members.
Simple, Smart, Flexible
The result? True business agility.
Think of Junos Fusion Enterprise as a large, all-encompassing “logical” chassis and routing engine device. Of course the EX9200, which serves as the primary core, the brain, if you will, is physically a chassis device. However in the Junos Fusion construct each of the satellite devices, the access switches, becomes a logical “line card” in the Fusion logical chassis.
The primary benefit of this abstraction is that all the satellite devices now inherit all the capabilities and features found on the aggregation devices. For example the EX9200 is capable of communicating via EVPN. With Junos Fusion Enterprise, now the entire network, including all the access switches which comprise the satellite devices, are also able to employ EVPN. This allows, for example, the ability to segment the network across all remotely separated locations.
Junos Fusion Enterprise can also serve as the core for your on premise data center. For example if you have a local data center with 5, 10 or perhaps 15 racks, then each of the Top of Rack (ToR) switches can be connected to the same Fusion Enterprise fabric as Satellite Devices. This allows you to truly collapse operations by consolidating your network into one logical device that includes the data center ToRs as well as the wiring closet access switches.
Junos Space Network Director provides you with the single-pane-of-glass view into your entire Junos Fusion Enterprise-based network. Essentially it allows you to apply consistent, unified policies across your entire Enterprise network, which maybe composed of one or more Fusion Enterprise fabrics, even if these fabrics are located in different cities. Thus Network Director further simplifies management and picks up where Fusion Enterprise left off in terms of collapsing the entire network into a single logical device to manage. ND takes simplified operations to a massive scale. For example, if you need to add a filter to a VLAN, you make the change in ND and it proliferates that change throughout your entire network, applying that new policy change to every Fusion Enterprise fabric.
And Network Director is easy to use with wizard-based work flows that simplify configuration/provisioning. It allows you to simplify
Deployments across all Fusion fabrics
Upgrade Software on all devices in all Fusion fabrics
Provision Class of service (COS) across all fusion fabrics
