Product Description

The Juniper Networks® EX4400 line of Ethernet switches offers a secure, cloud-ready portfolio of access switches ideal for enterprise branch, campus, and data center networks. The EX4400 switches combine the simplicity of the cloud, the power of Mist AI™, and a robust hardware foundation with best-in-class security and performance to deliver a differentiated approach to access switching in the cloud, mobile, and IoT era. With Juniper Mist™ Wired Assurance, the EX4400 can be effortlessly onboarded, configured, and managed from the cloud. This simplifies operations, improves visibility, and ensures a much better experience for connected devices.

Key features of the EX4400 include:

• Cloud-ready, driven by Mist AI with Juniper Mist Wired Assurance and Marvis Virtual Network Assistant
• Ethernet VPN-Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN) to the access layer
• End-to-end encryption using Media Access Control Security (MACsec) AES256
• IEEE 802.3bz Multigigabit
• IEEE 802.3bt Power over Ethernet (PoE++)
• Standards-based microsegmentation using group-based policies (GBP)
• Flow-based telemetry to monitor traffic flows for anomaly detection
• Precision Timing Protocol - Transparent clock
• 10-member Virtual Chassis support

Offering a full suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, the EX4400 enables a variety of deployments, including campus, branch, and data center top-of-rack deployments. As requirements grow, Juniper's Virtual Chassis technology allows up to 10 EX4400 switches to be seamlessly interconnected and managed as a single device, delivering a scalable, pay- as-you-grow solution for expanding network environments.

The Juniper Networks® ACX7100 Series is designed to help operators achieve their capital, operational, and user experience goals. The ACX7100 offers industryleading power efficiency in a compact form factor. It delivers 4.8 Tbps of ASIC forwarding capacity, cloud-inspired native port speeds that include 400GbE quad small form-factor pluggable transceiver (QSFP56-DD) interfaces, and Media Access Control Security (MACsec) options-making it ideal for metro high-end aggregation, large enterprise, and top-of-rack, spine-leaf data center applications.

Combined with the power of Junos® OS Evolved and the Juniper Paragon Automation Portfolio, the ACX7100 is fully equipped to help operators realize their capital and operational objectives while thriving in the 5G, IoT, and cloud era. Platform capabilities include: deep buffers; a full complement of Layer 2/Layer 3 and MPLS protocols and features; advanced programmability, telemetry, and network slicing technologies enabling dynamic service creation; and the ability to seamlessly integrate with emerging distributed edge compute architectures. Designed for metro, large enterprise, and data center use cases, the ACX7100 is also a foundational building block of an IP services fabric in a Juniper Cloud Metro solution.

ACX7100 Product Offering

The ACX7100 Router comes in two models, each equipped to address the challenges and opportunities of the 5G, IoT, and cloud era:

• ACX7100-32C: The ACX7100-32C provides full duplex ASIC throughput of 4.8 Tbps in a 1 U fixed platform designed for applications that require dense fan-out in a small, power-efficient footprint. It supports 32 ports of 100GbE and 4 ports of 400GbE QSFP56-DD, including MACsec support on all ports.
• ACX7100-48L: The ACX7100-48L provides full duplex ASIC throughput of 4.8 Tbps in a 1 U fixed platform designed for applications that require dense fan-out in a small, power-efficient footprint. It supports cloud-inspired service rates, and port-by-port configuration of native 10GbE (SFP+), 25GbE (SFP28), and 50GbE (SFP56) on all 48 service ports, including 6 ports of 400GbE QSFP56-DD for granular aggregation in metro, large enterprise, and data center applications.

ACX7100 platforms provide investment protection to operators. Juniper incorporates an innovative circuit board design to deliver groundbreaking performance, increased system memory for enhanced scaling, and cooling innovations that enable the use of cutting-edge pluggable transceiver technologies. Efficient cooling within these 1 U platforms enables ZR/ZR+ pluggable transceiver technology to be fully deployed on all 100GbE and 400GbE ports simultaneously, delivering industry-leading flexibility and capacity. Integrated port variety, density, and flexibility provide previously unattainable levels of scale and long-term transformation in a fixed form factor.
