Juniper Networks® PTX Series Packet Transport Routers transform the transport network with innovations that deliver unprecedented throughput efficiency at the lowest cost per bit. The PTX10002-36QDD is a 2 U fixed-configuration 800GbE router with industryleading performance and power efficiency. This 800GbE routing platform unleashes a massive 28.8Tbps capacity supporting 36x800GbE/72x400GbE interfaces with inline MACsec. The PTX10002-36QDD extends the industry-leading PTX routing portfolio to meet and exceed the highest throughput and scale requirements of carrier-grade networks in an ultra-compact form factor. The PTX10002-36QDD supports a myriad of missioncritical network roles, such as core, peering, data center interconnect and data center edge, metro aggregation, and AI data center networking, for service and cloud providers, as well as enterprise networks. With its elastic architecture and precise traffic controls, the PTX10002 gives customers the freedom to develop and deliver new services anywhere in the network without compromising the service experience.
The Evolving Landscape
New traffic dynamics such as mobile, video, and cloud-based services are transforming traditional network patterns and topologies. Stratified, statically designed, and manually operated networks must evolve to support the constantly growing volumes of traffic quickly and economically. Many operators have seen their profits stagnate and TCO increase under the burden of these growing traffic volumes. Cloud and service providers need to become more agile to optimize their existing network resources, shorten planning cycles, and remove rigid network layers.
Operators are facing multiple challenges in the current environment:
- Static scale: Provider and enterprise network backbones handle the full weight of network traffic. It is paramount that core networks are inherently designed for scalability and efficiency. This 800GbE-capable platform, with 10/40/100/400/800GbE inline MACsec, empowers network operators to maintain pace with traffic growth incrementally with an elegant, elastic, redundant ultra compact router.
- Static architecture: Virtualized services and the explosion of cloud-based applications are creating increasingly unpredictable traffic patterns. To handle this unpredictability, service providers need an adaptable platform like the PTX10002-36QDD that scales across the WAN transport in a plethora of roles with flexible programmability to support any service, anywhere.
- Power costs: With the ever-increasing bandwidth demands and associated power utilization projected for WAN routing, power efficiency is of paramount concern. Leading the industry with Express 5 silicon's unparalleled power efficiency, the PTX10002-36QDD minimizes your environmental footprint while maximizing performance by integrating 36x 800GbE or 72x 400GbE interfaces through dual-LC connectors in a compact 2 U form factor. This significantly reduces power costs and advances sustainability objectives including space and carbon footprint.
